Rasho does not rebound better than Duncan.......

I don't know why he'd want to come back. Pop basically benched him against the Mavs in the PO then traded him for Bonner. Why would he want to rejoin the Spurs again?
Because he's seen how life is on the Raptors and Pacers. And unlike 2006 the Spurs main threat is a team against which a guy like Rasho would come in handy.
I know...I can't believe it!
But you can't teach size and he would definitely help Timmy.
The question is would Pop and RC go back and get him if he's bought out from the Pacers????????
He would be nice depth at the C for the min, but even IF he is bought out it's very possible he has negative associations with his time in SA. I don't know for sure, but I'm not counting on him wanting to return when there would be a couple of other contenders interested as well. A decent defensive big with le experience for around the min should attract more interest than just the Spurs.
Agreed.
I am down with bringing him back with a max 1 year contract and the min.
let's see if he's got anything left...
Good point.....but Pop would have to do a great sales job to get him back.
The question is does Pop want to go there if he comes available???
Also, I believe the Spurs have 2 mil or so left on the mix of the MLE and LLE. So they would have to give that to him and guarantee next season as well for starters.
BRING BACK RASHO!!
I have my Slovenia jersey Kori was gracious enough to let me have... lets bring back number 8!!!
Where the heck does that come from? The spurs have roughly 2 million in room below the lux tax line. They have part of the MLE (~2 million) and the LLE (~2 million) available, and of course, you can sign anybody for the vet min, no matter your tax/cap position.
Unless offered much more money, Rasho would be an idiot to take a contract that extends beyond this season after being bought out. While he is not getting another big contract (eg his current ~ 8 million/year), he could get something like 10 Million/3 years in the offseason if he is an FA. No one will give him anything close to that at this point in the season.
If Rasho is bought out, he'll be looking at a 1 year pro-rated contract, most likely for the vet minimum. He'll chose between whatever offers he gets on the basis of fit into the team and championship odds...Which should make SA pretty attractive. There was never any bad blood that I was aware of between Rasho and Popovich; the only reason he was traded was because of his oversized contract.
8 is taken VVVVVV
I'd take Rasho back in this scenario. Given the Spurs defensive needs, another big man would seem vital to any championship aspirations the team might have. 7 footers who can legitimately defend aren't easy to find; Rasho just happens to be one of the few on the planet who can do that. Certainly, it's not like going out and finding an all-league defender, but it's a whole lot better (IMO) than thinking that Mikki Moore might be a solution.
Along with the "knowing the system" stuff -- and I suspect that we're talking more about being better able to quickly relearn the system than a rote knowledge of what the Spurs do -- the bigger point is that Rasho could come in without disrupting any team chemistry. He's not a rock-the-boat guy, from what I can tell, but more importantly, it sure seems like the guys who are left from the years that Rasho was here really like him. That's not insignificant.
I want Sho to be number 82 next because then he'll have been all the numbers off my birthday month, day, and year.8 is taken VVVVVV
8/12/82
On top of that, he would make the offense better with his screens. Mason coming off a Rasho screen would be awesome. Also him rotating over to a driving player is gonna be more intimidating than Bonner most obviously.

I like the idea of 88 better.
big body, makes the mid-range J consistently, good passer, knows the system..sounds great to me..
Yeah cross your fingers the Spurs will want him back, he gets bought out by Indiana, and everything works out.
Fine, so long as Sho comes back here.
I like Rasho very much, however I doubt that he will get offer like this. If Zeke would still be knicks GM, than maybe....
+ 1
And he would help defend the paint, block shots, alter shots. He can help defensive rebound some. And he knows the system.
It would improve our interior defense which is so bad. And as another poster noted, Tim would not have to combat two 7 footers on both ends of the court. Against several teams, especially against the Lakers, we will need a big that can actually guard the paint.
He can start.
He's serviceable.
Yes, it has come to this.
i think he's probably the best Big that is available right now. He fits the needs of team pretty well right now (in contrast with the 2006 need, i.e. Dirk)
If we can pick him up, I'm all for it.
I was doing some looking around the internet and found this interview from last summer. Rasho says once his current contract is up he would return to europe and play. Maybe this would be what he did if he was bought out?

Angel Luv has been dreaming of the day.
I hope the Spurs bring him back. His defense and offensive rebounding (tip outs) were greatly underappreciated.
