ESPN.com: Spurs talking S&T with Portland, Rasho for Abdur-Rahim

[Marcus Bryant]

Estimated 4/5 rotation minutes breakdown for next season:

35 Duncan
25 Mohammed
15 Horry
21 ?

Also, Horry's going to be around for perhaps 2 more seasons. SAR would give the Spurs someone to take up a lot of minutes in the rotation during the regular season.

Scola gettin a rebound or 2? are you that stupid?

its a figure of speech... take it easy... ok?

manu averaged 16pts his rookie year right?

all i said was if you get sar... you dont need scola. i would rather them use rasho or nazr to go after "the small forward of the future" -- but it doesnt seem to be out there.

having a guy like sar on the team would be more valuable than scola right now. tim's ankles go out on him for a week or 2... sar can score 20 in the nba... you dont know what scola can do. or do you?

so if its on the table... take it.

For a rotation with SAR I could see the following.

Starting

Nazr
Duncan
Bowen
Gino
Parker

First quarter:

Then Sar and Barry come in to spell Nazr and Gino.

Duncan rotates to center.

Horry and Nazr come in for Duncan and SAR.


For ending the game it will all be about matchups. Sometimes SAR and Duncan, sometimes Duncan and Horry. They can go big, small, or something inbetween. Think Duncan, SAR, Horry, Gino, and Parker/Barry. Now THAT is spreading the floor.

[Marcus Bryant]

He'd give the Spurs one more option and I could see him replacing Horry as the primary big off the bench sometime next season or the season thereafter. He'd get plenty of PT.

From the Spurs' perspective, you get a great scoring 4 to play alongside TD and the incremental cost over Rasho wouldn't be that great. At 28, he has at least 4 more seasons of playing at a high level, in my opinion.

Scola gettin a rebound or 2? are you that stupid?


this guy is going to be a beast in the NBA

someone averages 20+pts 10+rbs in the olympics and eurol league and you dont think he can average 15pts 7rbs in trh NBA?


SCOLA will help bring 3-4 more les

Um...if Scola had averaged 20 and 10 anywhere I'd be highly impressed...he hasn't, which means you don't know what the you are talking about.

Retire and get your back fixed.

[ace3g]

he may not be a 20 and 10 guy but he is definitely a 15-20 pt/ 6.2 rebound type guy, and those numbers are great

[ace3g]

Link to 2004-2005 Euroleague Stats

[T Park]

6.2 rebound type guy

sorry a 6'8 6'9

POWER forward

should average more than 6 rebounds a game.

It should be 8 or 9.

There is a reason RC Buford critiqued him so.

[Solid D]

Scola could rebound better but they play 40 min. games, not 48 min. games. Points and rebounds averages are lower than NBA averages for top players.

[ace3g]

yeah that is another reason , good point solid D

[ducks]

he may not be a 20 and 10 guy but he is definitely a 15-20 pt/ 6.2 rebound type guy, and those numbers are great

I will be happy if he puts up 10 and 8 on this team

I do not see how he could average 20 with the spurs
maybe with gs

[Karl Mundt]

Averaging 16.8 points and 6.4 rebounds is very good in the Euroleague for a team that reached the Final Four. He only played about 28 minutes on average and rebounding and assist statistics are counted somewhat differently in the NBA and the Euroleague i think. How excactly i don't know, but you won't see many players averaging 8-9 rebounds or 5-6 assists in the Euroleague. I dare anyone to find a player who did that last season in the Euroleague.
