Looks like it. Pretty average PF/C rotation though.
I'd sign him up for certain. Hes a valuable big body that already knows the rotation.

Well, Real Madrid isn't exactly a powerhouse in ACB.
LLE for 1.8 I'm 100% down for it.
Rasho hated playing for Pop even when he was overpaid, so it's not terribly likely he'd show up again for absolute minimum.
I wonder if Pop and RC are actually looking at the possibility of bringing in Rasho?
I wish one of us knew RC personally so we could know everything, haha.
Yes, but i thought they were looking to make some noise next year.
He did? Why do you think that?
There was some discussion when he was here about how frustrated he was by Pop not playing him or for benching him for no reason. People said that he really complained about it when he wasn't with the team. That's probably how he managed not to be a disruption.
Oh I see.
I wouldent mind having him on Spurs if it was a small contract like 1 year. I would much rather have Rasheed Wallace or Antonio Mcdyess.
If he did come back who would keep jersey number 8... Mason or Nesterovic...
Real is one of several teams that has made an offer to Rudy Fernandez.
Mason, Rasho would probably go with 12.
12? That's a joke, right?
If I remember right Rasho wasn't a major factor in the rotation for 6 straight playoff series under Pop.
Why bring him back to extend the streak?
Radoslav as your starting center at $8 mil per season is undesirable. At $2 mil per off the bench is not bad. He knows how to make defensive rotations. While the NBA is tending towards more mobile bigs, there is always the need to be able to match up against conventional 5s. All the nonsense about Radoslav not being liked in the locker room or having a grudge against Pop and what not is just that.
I love Rasho, bring him back.

The Toronto Raptors have come to an agreement in principle on a one-year contract with free-agent center Rasho Nesterovic, a source close to the process told ESPN.com
The deal is worth $1.9 million according to the source. The Raptors will use what is termed their bi-annual exception to sign Nesterovic.
The 33-year-old center played for the Raptors from 2006-2008 before being traded to the Pacers last season in the Jermaine O'Neal trade. Nesterovic helps shore up the Raptors in the middle and he's expected to come off the bench behind Andrea Bargnani.

Glad I am not a Raptors fan
Interesting. I wonder if the Spurs offered him a minimum deal.

Saw Rasho, 20min ago. Great teammate!
After factoring in the lux tax, I'd rather have Ratliff for ~$1.6 million than Rasho for ~$3.8 million. Good luck to Rasho. Hopefully he beats out Bargnani for minutes again.
Good point, I had forgotten the vet min is not subject to the tax unlike the LLE and MLE.
Agree. Ratliff is a better deal. Hopefully Mahinmi gets minutes and plays well.
