Reply With QuoteMaybe if Slovenians spoke Russian.Since Nesterovic is from Slovenia, can Popovich speak to him in his native tongue? Seriously. I remember reading that Popovich was fluent in Russian.
Good one, Marcus.
We need F7 or genghis to PhotoShop that pic so that Gary Coleman and Kevin Willis are in the picture together. That would be classic!!

Of course, now that I think about it if he shoots 64% from the FT line, I think I'm happier with him shooting from outside anyway...

Rasho is 7'0 and 248. A good body for an NBA center, but his softness is a concern. For a bigman in the West, you can't afford to be soft, but that will be worked on. Rasho can shoot the mid-range jumper and can hopefully average more than his 5.40 boards for his career.
I'm not overly excited with the move, but I can understand it.
He fills a hole which needed filling. Defensively he is a worry because of strength, but his quickness will help him in transition. He has a very tough job in replacing David, but he is a decent role player offensively.
Zo, with questionable health, PJ Brown, Miller and Kandi were all names out there, who have gone at relatively high prices. We got Rasho at a good price, considering the Wolves offered him more.
Okay, I'm being optimistic, but Rasho's game will hopefully fit in.
Also, now that we know that we won't go away empty handed from the offseason, we have some cash left over to play with...Hm..
Great..I am trying to learn to like Rasho, but I found a disturbing stat.
He averaged 1.2 free throw attempts per game. One point two. That is pretty pathetic.
To put it in perspective, Steve Smith averaged 1.9. The only Spur who played significant minutes last season who averaged less was Bowen, who averaged 1.1.
That is damn scary for a center.
But seriously, if we pick up Brand or Odom, than Rasho is a good fit and a decent signing, and actually a bargin compared to other similar skilled centers, but i think a little overpaid for how good he actually is. That may seem contradictory, but Centers are generally overpaid, and we probably got Nesto for a lil under his market value, but he is still overpaid for what he bring IMO.
If its just Nesto and some other role players, than the offseason is a bust. If its Nesto and Brand or Odom, then all is well.
baseline bum, please let us know what centers that were available could hold Shaq in check. Better yet, please name a single center that can hold Shaq in check.
Nesterovic is a face-up, finesse jump shooting center. That's why he doesn't get to the line a lot.
The only way he'll average a double-double is if he plays 35-40 MPG.
