Plus the most overrated coach in Europe
him and bertrans, dunno what sort of deal they going to get by coming here,
but:
- is it better to pay them that money or resign whatever our bigs are?
- or better to trade them to move up in the draft?
- or trade for whatever already developed big in the league aka hansborough, pekovic? since it looks like it will costs us nearly MLE to bring them 2 over, when mle can probably get us something that could help the team?
His last games:
vs Bilbao: 15 & 3
vs Gran Canaria: 20 & 8
vs Cajasol: 12
I am going to be pissed if we don't sign this guy this summer!
RC and Pop don't it up like you did with Scola!

Another team targeting Lorbek
http://www.sportando.net/eng/italy/s...em-lorbek.htmlAnother Euroleague team, Olimpia Milano, is going to try and sign Lorbek when his contract expires. Apparently he really likes playing overseas in Spain but he’s not making enough money. Will Milano be able to put up enough cash to satisfy the big man?
This is terrible news for the Spurs who need size and have made it know they would like for him to join San Antonio. The team definitely could use the help inside and Lorbek’s size would be a great asset. The 6’10” Slovenian is 29 and has a lot of experience. He’s definitely NBA ready and could really help the Spurs, but it may be harder to get him if he’s being enticed by another team.

That would be our luck.
I guess we should just accept another year of Bonner and Blair.
Of course another team is targeting Lorbek, he is considered one of best big men in Europe and is not under contract. Spurs fans would be foolish if they thought the only team pursuing Lorbek were just the spurs. The spurs I believe know how bad a quality big is needed and for the price it will cost should be a steal for the spurs. I have faith in the spurs that Lorbek will be a spur next season...
Indeed. This really isn't anything surprising. Teams from all over Europe will be pining for his services.
It's all on Lorbek now. He's already said that since the Spurs now own his rights he is reconsidering his long held stance about not coming to the NBA. The Spurs will probably offer him something in the range of what they offered Splitter and that should be enough. I think at the end of the day it will be less about who offered more and more about his desire to truly want to play here.
I'm not surprised other teams are interested. A guy like this will be in demand.
It just sucks we'll probably lose out on him. Nothing new here.
Well, it's a one month old rumor that has already been discussed in this thread but Lorbek will interest a lot of teams in Europe. It's obvious and logical.
Italy is going to have to pretty much follow Spain as far as taxes so who knows?
I could see a Russian team having enough $$ to sign him but does he want to play for the motherland or U.S?
He`s not russian , lol
15 & 5 tonight in Euroleague top 8 against Unics Kazan.
Spanoulis is Greek. He can't play in the NBA. Lorbek can.
22 & 6 against Valladolid.
Don't care about Spanoulis cause he's not owned by the Spurs, and Span already showed us all that he can't play in the NBA. Good for him that he is a good baller in Europe.
Barca is the first team to qualify for the final 4.
(sweept the series vs. Unics Kazan)
Lorbek was very quiet in last nights win. didn't matter, Navarro had a big night, this was enough to finish off Unics.
Sounds like Pop is ready to bring over Lorbek
Paul Garcia PS @24writer
Close
"I think Kawhi Leonard, and our big kid in Europe will help us. For basketball reasons we did it (trade)" Coach Pop on George Hill trade
I hope they can convince him to come over.
Nice find. Hopefully they go hard after him this summer.
Just thinking about that, hopefully he was talking about Lorbek and not Ryan Richards
That's more likely than Richards...but if he was talking about the trade itself it's hard to think that he's not referencing Lorbek.
yes, but I guess we are all confused about the wording "big kid" for a 28 years old Lorbek, who looks like a 40 years old accountant.
That's more likely than Richards...but if he was talking about the trade itself it's hard to think that he's not referencing Lorbek.
"The team was in shock when I did (the trade)," Popovich said before his Spurs faced the Pacers at the AT&T Center. "It was good both ways. He'll really help Indiana, and I think Kawhi and our big kid (Erazem Lorbek) will help us. For basketball reasons we did it."
