Well a Rasho for SARS S&T won't help our cap situation as that implies their contracts will be similar.
I like this. You get Abdur-Rahim for a guy who didn't factor into your le run and whose long term future was quite uncertain in SA.From Chad Ford on ESPN.com:
Kevin (New Jersey): Hey Chad, how big are the chances of Shareef Abdur Rahim running alongside J Kidd, Vince, and RJ in a Nets uniform next season?
Chad Ford: (1:18 PM ET ) They are praying. He'd be a great fit there and both Shareef and the Nets know it. The problem is that several other teams like the Spurs are talking sign-and-trade with the Blazers. That allows them to pay more money. The Blazers are trying to work out a Rasho Nesterovic for Abdur-Rahim swap.

Actually, it will, at least for this summer. If the Spurs did such a S&T then they would still have their MLE to use on other players (ie Scola).
I like this more with horry still as a spur
also this would mean horry may be learning the ropes more of a coach
he said he would like to coach or be a scout after he is done playing
My sentiments exactly (but they better have Nazr extended before they do this).
could you imagine this going down and then signing big dog
if the spurs needed o they could bring in some players who could lit it up
If SAR comes can't see Scola coming too. If they do get SAR trade Scola's rights for an unprotected draft pick.
That sounds like a lot of work. [/Horry]
Let's play along and assume this trade goes down. I am not sure what to make of the deal. On one hand the time of the dominant center is almost non-existant and picking up Rahim for the likes of the mobile big men in the league does make some sense. We had a terrible time with Stud-amire in the WCF and , at least on paper, Rahim would seem to be able to help out tremendously. On the other hand if one of our big guys went down, Nazr or Tim we would seriously suffer on the defensive end due to the lack of a 7 footer guarding the basket. I think overall our defensive scheme would suffer without a 7 footer coming off of the bench. any thoughts?
this move would keep horry fresh for playoffs
BTW, I like that he says the Blazers are trying to work this out.
I was kind of skeptical that anyone would be willing to help us out via trades.
If, perhaps, they signed Scola with the LLE plus $350K for the buyout with Tau and then offered GRobinson something starting in the $3.5 mil range as a starting salary for 2 or 3 seasons.
Still, this seems like a lot of salary commitments for Holt Cat to take on.
Oberto for LLE.
Portland is another franchise that has dealt with the Spurs in the past, just like the Hawks, Knicks, Suns, andLakers ("the rich get richer")...
Well, considering we had a 6'8" guy doing it (Horry) in the playoffs, I'd say that worked out okay.I think overall our defensive scheme would suffer without a 7 footer coming off of the bench. any thoughts?
Look, the overall trend in this league is for longer, athletic forward types, not the big brutes. That's one area where the Spurs need to improve at - having guys to match up with the likes of Amare, Rashard, etc.
Shareef gives you that.
Well, if he would like to spend a season on IR then yeah, he can sign for that or whatever is left over of the MLE.
TD functions as the backup 5.
Maybe I'd rather have Przybilla, if the Spurs are dealing with the Blazers.
Its great to have a bunch of good players, but are these guys happy with sitting on their asses for most of the season?
Music to my ears please tell me this trade goes down, and get Rasho off the team already. I still see the Spurs getting Scola though i doubt very highly they let a player of that magnitude slip through their fingers
This would be wonderful. I don't like having to take a similar contract back, but at least it won't tie up the MLE.
you get a young forward who can put up good numbers if td has to sit out a few games... and the power forward you can depend on to rest horry in the regular season... for rasho... a guy they wont use if they start nazr.
Oberto is a fairly physical player and decent post defender, without Rasho needed backup for Naz and Duncan should either go down or be in foul trouble. Horry, SAR, Scola aren't capable of the C position against physical Cs.
Since your starting center won't likely be breaking 30 minutes a game and you'd like to limit the minutes of your primary backup big to around 15, yeah, there's room at the inn.
