Who is this Nasr I keep reading about???
Josh Smith would be nice, but the Hawks won't give him up for one of the Spurs' scrub centers. Al Harrington will never be a Spur. He's Antoine Walker lite.
Who is this Nasr I keep reading about???
Nazr for Nachbar
Nazr missed the preseason (he hasn't assimilate the deffensive schemes) and is not in great shape, that's why he doesn't play a lot.
I never say they are showcasing Rasho.
The fact is that Spurs won't keep Rasho and Nazr for the 06-07 season, they have tried to deal Rasho this summer and I don't think the fact that Nazr sucks in november due to family matters and Ramadan while rasho plays 7 average games (look at his stats) will change the front office mind.
Don't say me Pop say Rasho is very good because last year he says Spurs won't make any trade, th next day they trade Malik.
Don't misunterstood, I really like Rasho but it's likely that he will be traded before the deadline.
Rasho may be starting at this point but so what? No permanent rotations are set. Pop said yesterday on his show that Rasho is playing well but also that Nazr is starting to show that he's getting into the flow of things and will demand more minutes. I think it was Buford in his interview that said nothing is permanently set.
Rasho better be playing well. He's had two full season's and three camps with this team. But i wouldn't start riding either Rasho or Nazr's nuts.
Put it this way you have Al Harrington who I dont really think fits here in terms of defensive 3...
Then you have:
Marvin Williams - Nop way they trade him
Josh Smith - I think they see a little Dominique in him. Maybe there blinded by the athletism but there is no way they trade him yet.
Johnson - Don't want the contract, not ready to move him yet.
Childress - The one at the back of the rotation. Quick (i see great potential as a defender) and has been listed as 6'9. In other words long 3 who can shoot (probably the best outside JJ) a bit and slice to the rim.
Looks like they are trying Josh Smith at the 4 and Harrington at the 3 with Johnson at the 2.
Childress backs up Johnson at guard and can swing to 3.
hawks are tryin to clone there game like the suns of last season, this is a n joke, JJ is a by-product of nash

I don't think either of our centers passed the Atlanta audition. If they don't pick it up, we're consigned to alot of small ball this season.
The Spurs are on track to shed Nazr and Radoslav within the year.
I think it had much more to do with switching Duncan off Harrington and onto Pachulia/ Edwards. Who was Rasho supposed to cover?
Who indeed, since it's happening every other game.Who was Rasho supposed to cover?
I notice that neither Rasho or Nazr got a whole lot of minutes. Have the Spurs decided to move TD permanently to center at this stage of his career?
I think Tim might do that later in his career. But Horry started the second half last night and against Boston the other day. That should give a clue to the status of the big guys right now.
Well, the Spurs do have their instant offense bench guys already.
I know Chicago will have 20+ million to play with this summer, and I think they're currently under the cap, so as long as the Spurs send out more than they take back, it should work.
Problem is, unless the Bulls feel too jammed, they could just wait till summer and go after Nazr then. No need to give away Nocioni unless they feel they need size now.
I was sitting 5th row for the game last night, and Childress looks a lot smaller than I thought he was. He 'e the smallest "long 3" I've seen. It looks like somebody stuck him on a copy machine and ran out a version reduced in size by 15%.
I believe they are over the cap now with Chandler's new deal, but something may be able to worked out with the 25% + $100k rule.I know Chicago will have 20+ million to play with this summer, and I think they're currently under the cap, so as long as the Spurs send out more than they take back, it should work.
Why is Nazr barely playing???
2 out of 8??
Just so you know-- Houston- Rasho plays more.
Phoenix-- Rasho plays less.
Sacramento and Golden State- Rasho plays more.
If Harrington hadn't gone off on Tim, the switch wouldn't have been made.
They tried to use JJ at point guard and the experiment failed after just a few games. JJ was at the point, Joshes at the wings and Harrington/Pachulia up front throughout preseason I think, but that lineup only last through opening night. Now only one Josh starts and they use Lue as the starting PG, but JJ is used at the point in stretches throughout the game. They change their starting lineup almost every night. Eight or nine different players have started this season for them already.
Just so you know, this is precisely the reason Rasho will continue to be shopped no matter how much you hold your hands over your ears and say "la la la"....Just so you know-- Houston- Rasho plays more.
Phoenix-- Rasho plays less.
Sacramento and Golden State- Rasho plays more.
Sacramento and Golden State? WCF preview?
Take my word for it. The Spurs are NOT shopping Rasho and he isn't going anywhere this season.
Did you read today's paper-- it says it's about teams going with smaller line-ups and match-ups. The Spurs are fortunate they have that luxury afforded to them by a deep team.
You know Rasho's time against Sac is because he always does a great job on Brad Miller. And actually, Rasho matches up better against Phoenix this season than last.
Why? Who are you?Take my word for it.
