Gotta like the size -- if Pop can teach Hedo how to play D, you gotta think this guy could do ok.
That was my first reaction!
If it happens I'll have to pe ion that we open a consulate in SA and apply for the post of liaison officer in charge of Spurs related matters(Obviously the job would command a set of season tickets in the VIP section - right next to Eva)
Seriously though I think Erazem Lorbek deserves a good look as draft pick up.

Yes, Nachbar is very good shooter "from downtown". He can shoot also 5-5 from there. But I think he should stay for about 2-3 years in New Orleans because he must create a name in NBA. And then, after that, he can go to Spurs or any good team in NBA.
It would be very interesting if in the Spurs will be three Slovenian players.
True. He asked to be traded and according to him it was an amicable departure from Houston (although he did say that Yao will be the only person on the team that he'll miss).
Nachbar is probably one of the most talented players to come out of Europe in recent years. Great combination of size, speed and athleticism. Can shoot very well (far better than i would have imagined watching him when he was younger) and drive effectively. Has hands long enough to be a good shotblocker (i think one of his blocks was #1 play in the Euroleague one year) but not that sure about his footwork on defense or his will to even play it with consistency, i always thought of him as a pure offensive player. Had some great games in New Orleans ( http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3613/gamelog ), can go from hitting 5 for 5 behind the arc to missing 10 shots the next. I think after sitting for 2 years with the Rockets, the thing he will look for the most in his contract is playing time. He got about 20 minutes a game with the Hornets and is probably going to get more if he resigns there. The Spurs would probably have to let go of Devin if they want to go after Nachbar, and even if they would be willing to do that, they probably couldn't really lure him in with 10-15 minutes a game which is about what would be relegated to him.
There is just one problem with Nachbar:
The greatest of his plays were in Europe with a Benetton team: run by Mike d'Antoni. Defense is for him still to learn. In Sagadin's game he was commendable 6th player.
His size, athleticism and shooting touch make him a very intriguing free agent. With regards to minutes in SA, I would say that there could be about 20 minutes a night for him, if he was worthy of it.
Just give him minutes. He has fought for minutes in every team and was one of the best players when he left.
He didn't play sagadins game because Sagadin is an idiot. Rasho also didn't play much when he was a coach.
Boston would save a ton of $ I believe if the left this guy go. I don't know if they will make that choice until late July. He would be an excellent back-up and the things he does will not always appear in the status. Spurs than could trade Rasho and get something for him.
I like Raef Lafrentz.
I wonder if Doc and his assistant P Pressey would take Rasho?
Raef is much better than Nachbar
Maybe i'm missing something, but where does Boston fit in here?Boston would save a ton of $ I believe if the left this guy go. I don't know if they will make that choice until late July.

Word is Nachbar is all but resigned by the Hornets, supposedly to a 3 year deal. I would speculate for somewhere between 8-10 million.
I don't see it. I have not been impressed with him. When he was first drafted, I thought he would do well. But that is when foreign players were being overhyped. I don't think he will be a solid player. I think their are better options out there. I would much rather have Brown and Johnson. And Mundt is right about NO getting him back. And if he barely even got 20 mins on NO, there is no way he is getting 20 mins here. He would see action in 10-15 games and would average 10 mins.
That's a huge deal for Nachbar -- I figured he could've been had for the minimum -- LLE at the very most.
Do you know what the LLE is?
For that matter, do you have any information on the new CBA? Is there a site to check it out yet?
Nah, all this info will be coming out in the next few weeks. I don't know when the new CBA will be up - it has yet to be finalized. The cap and exception amounts will be known July 22.
It is already finalized isn't it? How else can they be making these contract offers if they don't know the guidelines?
The basic guidelines are in place. Offers can be made but they can only be accepted in principle since the exact amounts aren't known.
gotcha
Maybe the Spurs should make him an offer...
The Spurs should make him an offer.
The guy can shoot, and he can be taught defense.
I like Nachbar's game.
