Nazr leaving the Spurs?!!?!?!!?
I don't know if the writer is just assuming that Nazr isn't happy or what -- it doesn't have any quotes or anything. But it's safe to assume a couple teams will be interested in him this summer -- Chicago, Seattle and a few others.The Spurs' free-agent center isn't happy about falling out of the rotation after scoring 18 points in the Game 1 win over the Kings.
Nazr leaving the Spurs?!!?!?!!?
I think he's improved. But there is something missing with him....
Like a brain lol. .jk..
we better get sumthing in return if we do trade nazr, a few draft picks would be nice, he did end up costin us the suns pick that was due
remember that trade last season kings and jazz over ostertag, if ostertage is worth 3 scrub players, i wonder how much scrub players in return can we get for rasho
Nazr will quit in summer I'm sure.
Javtokas will replace him next year.
I wouldn' t mind either if we can sign him for MLE.
I have believed for a year that Nazr would probably end up a Bull.
I also am pretty tired of that stat from Game 1. We all know half those points came in the last couple of minutes of garabge time. He had about 8 or 9 points when it mattered, as did Horry, Rasho and just about every one else who played in that game!!
I am assuming the idea that he is unhappy comes from the previously discussed quotes in the San Antonio paper.
First Nazr was traded- he did not "come over" for any price. Second, Nazr turned down an extension from the Spurs that would have paid him $6.5M per season- almost exactly what Rasho is making this year.Nazr came over a lot cheaper
well...with Eddie Curry as your frame of reference for a center Nazr looks pretty damn good...Chicago probably WILL pay him...It may not be good news for Nazr Mohammed, but it could be for the Bulls. The Spurs' free-agent center isn't happy about falling out of the rotation after scoring 18 points in the Game 1 win over the Kings. He has played three minutes in the last three games as Robert Horry has taken over as the starting center. Figure Mohammed to jump at any reasonable Bulls offer in the off-season.

I would not be surprised one little bit to see Nazr go to Chicago.
I'd rather try and get Nocioni
That along with this insane pump and fake, pump and fake, which usually results in the ball being stripped. And his lack of fondness for DUNKING THE DAMN BALL.My biggest frustration with him comes from his inability to hang on to the ball and catch passes. If he wants more touches, he needs to touch and then hold on.
It would be awesome to pry away one of their premiere young perimeter players with a S&T, but by now Luol Deng and Andres Nocioni are worth far more than Nazr Mohammed. One will have to go eventually, but they'll get more.
I'd expect Nazr to be a Bull next year. The question is whether the Spurs let him walk or they try to get something for him. A bidding war would help. He can put up really nice stats in the right situation, and is far better than what they have right now.
The Spurs likely will replace him with a much cheaper and younger Robertas Javtokas. Scola may come, too, but not in that role.
Lovely idea
That would be a great move for Nazr.
I almost like our team with Timmy playing the 5 like what we're saying with Horry in the starting line-up. I wouldn't mind a line-up next year of...
Tony
Manu
Bowen
Scola
Duncan
I like this line on offense...but even if scola improved his rebounding, it looks like a big risk for rebounding to be a nightmare with this team. It was this year...
Default Re: Nazr to jump ship?
bye bye
I thought our new center was Robert Horry...
Don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out muchacho.
Nazr will be a free agent, so the Spurs have little control over what happens. I doubt the Spurs want to sign more than their 1st round draft pick (do the Spurs have one?) and the MLE.
Nazr has had some big games, but his butter fingers are a real liability, and he is much poorer defensively compared to Rasho OR Horry. So he is at best, a back up center, and back up centers are always replaceable. But since starting quality centers are such a gaping hole in the league, he may get someone to pay him starting center money and give him starting center minutes. But he's the least valuable C/PF on our team right now.
David's sons out of college yet? hehe
Also I remember when we had the human highlight reel on our team. Damn that was a sweet Spurs team lol
THIS is a center...
One of the NBA's true marquee players for more than a decade, Dominique Wilkins earned the nickname "Human Highlight Film" with a plethora of spectacular individual plays dating back to his college years at Georgia. A member of the NBA All-Rookie Team in 1983, the high-flying 6-8 forward was been named to seven All-NBA teams and nine consecutive All-Star squads and is a two-time winner of the NBA Slam-Dunk Championship.
In 1986 he won the NBA scoring le with an average of 30.3 points per game, and in 1992 he set an NBA record by sinking 23 free throws in a game without a miss. He's the Atlanta Hawks' all-time franchise leader in both scoring and steals.
One of only 12 players to score over 25,000 points in his NBA career, Wilkins returned to the NBA in 1996-97 after one year in Europe and led the San Antonio Spurs in scoring with an 18.2 average at the age of 37. He left the NBA ranked seventh on the all-time scoring list with 26,534 points and 10th in career scoring average at 25.3 ppg.
Nazr is no worse than last year. Most will give him some credit for helping win last year. So, why now doesn't anyone seem to care that he is planted on the bench, probably with his desire play for this team diminishing with each DNP? How can this situation possibly be good for another le run? I fail to see how running down his confidence at this point in the season can be a good thing.
Here's the thing about it. The NBA center position is so weak that I actually think Nazr might be a top 10 C. He will get a lot more than we are willing to pay, but looks like we're lowballing him with the minutes to drive his price down. Sadly, I hope this is not the truth, but I will not listen to anyone who says Rasho is more productive than Nazr.
You seriously need to learn about this new invention. It's called basketball!
WTF are you talking about? top 10 C in the league? Have you ever seen him play?
It would be nice if the Spurs could manage some sort of sign-and-trade for him since he's likely to be a fairly hot (or at least slightly greater than lukewarm) commodity.
The Spurs need all the size they can get, and it's a shame he's been here a year and a half and hasn't ever totally meshed into the Spurs' system.
