I doubt any trade will take place before the new CBA is in place.
With a full training camp with Tim, Nazr is the future center. Rasho ends up being a stop-gap measure post-DRob era. Mgmt will dump Rasho's contract to some team needing a competent center -- and there are PLENTY out there -- before he gets too old.
Got to give Spurs Mgmt props for their farsightedness. I think they traded Malik knowing that if Nazr worked out they'd trade Rasho. Thanks, Isiah (Thomas). LMAO
Question is, will Rasho be traded in the offseason or will the Spurs wait till the 2006 trading deadline -- assuming there is a 2006 -- to see which team gives us the best deal.

Rasho for Shawn Marion? Man that would be awesome.
I really don't get the feeling they are going to trade rasho. he makes a great back up, and he knows the system inside and out.
I bet we will be singing his praises in the finals when he plays agains the bigs from the east. He will come up big in the finals.
Don't be so hasty. I know it's fashionable to dump on Rasho, and Mohammed has been huge for us in the playoffs so far. BUT I suspect the reason Rasho didn't play vs. Phoenix has more to do with the matchups and his lack of foot speed (e..g. getting back in transition) than anything else. He'll play against either Miami or Detroit, and don't be surprised if he comes up with some nice defensive plays/board work.
I know it pains the Spurs fans to admit this, but Nesterovic is a perfectly serviceable center for this ballclub. Not saying he should start over Mohammed, but who's to say he can't come off the bench next year, especially if Horry retires? You can't teach big, as they say, and decent 7 footers aren't in high supply. Sure, if somebody takes his contract, you might move him for other parts, but is there another Zeke Thomas out there?
Bottom line is, people need to get off the Rasho sucks/Nazr is the best line.
When the Admiral left, it created a huge void in the middle, and it probably takes TWO to fill it.
I agree Rasho makes a capable backup but I don't think the Spurs can afford his salary as backup. When Parker's contract kicks in next year and we use our MLE to get Scola or others, plus trying to extend Nazr.... I don't think Holt is going to pony up for the kind of payroll that will put us in lux tax territory.
Thanks Ghost.....I couldn't have said it better. Many will be surprised (or pissed off) to see Rasho remain in San Antonio for the entire 05-06 season....I don't think the Spurs have ANY INTENTION of trading him....You are an eloquent writer and there is nothing left to say....Rasho "ain't" goin' nowhere....

Rasho is staying put as long as the Shaq is in this league. Nazr is much too prone to foul trouble for the Spurs to not want to keep a top notch back up around.
There is something to be said about not allowing Rasho to go elsewhere, into enemy hands so to speak.
I like Rasho and he gets bagged on WAY too much. But other clubs will probably see his value since there is such a shortage of big men and the Spurs might get an offer they can't refuse.

even though Rasho is a great backup center, the Spurs cant afford to pay a backup center 7M a year. Rasho will be traded.
prove his worth in the finals, he must.
when over the season is, clear will all things be...
but no doubt, lack balls, rasho does.
I told you all last night, it's only a matter of time until the trade Rasho for a dozen Krispy Kreme threads pop up.
I agree, that creates a problem on the salary expectations of Nazr, as well. Let's not write Rasho off yet, his ankle may be hurting him more than the Spurs let on.
Need I say more?*counting the minutes until RashoFan and Angel Luv unleash fury upon this thread*
Okay, I will...
Sami, I hope you didn't have to count higher than ten minutes...would hate for you to have had to take your shoes off.
I don't know which bugs me more Mannny, this thread or that you were right,
LOL!
All I can really say,is that Pop,and the rest of the suits have proven to make the right moves.So whatever they decide,will be the right decision.><>
*note to self....no longer have Angel_luv's back in pro-Rasho arguments*Sami, I hope you didn't have to count higher than ten minutes...would hate for you to have had to take your shoes off.
I do see the Spurs trying to trade Rasho in the offseason for either a long agile center or PF such as Tyson Chandler either that or a long SF.
And that is the sad part.....
We will see how wallace will eat Nazr alive....
Rasho is going to kill me. You are the second fan I have cost him this week.*note to self....no longer have Angel_luv's back in pro-Rasho arguments*
My apologies oh gracious one. Great shoes! Great feet!
As a Spurs fan...you don't want this.We will see how wallace will eat Nazr alive....
Its ok Angel...I am still Rasho's fan as well as yours.
I can't believe that people are discussing trades - WE JUST WON THE WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS!!! Can we at least get the trophy before we start selling off the TEAM who got us here?!
Nice !!! I'm pretty sure you are hoping for this to happen....
RASHO IS A PUSSY... DEAL WITH IT !!!!
