Nazr Mohammed turned down a four-year extension in the $25 million range

[picnroll]

Knicks nmust be in on this Malik treatment conspiracy as well seeing as he's at rsk to go on IR from pine splinters in his ass.

And so the truth emerges. The Spurs were willing to extend Mohammed this past summer. They also sought to dump Rasho for Abdul-Wahad's partly guaranteed contract. As long as Rasho remained on the books, the Spurs couldn't give Mohammed what he wanted, instead opting for a lowball offer. No trade for Rasho materializes and the Spurs forget about extending Mohammed. They punt that issue to next summer. Maybe they can unload Rasho's contract at some point inbetween.

This season the Spurs around with Mohammed with the hopes that it will lower his price next summer. If he gets a fat offer, they waive goodbye and deal with the center position with Rasho, Oberto and foreign properties.

[leemajors]

blah blah blah peter. he's not playing up to that offer anyway, glad he didn't take it.

[mikejones99]

sign Nazr 5 years 30 mil. Spurs need him.

[Vashner]

Nazr is good but he's not a "great one". We can do better.

Houston should give up Yao because they will never win (ring) again in his time.

[T Park]

Mohammed aint worth 30 million for 5 years.

[Peter]

Mohammed's price starts there.

[TDMVPDPOY]

nazr should be gettin what pachulia is on or pryzibilla, he aint worth mle

[Slo spurs fan]

Mohammed's price starts at 500k/year.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

nazr should be gettin what pachulia is on or pryzibilla, he aint worth mle

Both are on rookie contracts

[Bruno]

Both are on rookie contracts

None are.
Pryz is on the second year of a 2 years LLE deal.
Pachulia has signed a $16M/4 years deal with hawks this summer. (Bucks haven't matched it)

Some folks see conspiracies behind every move, especially of popular players. I've never been able to figure out why trades or cuts of unpopular players don't have the same reek of conspiracy to the conspiracy aficianados.

Other folks, like the adults in charge of the Spurs, simply see the business side of basketball as business and make decisions based on their best judgement.

[itzsoweezee]

His minutes have dwindled this season because of the improvement Rasho Nesterovic.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. the improvement of rasho nesterovic!?!?!? are you kidding me? rasho sucks now more than ever

[ducks]

rasho sets the best picks on the team
ask pop
oberta is up there to

[Peter]

Rasho did pull down 5 offensive boards versus the TWolves the other night. Of course, he followed that up with 0 against the Jazz.

[Darrin]

" ... The Spurs' Nazr Mohammed turned down a four-year extension in the $25 million range last summer because he wanted to wait until he was a free agent and could be eligible for a longer deal. Bad move. His minutes have dwindled this season because of the improvement Rasho Nesterovic. "I would by lying if I said I hadn't thought about it at all," Mohammed said.

Oh, he'll get that easily in the open market. That's Jerome James' money. A team like Seattle or Sacramento, Phoenix or even Dallas could get him for that. That's what the Pistons offered him in 2001 before he went back to the Hawks and the Pistons traded for Zelly Rebraca (who got the same deal).
