i know, right? do people not realize that this guy is a career 20 and 8 player?! how many players in the league can claim that? if this trade is possible, the spurs need to pull the trigger on this .
you gotta stop looking at stats. those stats have gotten SAR's ass traded more times than i care to remember. there has to be a reason.
Pop loves Rasho 1st of all. I still don't think he will let him go unless there is an upgrade at Center available. You are not supposed to trade down in size...granted that Rasho plays like malik without the heart, but i digress.
SAR was traded twice. The 1st one, Memphis got their starting frontcourt out of it, P. Gasol and L. Wright. The 2nd time, Atlanta was just looking to clear cap space and got rid of Ratliff and SAR for Rasheed. Those are the reasons. It's not as if he's a Chris Gatling.you gotta stop looking at stats. those stats have gotten SAR's ass traded more times than i care to remember. there has to be a reason.
Pop already got his upgrade in Nazr.I still don't think he will let him go unless there is an upgrade at Center available.
Now the focus is long three/athletic four.
The Mo Pete scenario is very interested.
He is a good defender, and works hard at both ends of the floor, good finisher on the break, decent 3 pt shooter, but his handles are suspect, and he can't create at all. Capable of flashes of brilliance, but who then retreat to a hole on offense.
Come to think of it, sounds like a good Bowen replacement.
What is so pipe about that? Rasho has had more value than Darius the past few seasons. Miles hasn't really improved much, if it all as a player since his rookie season.
Not saying he doesn't have some potential if put in the right system, but it is highly doubtful he becomes an All-Star player. But I do think he could help the Spurs a lot.
Too bad we can't trade Rasho for Scola and eliminate the buyout. Someone should pe ion Stern to allow international trades. Can't you just hear Pop? "You shoot that three off a fast break one more time, and I'm sending your ass to Israel. You wanna play for Macabi, mother er? How about the Russian "superleague". I hear Moscow is really nice in February."POP is Fishing in Argentina
I have been saying for a couple of months that Rasho will be traded to NJ. I was adding NY to that possibility also.
Both NJ and NY need a quality veteran center, the Spurs need a backup PF, if Scola can not be acquired from Europe. or a backup swingman. I am thinking either Jefferson or Antoine Wright(I pray for this) I was thinking about Sweetney from NY, but with the Knicks trading away Kurt Thomas, the Sweetney trade is probably out.
I want Antoine!!!
You are right our Spurs got Nazr, but he has not re-signed. i don't think the Spurs would want to be put over a barrel by shipping Rasho off before then.
and SAR is a 4 who plays soft D? why not just resign big dog for cheap.
hey Tlong, how did SAR do vs. Shaq, Amare, and the Wallace bros?
Thanks in advance.
you're joking right? the point is players have to improve season to season not get worse
Yeah, he was overpaid.there has to be a reason.
Rasho for Malik Rose!!!!
In essence, it would have gone down as a trade of Rasho for Nazr then?Rasho for Malik Rose!!!!
Not too bad.

Rasho for Eddie Robinson and one of either Luol Deng or Andres Nocioni
How ing re ed does this thread look now??

No one's saying they won't trade him. Just me personally, I think talks of say, a SAR trade, are setting the bar too low.
Why does every player the Spurs get or "have to have" on their team is a "good guy." Wouldn't it be nice to add an edgy baller with some spunk in his step. Are the Spurs "small market" because they shut out these types of players? We are the 10th largest city in America, Our team should reflect that. However we don't need the thugs, They can stay in Indy and Detroit. Less we forget what happened to D Robinson when K Malone elbowed him to the head, and no one came to his Defense. Everyone on the "good guy" Spurs
had their jaws on the floor and were SCARED to confront Malone. An edgy player would have at least shown some backbone and got it his face. Not his hands on his face saying "OH MY GOD" over and over (ie Tim Duncan!). If they can get this guy, get him, and leave his at ude alone. The Spurs could use a little at ude. They are the Champs, and teams are gunning for them.
Rasho or Nazr to Memphis for Battier or Posey???
that is one of the very possible trades out there for rasho or nazr.
Memphis; Atlanta are the best suitors for the spurs to make a trade with
Nazr would be more attractive to other teams for the same reason he was attractive to the Spurs - an expiring contract. I don't know if the Spurs want to give that flexibility away or not.
People. we aren't getting jack shyt for Rasho. we might get an all star for him if we package Duncan or Manu.
The reason I bumped the thread post was to show that it was off base.
In the Express news it came out flat and said Atlanta has no interest and Stein speculates that we might cut the guy, ie pay him to go away for nothing in return
Height is a premium. Rasho, having an off year, is still a serviceable big man.
Stein speculation = Sam Smith trade rumor = Chad Ford spelling error
Unless its a no brainer, Spurs will hold off till February trade deadline.
Yes you guys know better than Stein or Express news. Rasho is a good big man, with a decent contract because you guys say so...
