    If Nazr even averages eight and eight next season, he's getting a $40M offer from someone.
    Is that over four years? Seems the maximum years are going to be closer to that than seven. Sure makes it easier to sign contracts like that - Malik is the poster boy (one of them anyway) for the 4-yr max.

    I think next year he takes Rasho's job, and averages 10 and 9.

    Spurs resign him for 40 mill, and Rasho then becomes expendable, aka the new "Rose"
    Wow. If he gets into the offensive scheme, I guess I could see him averaging 10 and 9 eventually. But for as high as the Spurs are on Rasho's D, Nazr would have to make tremendous, tremendous strides on the defensive end to displace Rasho in the starting lineup.

    When we got him I thought the SA Express News said we would probably not even keep him after this year. I can tell Pop doesn't like him and I wont be suprised at all if he is gone next season and we make room for resigning players and bringing in new hotshots.

    I don't think Mohmammed will be back next season and I think we will have alot of cap room. But will the guy that Nazr swapped teams with...ever return in a Spurs uniform? I know we'd all love to see him back and I am sure he would love to be back, but will it happen. I sure hope so, with MALIK ROSE and some new guys to go along with the guys we've locked in for the next couple years(Tim,TP,Manu,Brent,Beno and Bruce) we could be one of the best teams ever. I guess I'm getting ahead of myself, but I miss Malik and he needs to come on home, seems like hes been gone a couple of years, rather then what two months? Main point of this post is, do yall (my fellow spurs fans) think Malik will ever retrun to the Alamo City?

    Why do you think pop dis-likes him?

    He never gets playing time and Pop was pretty pissed at him at the Sonics game I went to, and it wasnt just a mad look.

    I don't think he'll be back. His contract is too long and by that time, the Spurs should have figured out what they want to do at the backup power positions.

    I hope he has a successful career in NY.

    Yea but that is POP and pop is not going to play a guy who does not know the system. He also does not have a history of giving up on players. He usually gives them a chance.

    because he doesnt know the systems and is still hurt.

    If he wasnt hurt, he wouldn't still be using the damn heating pad on his legs during the game.

    I hope eventually gets good, I saw a game in New York this Christmas where he just tore the T-wolves apart. But if we're gonna keep him, the spurs at least need him to equal Maliks play, because we know he won't be the same kind of person. If he wanna prove me wrong, he better finish strong.

    I'd bet he won't be in NY by the time his contract expires. He'll be traded or released within two years.

    The way it looks right now we'd probably be getting beat if a young Gervin was on the team.

    My thoughts exactly Jim.

    Either that or it would at least be manageable, under double figures all game or close to it.

    Intangibles

    Well, the damned game is over and I can't help but think that we could have used Malik. I continue to miss him and I don't care if I'm the only person in the world who does.
    We keep running players in and out of the lineup, like they were going through a revolving door. I don't care about the financial angles. We had something going when Malik was a Spur. All these new faces, all these new actors struggling to learn their lines seconds before the curtain rises... You can't tell me that this makes for an SRO hit. Sometimes changes for the good are not changes for the good.
    That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!

    You guys are being ridiculous...Malik wasn't in the doghouse that much this year and he was never in the doghouse when Duncan was injured...he's averaged 16 and 9 with Duncan injured during his career...you guys don't think we could use that?

    He's a had a 20 20 game against the Mavs last season when Duncan was injured...he wrecked them for 25 in the playoffs a few years ago...

    Which of our bigs now can give us that?

    As for the recent play of the Knicks...they were dead in the water and virtually eliminated from the playoffs when Malik got there...there was no margin for error...that 4 game road trip they had they needed to go 3-1 to still have a shot...after they dropped the first 2(when Malik played very well)...it was time for the Knicks to start tanking...it does them no good to win games now...and they are being coached for next season already.

    Rose>Nazr for winning a le this season...

    Marks also>Nazr...it's not even debateable at this point...

    Even Samaki Walker stepped up when Duncan was out. (And you thought he was a slow learner).

    As for Mohammed, it's unfair to expect too much from a player who has been on four teams in seven years.

    What's not fair is that Nazr sucks and is a liability on the court...while we are trying to win a le...these opportunities don't grow on trees, even with Tim Duncan.

    If he was putting up 20 and 10 for us on occasion like he was the Knicks I would be happier...

    It's not his fault that he got traded for Malik...but that doesn't make it ok to suck while we are trying to win a le..

    And he does...and there's no defending it...

    And I know you make all the excuses for it in the world...unfortunately that doesn't help us win games...or les.

    That trade hurt us this season.

    The bottomline is this and I think ChumpDumper and timvp can agree on this point:

    This move was not about dumping salary to get under some imaginary cap figure. It was about the Spurs using the money they had tied up in Rose in a different manner. If that be Nazr, Scola or whoever, the money that was going to Rose will be put to use elsewhere. Simply, it was a reconstruction of the long term salary outlook of the team by taking the Rose money and making it available in other areas.
    It was about both: dumping salary to help offset Parker's, Manu's, and TD's contracts and salary increases and to bring in Scola.

    But for this year, this trade so far is a monumental failure. Neither Nazr nor Rose are playing even up to the level of mediocre for their new teams.
