    I figure that Luis Scola playing time will not be more that 10 minutes per game considering that it'll be his rookie season.
    You figure wrong.

    It's true but obviosly without NBA experience and playoff's wars over his shoulders.

    Personally I'll pull the trigger if the trade are on the table.

    More than 10. You would be wise not to make a wager about that.

    Malik will not be returning to Houston especially for Rasho.

    He is undersized for C, and not a great back up PF.

    He may be a fan favorite, but he is not worth trading our C for.

    Additionally, one reason we got Nazr was to have a full size back up C. We will not be trading Rasho, unless we find that Nazr can up his defense, catch a ball, not pump fake ten times, and that Scola can slide to C (which is still very much under debate).

    Also, the reason Rasho was benched during the playoffs was the bad ankle injury he suffered right at the end of the season, which had him out and limited during the first two series, and in the third and finals series, he did not match up well, particularly given his additional speek limitations due to that injury. It had nothing to do with Pop not trusting him or preferring Nazr.

    And given that we wanted out of Malik's contract, but haven't decided whether or not we want out of Rasho's (dependant on whether he becomes a back up or not), so your money argument is null.

    One final statement, that they should bring back a fan favorite -- please, do try to remember that the Spurs are first and foremost a business and that their business is winning. They accomplished that quite handily without Malik, and the third championship in seven years ensured the continued fan support. It is not necessary to hurt the team play and strangle the cap room in order to appease the fans.

    Really you've posted a good and interesting opinion that make me formulate a pair of questions:

    a) Is Rasho worth the contract he links with the Spurs?

    b) Rasho really fulled the expectatios that fans had at the beginning of the season?

    Did Malik?

    Would Malik?

    If you're looking to save money, getting Malik back isn't the way to do it. Trade Rasho to Atlanta in that case.

    If you just want Malik back at any cost, just say so. Many have.

    As much as Rasho sucks in the paint he is an above average NBA center. That perhaps is a sad commentary on today's game, but that's another thread for another day.

    With Nazr's future in SA uncertain and Scola's ability to live up to the hype unsettled, you don't move Radoslav at this time. If Nazr stays and Scola is as advertised then the Spurs have a tradeable commodity to work with. Furthermore, the Spurs will be looking to move Rasho because they want to pare back payroll. Holt Cat will want that contract gone if he's destined to ride the bench. They will not take Malik back in a trade.

    This is just a great idea except Rasho:

    1.) Is better than Malik
    2.) Plays the center possession better than Malik
    3.) Doesn't get in Pop's doghouse.
    4.) Is worth more trade value wise.
    5.) Could be our potential starting center next year.


    Hmm, I will give you this though: Malik is a much better chearleader though.

    Rasho is better than Malik so much so that Malik was closing out games instead of Rasho when he was in the rotation. Also, I will add that Malik actually would find a way to get more than 15 times a season.

    I'll give you this though: you have a decent signature.

    Houston.

    D'OH.

    Sorry, I'm at work, and that means I type Houston all the time. . I meant SA. I just live in Houston and clearly that s with everything.

    Sigh. One more reason I want to move home.

    I think the only way Malik comes back to the Spurs is out of uniform and working in the PR department for the Spurs.
