Let's see- Nazr's brains and Nazr's hands with Rasho's rebounding.And without Rasho's shot blocking or defense.
Said all summer- Oberto will start. Should have marked that post when I first predicted it.

All that equals zero minutes in the playoffs for millions less than Nazr and Rasho.Let's see- Nazr's brains and Nazr's hands with Rasho's rebounding.
Nugget fan comes in and says the guy is a pretty good player,
guess that guy doesn't know about basketball.
If I recall, the Spurs did play someone else besides Dallas.All that equals zero minutes in the playoffs for millions less than Nazr and Rasho.
Sorry, I don't see your point, as I assume you know I'm aware of that. Does it matter to you somehow that the Spurs lost in the second round instead of the first? This team is way beyond moral victories. Seriously, maybe I don't understand what you mean.
Yeah Nazr and Rasho were more than pathetic vs Sacramento too.Spurs did play someone else besides Dallas.
Whats your point.
Whos available they should get?
Everyone es about who the Spurs go after, but never give names of who to get.
Hey, it looks like the Nuggets might matchFor Kroenke, luxury tax looms
By Chris Tomasson, Rocky Mountain News
July 14, 2006
Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke plays it coy when asked about his willingness to pay the luxury tax. But some additional clues about his thinking might surface in the next week.
The Nuggets are expected to receive a two-year, $6 million offer sheet from the San Antonio Spurs on restricted free agent center Francisco Elson. They would have seven days to match.
The Nuggets did not report Thursday an offer sheet as having arrived.
"They should have it by (today)," Elson's agent, Calvin Andrews, said.
Kroenke said "we'll have to see" about paying the tax. When Nene signs a six-year, $60 million deal next week as expected, the Nuggets will have 10 players with guaranteed contracts next season totaling $59 million.
The luxury tax is $65.4 million.
The Nuggets already have taken a pass on free agent guard Greg Buckner, who signed a deal Thursday with the Dallas Mavericks that could be worth as much as $19 million over five years.
Nuggets coach George Karl said Wednesday that Elson's offer sheet would be a "dangerous number" to match. Nuggets director of player personnel Mark Warkentien would not speculate Thursday because he had not seen an offer sheet.
The Nuggets could clear payroll during the seven-day window. It is possible disgruntled forward Kenyon Martin could be traded.
"It they do lose Kenyon, that might change Francisco's value," Andrews said.
Elson hopes the Nuggets don't match.
"My concern right now is that, hopefully, (my future) is with the Spurs," Elson told the San Antonio Express- News. "Shoot, anyone would like to play for the Spurs."
The Nuggets also must decide what do with free agent forward Reggie Evans.
Asked about his situation, Evans said, "I don't even know."
At least the Nuggets got a bit more wiggle room when the luxury tax came in higher than the $64 million figure many projected.
"It's good," Kroenke said. "It gives you more flexibility."
Unless they found dome dumbass to take KMart, no match.
If the Knicks take KMart.
Could that result in a wonderfull scenario for TIMVP
in that the Spurs get Butler, but don't get Elson????
Anything to quiet the ing around here...
Elson update
Warkentien said the Nuggets will evaluate the two-year, $6 million offer sheet San Antonio made to restricted free-agent center Francisco Elson.
Elson signed it Wednesday, though because of delays in transmitting the contract to Denver, the Nuggets' seven-day period to match did not begin until Thursday.
"We'll make a decision on day six or seven," Warkentien said.
Elson's agent, Calvin Andrews, said he did not know whether the Nuggets would match, though Karl spoke pessimistically about that prospect Wednesday. Elson also sounded prepared to join another team.
"Obviously I expect to get a lot of minutes," he said Wednesday. "The time that I spent here and the experience that I got from here, hopefully, it carries over to the next team that I'm going to."

Bring it on! I'm all for Butler and Elson duking it out for the job. That should mean that we get the best from both of them until a starter is determined.
Nuggets will match if Reggie Evans doesn't back off his demands of wanting the MLE.
Elson isn't as good of a rebounder, but the Nuggets will be thin up front if Kenyon is traded and Evans bolts.
I can only hope they match.
tell me again why we hate Elson so much. Who would we rather have for that price? No other center is going off the board for that little and that short of a time length.
Javtokas.Who would we rather have for that price?
obviously he isn't or else we would have him, don't you think.
isn't what?
What i am saying is that we couldn't sign him for that price or that short of contract. I am assuming the spurs offered him roughly half the mle and he turned it down.
I don't believe we offered him a contract at all. There are conflicting reports. From what I understand, Elson's contract would have been well enough to land Javtokas. The RJ camp was expecting something similar, but the Spurs called him up in the morning of the 12th and told him they were going in another direction instead. They were stunned and are probably still stunned. I'm stunned.
Maybe so. I thought I read on ESPN that Javtokas was dissapointed with what the spurs offered and that is why decided to head to greece.
It may never be clear, but everything seems to be pointing to the Spurs simply wanting Elson over him.
My issue with javtokas is that he has no experience in the nba. Last year at this time many were saying that oberto was going to start along side duncan or at least get big minutes off the bench. He didn't even average double digit minutes with two guys we weren't even sold on in front of him. I have a very hard time picturing Javtokas doing a whole lot more.
And if that is the case, I trust them over my own thoughts. The spurs have had first hand opportunities to see all these guys and they know what they can get out of them. Maybe there are medical concerns they still have with Javtokas. Who knows, but I am assuming they know better than I do.
I hope you're right, benjirh. In my mind they made an awful choice for the wrong reasons. Elson, as timvp has demonstrated statistically, is at times worse than nothing.
