Spurs Future Front Line:

[Notorious H.O.P.]

In the Oberto AND Scola scenario, Rasho has to be the one out (not that I want that). Duncan and Horry aren't going anywhere, the Spurs see a lot of potential in Nazr's aggressiveness and they aren't going to bring in both Oberto and Scola unless they plan on giving them some minutes. This could be the time you could get something good back for Rasho since you're trading a big for a small and some team that is size challenged could send the Spurs the long 3 they've been looking for.

But in the end, training camp will decide on the Nazr/Rasho ranking. I wouldn't count Rasho out just yet although it doesn't look too good sometimes. Rasho will benefit from having better hands, passing skills and defensive positioning. But if Nazr can pick up the defensive rotations and increase his aggressiveness on the offensive side and rebounding, he'll take it rather easily.

Nice photoshop work, ace. You could easily do cover page work for "The Star" or "Globe" and most certainly the National Enquirer could use a quality boost.

Thanks Solid D; and when you mentioned the Star you reminded me of something, did you guys catch the picture of Tony with Eva during the championship celebrartion after Game 7 in the SBC Center in Sunday's 'Star'

I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! the spurs are not suppose to be in the media

That Scola cat is one ugly man

Well ...
maybe he can make rivals afraid of him...
...even withour play...

yeah I did put rasho in there, again with that front line, no one could stop the spurs; we could create so many lineup problems

The hope would be that Scola and/or Oberto can make the transition into the NBA defensively. It's one thing to play D in that scrum I saw in the Olympics, it's quite another when you have to step out and guard a man one on one.

Look, I hope both are solid NBA defenders and the Spurs are able to bring both over, especially at their price.
