Nesterovic Possible best case scenario

[Rescueone]

Oh really? Did you write your own CBA or something? Get back to me after you've read the real one.

If you were a GM, and one of your "restricted" free agents told you that " I no longer want to play for you" What are you going to do? Huuuuh Trade his ass!

[angel_luv]

Please tell the other half of the story. What were Yao's stats.

I didn't know where to find Yao's info.

I got Rasho's stats off of one of his pics. I know where all of those are! = )

[ChumpDumper]

If you were a GM, and one of your "restricted" free agents told you that " I no longer want to play for you" What are you going to do? Huuuuh Trade his ass!

Maybe, maybe not -- one could just as easily match and trade him later on one's own terms. Or just say "shut up and play for your $90 million."

[Rescueone]

I GUARANTEE you that if Yao was on the Spurs and defered touches to Tim Duncan, that people would be shouting to trade him and whatever contract he had.

There were many times last year that Duncan stunk all game! It would have been nice to have another low post option to go to who would give you a chance at winning.

[Rescueone]

Maybe, maybe not -- one could just as easily match and trade him later on one's own terms. Or just say "shut up and play for your $90 million."

Ok... then a smart player would take that 90 milllion, give one third the effort. Wait until his last year of the contract and go all out to get a bigger contract. Then leave your team as an unrestricted free agent. REAL SMART on your part

How do you get a bigger contract than the max?

How does one dog it for 5 years without anyone noticing?

Why does Yao want to leave Houston?

Why would Yao ever dog anything?

I'm responsing to your comment " shut up and play for the 90 million" stating a comment like that as a GM would piss anyone off, and that player, whom ever he is, would be nothing but a distraction to the team, and demand a trade. Do you honestly think if Yao wanted to leave Houston anyone would stand in his way. All he has to do is say is either "I don't like this, or I don't like that! or I want to win a championship. For some players, money isn't everthing! Winning is! I don't know if Yao ever wants to leave Houston. But he's earned the right to explore his options after next year! Do you honestly think Pop would have gotten in Duncan's way if he told Pop that he wanted to leave for Orlando? It's just the way of doing business and personal feelings do play a MAJOR part in any discussions about any parting of ways.

[ChumpDumper]

Do you honestly think Pop would have gotten in Duncan's way if he told Pop that he wanted to leave for Orlando?

If he was restricted at the time, I would consider it a distinct possibility.

Do you honestly think if Yao wanted to leave Houston anyone would stand in his way.

Do you honestly think he will want to leave Houston?

All he has to do is say is either "I don't like this, or I don't like that! or I want to win a championship.

Great, then he can play for the qualifying offer for a year then go wherever wants the following year without restriction. This isn't even worth talking about until the deadline for extending his contract has passed.

You're right, talking to you is useless!

[ChumpDumper]

You're right, talking to you is useless!

When all you can say is "Yao to the Spurs for Rasho and Nazr" -- yeah, it's useless.

If you don't like it! Tuff, you can pass my comments right on by without comment. You're a dumb ass for not even seeing the possibility! Rasho Lover!

[ChumpDumper]

You're a dumb ass for not even seeing the possibility!

If he goes anywhere else, it's LA.

Rasho Lover!

I never said he was better than Yao -- just that Yao will never be a Spur.

you can pass my comments right on by without comment.

Great idea.

No you wake up and face reality! Why not? Duncan thought about leaving San Antonio. REMEMBER the trip to Orlando? So why can't the Spurs try and lure Yao from Houston? Never say never! NOTHING is set in stone in regards to NBA players. The players are always on the move from team to team. It's called free agencies. "Free to move" All a player has to do is say "they no longer want to play for X-team" and you can bet your ass that that player will be moved. If not, the team risks a cancer to the team. Name one player that said they no longer wanted to play for X-team and then stayed on that team without upsetting chemistry. Yao in San Antonio could be a possibility! It all depends on where his "loyalty" is, or if he has a "feed his kids" type at ude. If he didn't pledge his Allegience to Houston, it's a possibility for any team to sign him away from the Rockets. It's not impossible. If Shaq can move, anybody can move! PERIOD!!

Get a life and how are we going to fit in his salary? You can dream all you like but next season we are still committed to Timmy, Manu and TPark. I assume you passed your elementary maths cause way are the Spurs going to pile on a max contract. Unless you think Yao is going to sign for the anything less than that. So who are we giving up? Timmy? Manu? dont be an ass. I never said that Yao will not sign for another team. Just that it will not be for the Spurs. Shaq moved cause Miami did a trade. Would you trade Yao for Timmy? I wouldnt. Maybe a smart ass GM like yourself would do that trade.

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

There were many times last year that Duncan stunk all game! It would have been nice to have another low post option to go to who would give you a chance at winning.

And you tell me that Yao stunk in less games than Timmy? I beg to differ. I think Yao was pedestrian last season. He didnt dominate. He couldnt rebound in spite of his height.

[Dex]

And you tell me that Yao stunk in less games than Timmy? I beg to differ. I think Yao was pedestrain last season. He didnt dominate. He couldnt rebound in spite of his height.

Not to mention that when Duncan 'stunk it up', he would still manage a low double-double. When Yao's game is off, he's lucky to break 8 and 6.

Each player is going to stink from time to time! The point is, when Duncan is off, Which other low post player are the Spurs going to go to? .....no wait, I know your answer.....RASHO!.....NOT!!!!!! This is a SCENARIO... O!!!

Yes I would do a trade like Rasho + Nazr for Yao. If you wouldn't, you'd be a dumb ass. As far as the math. Rasho salary next year is upwards of 8.7 million and increases the following year. How much do you think Nazr is going to command next year? Maybe more than Rasho's salary. UUHHHHG let's see if I can get the math right ....DUUUGH 8.7million + 9 million = 17 million. You think paying two scrubs 17 million is better than paying x amount for Yao. That why I said Rasho + Nazr for Yao...My goodness. Tim Duncan "only" makes 15 million per year. If you think Yao for 10 million is just way too much for you, then I guess we know who the real ass is. If you haven't noticed.....Yao is an ALL STAR CENTER. Why would anyone want him. If it doesn't work out....oh well, it's my best Rasho scenario. What's yours and let me critique it!

Rasho salary next year is upwards of 8.7 million and increases the following year.

Not even close, junior. Just another in a long list of ignorant statements.



With championships come dumbasses.

[TexasAggie2005]

Rasho's only getting around 6 million a year. Of course this goes up, but not substantially. And if Nazr wants significantly more than that, he can go play for some sucky team elsewhere that'll overpay him.

BTW, I don't think the whole Yao thing would work anyhow. We'd be tying up too much salary and he's not worth what he'll get paid. Not in our system. The only reason he gets so many votes for the All-Star team is because he's from China. Anyone who knows anything about basketball would agree that Shaq was a better player, although Yao got more votes.

EDIT: I think that's what Rasho got last year, it's probably closer to 6.5 now.
