    but if you are stock pilling talent what does it matter what price you are paying because you intended to trade them
    Um, yes, it does matter as the contract size undoubtedly affects the ability of a team to trade a player.

    Not every player improves. It depends on a players skill set, mental makeup and opportunity to improve. Many believed rasho would improve on the spurs. He did not.
    rasho had played in the nba alot longer then joel

    if joel was on his 8 season I would not think he would improve or even after 6-7 years

    I find it hard to believe players after 3 years in the nba now have hit their prime
    Pryzbilla's been in the league 6 years do your homework.

    Joel will never be anything more than a part time role player most effective with limited minutes.

    paying him 5 million is not bad being a 6 man if that is all you think he will be


    most 6 men get paid atleast the mle and most 6 big men get more

    Why would he improve? Because he would put on a Spurs jersey? And how much do you expect him to improve anyways?

    He's the "need" guy.

    Who are the "stockpile" guys lining up to be signed by the Spurs so they can be traded in December?

    6. Joel Przybilla, Trail Blazers
    One of his primary leverage options disappeared when the Raptors went out and traded for Rasho Nesterovic, but the Bulls and Hornets both need size and have the cap room to afford the premium they'll have to pay for a big man. Remember, nobody gets overpaid in the NBA like centers, and if Samuel Dalembert is worth $8.4 million and Tyson Chandler $9 million, Przybilla will want to be in the same league.

    That's at least what Chris Sheridan with ESPN Insider thinks, and here's what he has about Nazr:

    7. Nazr Mohammed, Spurs
    San Antonio will deem him expendable if it feels the price is too high. The Spurs believe they can get by at the position in this age of small ball by going more with Tim Duncan at center, backed up by Fabricio Oberto and the incoming Robertas Javtokas. But again, centers are at a premium when they go onto the free agent market, and Mohammed shouldn't have trouble finding a team willing to give him the five-year deal he's seeking.

    In other words, Sheridan has Przy at #6 and Nazr at #7 for the most attractive free agents. So I guess a sign-and-trade is possible to swap these players. Personally, I think Sheridan is off by a mile, but what do I know? It does appear that Nazr and Przy will want substantially more than the MLE though. But that's what makes the off-season so much fun, you never quite know what you're gonna get.

    our starting center right now is Finely

    we need someone why not a player that is cheaper than rasho and better than rasho and nazr combined

    I would even sign Cato(played with yao with rockets) because he woudl be a better starter then finely right now as our center!
    Who's Finely? And I hope you aren't confusing the SG/SF Finley for a C.

    what that statement is saying is we have no starting center and if tim is our center we have no starting power forward. it is also a refernce to small ball when we had no center because tim played center but doesn't liek to be called a center so finely was our center!

    this is the big men CURRENTLY signed
    cannot sign till july 12
    horry old worn out needs limited mins.
    oberto soem call him a scrub. I think he played good defense on dirk
    tim duncan

    so unless we sign someone

    we have no cetner or no power forward

    so either loko forward to 4 on 5 or us having to get somone

    What does four years from now have to do with anything? For starters, Joel is only 27 so four years from now he will only be 31 - the same age as Duncan. And in four years from now will Ginobili be a $10.7 million/year player? Will Duncan be a 22.1 million/year player?

    For a solid starting center in the NBA a salary of $5 million/year is NOT overpaying a guy. The Spurs would be thrilled to get a guy on their roster of his quality for that kind of money. The only problem is that other teams might be willing to overpay for him. Other teams might throw Rasho money at him (7-8 million/year) and that really is too much.
