I bet you've only seen him play twice.

I like Nocioni more when he play as a PF. He could work good in Spurs if Duncan would be ok with play with a small PF.

[raspsa]

He'll bring more toughness and passion to the Spurs, two things that you can never have enough of.

[TheSpursFNRule]

He would work great with the spurs if they played him at PF. Is there any realistic chance of this happening though?

[Typhoon]

Nocioni and KG together? the level of intensity would be off the mother ing charts.

[afireinside20]

Any way we can get Nocioni and Chandler?

[Deimosfobos]

Noc would be great for ths Spurs... but he is overpaid.

where does it say the Kings are shopping him? and how big is his contract?

This year I believe he's making $8.000.000, not sure about the rest of his contract.

Parker
Mason
Nocioni
Duncan
Bonner

Manu 6th man

They weren't exactly shopping him (if they accepted to eat his contract was because they like something about him), but there were conversations between them and the Celtics.

Chad Ford: (12:09 PM ET ) We keep hearing all morning that the Celtics were talking to the Kings about a deal for Nocioni. The Kings can move him again as long as they don't package him with other players on their roster. The Celtics would send back Scalabrine, Tony Allen, Glen Davis and Patrick O'Bryant. However, a Celtics source says there's nothing happening there. A Kings source, however, says it would be a possibility. I wonder why the Celtics WOULDN'T do that. Nocioni would be a great piece for them.
UPDATE: Chad Ford: Celtics insist they aren't trading for Nocioni. Interesting because i think the Kings would do the deal.

As far as I know, the negotiations were never serious because the Kings asked for Powe to start the conversations and including him was a no-go to Boston.

I like El Chapu, but his contract is almost toxic. Too much money left to be paid in the next 3 years for a player of his caliber.

Why does it matter now? You can't trade for players anymore, at least until the Summer.

thank you. Nocioni would be a good upgrade at small foward and you could use him at power foward. this is something I think the spurs should really think about.

Nocioni would be a good fit on the Spurs and shore up some of our weaknesses like rebounding and size at the SF....plus I think having he, Manu and Oberto all on the same team would have a ulative impact, improving all 3 of their games and giving us possibly the best bench in the NBA due to their experience playing together. Manu and Oberto have gotten us some cheap big points together at times in the post season because of their familiarity with one another...Nocioni would only help that aspect of the team chemistry.

He'd be a nice pickup...


And I agree with those that say he can play a lot better than he has in Chicago. He couldn't get that much consistent PT in Chicago and his game suffered for it.
