Question about Nazr

[milkyway21]

why? is Nazr being shopped?

Quote:




Herald columnist Mike McGraw doubts the size-challenged Bulls have a chance at acquiring expensive Milwaukee big man Dan Gadzuric. Instead, he thinks currently injured Indiana center Jeff Foster, Portland's Joel Przybilla or San Antonio's Nazr Mohammed are all better bets.

then;

Mohammed to test market: This might be the first of a season-long series of stories. San Antonio backup center Nazr Mohammed, a Chicago native, will be a free agent next summer and the Bulls obviously need more big men.

Asked about the possibility of returning home, Mohammed pointed out that first he wants to win another championship with the Spurs. San Antonio does have Tim Duncan, Rasho Nesterovic and Fabricio Obertro already under contract, so their desire to keep Mohammed remains to be seen.

“First and foremost, I want to stay here in San Antonio,” Mohammed said. “At the same time, I want to go out there and see what’s my market value and take it from there.”

The 6-foot-10 Mohammed, 28, probably is best suited to being a backup player. He has averaged 7.3 points and 5.7 rebounds for four different teams.

so Herald's column on Nazr had some basis after all

I'd hate to lose Nazr, i hope if the Spurs wants to part ways with him at least he could hold into his spot (starting or backup), until the trading deadline after the All-Star game. Oberto might be ready to take over on that time.

Actually, Rasho's jump shot looks good this season.
