What a shock.
Artest makes like 6.9M dude, Rasho alone I think makes more than that. Why can't you grasp that adding more players doesn't work?
What a shock.
maybe nazr could wear some gloves like brady does...
And those clubs would take our problems off our hands and make us stronger because.....????
Just to throw another name out there - how about Steven Hunter? Wait, don't laugh just yet. He might be a "project" type player. And I don't think he's doing so well in Philly. But he actually did pretty well there as a starter while Dalembert was out. He also gave the Spurs trouble when he was with the Suns last season. I remember Nazr on the floor holding Hunter's ankles down so he wouldn't rebound. He's young, athletic and is a legitimate 7 footer. Might develop into a good rebounder. His contract is cheap (starting at $2.8mil) but the downside is he's in the first year of a five year deal.
Who would Philly want from the Spurs in return?
I don't think that Philly is ready to give up on him.
I would take Stephen Hunter though. He was the best on D against Duncan in the Western Finals.
Then D'Antoni would sit on his own head and put Stoudamire back on him.
Spurs need an athletic big man to match up against Detroit's athletic freasks...
no reggie is not signed. FU most people. no trades should be in made. This is a le team. most of you really are re ed.
Reggie Evans is just a name to put to an idea. I suspect that there are other non-star type guys out there who could do the things that the Spurs need.
Stephen Hunter is an intriguing name, mostly because he brings an element of shot-blocking and super-athleticism for a 7-footer. But I don't know if Hunter is strong enough to stand in with physical bigs and wonder about his willingness to freelance and defeat the defensive scheme.
I like Hunter. He's really no more of a project than Rasho or Nazr.
I've really got no idea who the Spurs could be looking at at this point.
Well, if the Denver newspaper reported it, good chance it might have been someone from the Nuggets?
Hunter's fine, but I think his is the best contract the Sixers have inked in past ten years. Even if he doesn't get eny better he['s worth keeping.True. If the Nuggets had any health at all, Barry for Najera might seem doable.
Of course, they could really use Nazr right now.
Najera fits the mold as well -- in fact, he might be the most realistic option and the best fit at this point for numerous reasons. And the Nuggets, who need to find somebody who can hit a jump shot from distance, might be willing to take what the Spurs have.
I hear rumors than Kenyon Martin is on the block. I hope if the Spurs are talking with Denver that they DO NOT make a run at this pussy.
"Ain't nobody think we could get no win but us."
I could see why Denver would want to deal Martin. I don't know that the Spurs would want him, or that the Spurs have enough to get him, mostly because I'm not sure that he would be a compliment to a good big guy. I suspect that we saw the best of Kenyon Martin when he played with a running point who could feed him on the break. He's an uber-athletic, but somewhat undersized big who lacks any sort of consistent range on his jump shot and struggles with the post-up game against bigger, stronger posts. When he can get out and run and get dunks in transi ion, those problems are less evident, I think.I hear rumors than Kenyon Martin is on the block.

"Ain't nobody think we could get no win but us."
It does seem, however, that the Denver and Seattle situations are starting to become percolating cauldrons of discontent as those teams suffer through fall-back seasons. If the Spurs are to find a big guy, perhaps they can capitalize on the problems in one of those places.
Bowen's 35 and still improving his game, but a 28 year old Nazr Mohammed is screwed8th year in the NBA, Nazr is what he is.
5 or 6 weeks of more PT isn't going to change him.
Why does anyone want Evans? When Hill took over as coach he moved Radmanovic into the starting lineup and Evans' response was to go to a funeral and not call coach for 4 days.
Yeah, that sounds like a model citizen for this franchise
Me and aggie disagree alot, but hes spot on.Bowen's 35 and still improving his game, but a 28 year old Nazr Mohammed is screwed
Its January, he missed all of October and most of November.
In reality hes prob still in mid to late November early december mode.
I agree more PT should be given to Nazr to see if he has it.
A trade of Barry for Najera would be so great, RC should get GM of the year, if he pulled that off.
He didn't miss any of November at all. He even played in 3 preseason games in October. Basically he missed about 10 days, right?
Anyway, I agree that he should be given a chance against certain teams. But missing a couple weeks of training camp/preseason isn't an excuse for not knowing where to go on D at this point.

When youve played for teams like the Hawks and Knicks, you gotta beat it out of em.
Just like Van Exel and Finley.
It takes a while.
Comparing the improvement of Bowen to Nazr's potential for improvement doesn't seem like a good comparison to me.
Bowen already has fundamental defense down, Nazr does not. Bowen is improving on complimentary, "extra" pieces to his game, whereas Nazr lacks everything except the most rudimentary aspects of basic defense. Big difference.
That being said, I don't see why it has to be one or the other- why not both? Start Rasho most of the time since he is the better defender, but against smaller, more athletic front courts like Detroit, play Nazr. It seems to me that it is to the Spurs' advantage to have both available, since there seems to be nothing on the market that can satisfy not only the Spurs' needs for an athletic big man, but also that doesnt break any salary cap rules.
No, he's up at the end of this season.
Here's another name for the hopper - how about Tyson Chandler. I know it would be a long shot, but perhaps the Spurs could package Nazr and a couple of other players to Chicago for Chandler. Despite he offensive flaws, he would be the perfect answer for the athletic, defensive player at the 5 spot.
Chandler's name has come up a few times in "official" rumors has being on the Spurs radar. He just signed a new contract, though, and I can't imagine that the Spurs have anything that the Bulls really want.
Hmmm.....
