Looks like Nocioni might have been an option

[DAF86]

So he wasn't an option at all.

Cool.

Ah yeah, I forgot that you are the semantic fanatic.

[MmP]

maybe he just doesn't like the spurs or doesn't want to live in san antonio.

He has stayted in interviews he'd go back to NBA only to play in Chicago (former team) or SA (system-wise).

If he wasn't an option, it can't be said he was an option.

He was a candidate.

I doubt the situation was as simple as Spurs wanting to sign him and Nocioni turning them down because he is under contract with his Spanish team. His Spanish team had to be fine with letting him go and I don't see why they would have been fine with that.

Good, I'd rather McGrady. He's more of an SF than Nocioni, who post injury (I think it was knee) a few years back, hasn't had the quickness to play SF, save for in select match-ups. Though Nocioni is a better three-point shooter, McGrady is more athletic, much more dynamic off the dribble and a significantly better passer, so he's got more overall upside.

Noc would have fit this system better - never been a fan of Tmac tbqh

Let this thread die. Nocioni has nothing left in the tank.
