Ford: Oberto is coming; Scola not coming

[timvp]

why exactly would Portland sign then trade Antonio Daniels???

He didnt even play for them last year.

He's on a roll. Don't stop him.

[grjr]

The words Germans and Pearl Harbor come to mind.

[Kori Ellis]

I have a question for Argentineans (or whoever knows) does Fabricio have a nickname? Or do people actually call him Fabricio?

[Rick Von Braun]

In fact, there's been reports that Scola and his agent were upset that Scola was drafted in the second round. They knew that if a team held his rights, it'd be a lot harder to ever buy out the contract.

This is logical from a business point of view. As a player, if you don't get a guarantee contract in the first round, you are better off not being selected in the 2nd round. You are immediatelly considered a FA from that point forward, and you can negotiate with any team, not just one team.

As a free agent, you have more flexibility to negotiate with any team, under any conditions you want.

The stupid ing in this thread needs to stop. Please get back on track. Shawn Michaels, you've been OWNED. Now resume to posting about basketball.

Thanks.

I liked that Sentence.

Here is ESPN story. Mentions the fact that Oberto could be the starting center, which is a little insane to me.

I'll be surprised if that wasn't posted in the 13 pages.

I still think the Spurs will not trade Rasho! Nazr is going to command big money after this season, since he is obviously better than Dampier and he got 80 million. There's no way Peter Holt is going to pay the Luxury tax. Once we let Nazr go, Rasho will be needed.

Exactly.

"Fabri"

[Kori Ellis]

"Fabri"

Thanks.

[ChumpDumper]

How big are salted, cured meats in Argentina?

The mind reels at the marketing opportunities....

Feel free to photoshop an Argie flag on there.

Oberto playing:

Kurt Cobain???

[Mr. Body]

He favors Jude Law from angles.

[spurschick]

"Fabri"

Fabri? Hmmm... that's just not rolling off my tongue. There has to be another nickname or something out there.

[Duncanoypi]

whats the listed height of Oberto?

[spurschick]

whats the listed height of Oberto?

6'10"

[Gino2882]

ESPN said barely 6'10 with shoes.

The only this signing is good to me is if the Spurs land a SF or Antonio Daniels with the MLE. because I think Scola is a better player.

Patrick Ewing was like 6'9 with shoes and he is a HoF center and one of the all time greats.

Whatever dude. If you were to read my questions correctly and that goes for Kori as well. I asked what was the "salary" cap going to be this season. I never mentioned "luxury."


Look, if you don't know enough about the NBA collective bargaining agreement to understand the difference between the salary cap and the luxury tax threshold, a failure that clearly has been captured above, then you really ought to keep your strong opinions to yourself. You don't know what you're talking about. Others of us do. Shut up.

Thanks for owning this dude while I finished working and then came home and took a nap. Some of you guys are just absolutely clueless and form opinions on players you have never seen and propose salary cap ideas when you know nothing about the CBA. Do yourselves a favor and know what you are talking about around here or you will continue to be owned when posting nonsense.

[BlueShark#6]

P.S. I don't think that Oberto's signing makes Rasho expendable. Oberto is a rather pedestrian big man. He sucks at free throws, too, which should help him fit right in

Remember, Spurs just signed one of if not the best shooting coaches in the league...This team will be above average from the stripe next season.

Offer the Logo either Nazr or Rasho for Battier. The perfect Spur.

I'll believe it when I see it. There is something in the water in SA that makes players unable to shoot well from the line.

My girlfriend - the Knicks fan - was laughing that he had a gold tooth looking at some pictures of him and I denied it was capped. But no... dude really is thugged out.
