How has Nachbar looked in his time away; the guy looked to have a breakthrough and be a real solid player his final year with the Nets.

Definitely a shooter first and foremost in the NBA, but does contribute in other ways, and plays to his strengths very well. Also has a reputation for being an extremely high character guy. Seems likely to return to the NBA this summer, at a reduced price.
And that would be in reference to Bostjan 'Boki' Nachbar.
#Cavs had further talks with F Matt Barnes. Interest is mutual. Cavs like his toughness, Barnes looking for PT. Talks likely to continue

Seems like its Butler at this point. I don't see the Spurs going after or having a realistic shot at Howard, McGrady, and Barnes.
I'm gonna say that they re-sign Jefferson and end it there..that was my preference from the beginning, but I didn't think they would do it..it looks like that's what might happen now..
With Hairston, Temple, Anderson, Gee, and maybe even Neal, I'm sure a few of them will show something good and earn a bench role..compared to the $ difference between those guys and the potential SF signing, I'd rather stick with them..a bench role isn't worth the potential difference in salary/ability IMO..
If Spurs want to bring in another wing via Free Agency, Bostjan Nachbar has my vote.
He can't defend.
You can't be picky with whats left, he's a 6'9" 38% career 3 point shooter. That is enough for me.
I would rather just give the young guys burn.
No, but neither can James Jones really, and everyone was all over him.
If the Spurs are going to bring someone in for shooting, I'd go with him; but I've also made it known I don't believe they need to bring anyone else in at this point.
I agree..
I'm just saying if Spurs still intend on bringing someone in, Nachbar would be my guy.
RC said that Spurs were looking at shooters and they have made offers to Bell and Jones 2 great shooters. I guess we can deduce that Spurs will go after a shooter.
Rasual Butler, Bobby Simmons, Jarvis Hayes and Bostjan Nachbar are the better shooters of the bunch. Nachbar is a little exotic choice and Butler should be too expensive for Spurs. Simmons and Hayes are my front runner to be signed by Spurs and, quite frankly, it's a little depressing.
If the Spurs are going to bring someone in, I'm guessing they can choose between Nachbar, Simmons and Hayes.
Given the choice, I'd go with Boki, but I'd much rather they play the out of their young guys early and let Anderson see what he can do; they've essentially got the same shooters they had last year, only they've subs uted Mason for Anderson. That should be fine for the first couple of months of the season (at a minimum).
i don't see the point for another shooter ..why did we draft James Anderson then? Didn't the Spurs bring Bonner back mainly because he is suposed to be a good 3-point shooter?
Our main priority should be a decent SF that can defend ! And it's not RJ.
The best option i see for the money we have is Barnes. SA is not his main option, but the Spurs would be the only option for him if he wants to be a starter.
Nachbar is a pretty good defender, he's a good shooter, and can play SF position and even PF position. But he also likes money, he went back to Europe just cause he got a really good deal with Dynamo Moscow. he was on of the most payed players in Europe 2 years ago. Nachbar left Dynamo and said that the team didn't pay him what they said they will, and he was paid just about 30% of what they promised him. He also said last week that he will stay with his team Efes Pilsen, but he is willing to hear an opinion from an NBA team. So if it comes to Simmons, Hayes, Butler and Nachbar, I'd first pick Butler and Boki second.
if the Spurs signed Nachbar and he plays decently, he could create some match up problems
nachbar doesnt do much but shoot but i guess thats what the spurs need
I only know Nachbar from his time in NJ, since I used to follow them closely when Carter played there..
He was an average defender at best, but he was surprisingly athletic, and he was good for a big game every once in a while..he was one of those extremely frustrating players that made you wonder why he couldn't show his ability more often, since he always "seemed" like he should be better than he was on a consistent basis..
He's more than just a shooter though..he has good ability to get to the rim and draw fouls, and he's a pretty good rebounder too..
I don't know if he has improved or not, but I would pass on him..
Of this group, I like Bobby Simmons.
Here's what the ESPN scouting report says on him...
It goes on to say that he's a physical, tough defender but his lack of athleticism hurts his ability to guard quick 3s.Scouting report: A tough, physical wingman, Simmons has the size and shooting ability to occasionally line up as a smallball power forward, providing some added versatility. However, he's not terribly quick and isn't very deft with the dribble -- when he drives it's usually just one dribble for a pull-up. Again, where he excels is on catch-and-shoots from the corners, especially from the left. He has a quick release over his head and can make it with a hand in his face
Still, a corner 3pt shooter who is tough defensively sounds like the best of those options listed above.
I think if someone had suggested signing Bobby Simmons two weeks ago, he would've been run outta spurstalk immediately by 50 searing sarcastic comments. How humble everyone has become late in the free agency season!
I'm still in the group of the "50 searing sarcastic comments" regarding Simmons..I can't think of anything clever to say right now though..
Simmons has unbelievably long arms. Like a shorter version of Larry Sanders long arms. If people want size and corner shooting, he's probably someone to consider.
Me too. Probably something along the lines of not being able to get minutes on one of the worst teams in history... or something like that.
Nachbar will be playing in the World Championships, so the Spurs and us can get a better look at him (if he is signed prior to the WC or if we haven't signed anyone and his name comes up in rumors)

He is currently doing a blog of his training for the WC
