I like Fab, but theres no point of him coming back. Hes a waste of a roster space.
On twitter someone asked Fabri if he's coming back to the Spurs and he said "I don't know yet". That gives me hope

oberto would be a big plus on and off the court . . . if his heart is not ok, i think he'll retire.
I was never really a Fab fan, I don't really want him back.
People should know better than to place Oberto in a "Stackhouse"-like situation...
I wouldn't mind him playing a handful of minutes per night. No more than 8 though. On the condition that he agrees that the only time he is allowed on the court Manu would have to be playing as well.
Ditto...!
Has Fab even been cut yet? Perhaps I just missed it, but I never saw any kind of announcement.
So Finley is the only old guy fans don't want back??
Let's help him out:On twitter someone asked Fabri if he's coming back to the Spurs and he said "I don't know yet". That gives me hope
" just retire "
SenorSpur,
We do agree on Fab.
It's time!!!
I'm still holding onto Fin though!! LOL!!!
Well this year we got a few more roster spots open then we usually do. Since were so short on big men, why not keep him as a back up-back up? Sign him to a veterans minimum! We're gonna need a big bodied veteran at some point!
Fab is soft. He doesn't post, he doesn't defend the post, he doesn't rebound, he doesn't block shots.. You literally have to think for a moment what exactly it is that he contributes to.
His screen-roll defense is good, so is his chemistry with the team on offense. And I suppose if he only got more looks he could develop an ok-post game. But with Blair, Gist, Mahinmi, and possibly Rasheed, do we really need this?
Twitter must be lawyers' and agents' worst nightmare.
Fabricio is alot of things.
Soft is not one.
Oberto would make a damn good 12th man. You can dust him off at any point and he'd be useful.
I'd be afraid he'd take minutes away from Blair or Gist or Mahinmi.
Just like Finley would take minutes away from Hill, Hairston, Williams, or any other young guy who needs those minutes.
Doubt it. Pop already showed last year he's perfectly capable of burying Oberto on the bench.
Same goes for Bowen.
And with the moves this off season so far I think he'll do the same to Finley.
Unfairly.
We'll see. Spurs fans were telling me this last year when the Spurs re-signed him and I was saying it was a massive mistake.
I still can't believe the Spurs gave Finley $5 million after his horrible end to the 2008 season. Still makes no sense.
No thanks on Oberto.
All Oberto would do is clog up garbage time minutes during blowout wins and losses that could go to Mahinmi/Blair/Gist and stunt their development.
The Spurs need some vets on the team next year. I don't want the deep bench to be all young players who would be basically worthless if forced into playoff action. Oberto is perfect insurance plan because he won't be used unless Pop gets desperate. He's a totally different case than Finley because Pop will use Finley in any situation.
If a big goes down deep in the playoffs, having Oberto rather than Mahinmi or Gist as the 12th man would make a huge difference. No young 12th man big could come in and help at all in the playoffs. Oberto could.
While I agree that Pop is willing to put Oberto in the deepfreeze unlike Finley . . .
If the Spurs have to rely on Oberto to win a playoff game at this stage of his career, they are not winning. Furthermore, even if he could play a contributing role to a win in the playoffs, there's the extra risk that his heart will burp itself out of rhythm again and he'll be unavailable anyway. Then what will the Spurs do?
If the Spurs were to bring Fabby back, that would either mean that 1) Mahinmi isn't cutting it or is injured again, 2) the Spurs spent the majority of their MLE on a real backup PG instead of a Big, 3) Gist and players like Marcus Williams become trimmings/Toros/etc.
