Here is for all the people who think Nocioni doesnt have skill, heart, hustle, and doesnt play tough D (and remember he is a rookie)
best picture, could be the student and the teacher in a couple of years

Bowen wasn't left alone. Teams guarded him. The number of times a guard penetrated and they doubled off of Bowen from the corner can be counted on one hand.
Anyways, I wouldn't suspect you to be one to go down the this anti-Bowen road.

Who said he doesn't have heart or hustle?
i don't usually hear how great a jump shooter rasho is. i'm all for this deal from what i've heard of SAR and what i've seen from rasho.
I'm not going anti-Bowen. Bowen was one of the keys to us winning a le.
But he's no offensive threat, wouldn't you agree? So whatever he gives to us offensively is a big treat and bonus.
The same could be said for Nocioni if he were to become as good as Bowen defensively.

Everytime I think there's hope for the human race, somebody comes along and disses Andres Nocioni.
Starting today, the Nets will indulge Shareef Abdur-Rahim with red-carpet treatment in hopes of landing their top free-agent target. Over Abdur-Rahim's two-day visit to New Jersey, the Nets will attempt to persuade the 6-9 power forward to take either their $4.9 million mid-level exception or $4.9 million trade exception. Abdur-Rahim, who is also reportedly slated to visit Sacramento later, is the key to the Nets having a successful summer. While the Nets are also interested in free-agent forwards like Donyell Marshall and Stromile Swift and restricted free agents such as Kwame Brown, their ideal successor to Kenyon Martin is Abdur-Rahim.
--New York Daily News
The Nets, who have yet to make an offer, would ideally like to sign [Shareef] Abdur-Rahim to a four-year or five-year deal worth between $22 million and $28 million. Abdur-Rahim, however, could command a deal as large as six years and $38 million if he and the Nets can work a sign-and-trade with Portland for the $4.9 million trade exception before July 29, when the trade exception expires.

You must have been really mad during that Wizards series when they were all calling him out after the first game and saying he wasn't going to do that again ... even though they were going to continue leaving him open.
Is that the defense or heart part?
Shoulda just kicked him in the face.

The Spurs can beat that with Nazr tied behind their back.
What does New Jersey have to offer Portland? Brian Scalabrine? You can get one of those by filling up your gastank these days. Ron Mercer? Can you say dime-a-dozen dog ?
I love these bushleague organizations run by idiots like Rod Thorn and with loser coaches like Lawrence Frank that think they have any goddamn clout in this league whatsoever. I can't think of a team with more overrated, injury prone, 35% shooting crap than the New Jersey ing Nets.
Thorn would give Isiah a run for his money in the jackass executive-of-the-year category.
If Shareef is truly concerned about winning, then he'll come to San Antonio. If he's like everyone else and in it for the money then he'll end up in the swamplands of Jersey or the parade in Sacramento.
Do we really care? Yeah I'd love to jettison Nestero-vagina but let's not sacrifice Scola to do it.
But how do you really feel Walton?
Not sure yet.

NJ isn't talking about trading for Abdur-Rahim. They are talking about signing him outright, and he already has a good relationship with Frank and Jason Kidd.What does New Jersey have to offer Portland? Brian Scalabrine? You can get one of those by filling up your gastank these days. Ron Mercer? Can you say dime-a-dozen dog ?
I'm sure that Kidd and Vince as teammates are tempting to some players.
They'll have to trade. Abdur-Rahim won't play for the MLE. All it takes is one team to offer a sign-and-trade and then this becomes way more complicated than which teams have the MLE at their disposal.
Well the only teams he's talking to so far are NJ and Sac .. they are both talking about signing him for the MLE.
Wait and see my friend.........and thank you again Kori for your offer to stay at your place. We decided (regretfully) to attend game four in Detroit since I was there on business at the time anyways.
What a horrible night that was.
When we do come to San Antonio, Walton owes you and your worse half big time. Food and drinks will be on me.....with TwoHandJam's money of course.
I think he wants more than the MLE too. But maybe he'll realize he's been overpaid for the past few seasons and want to balance it out.
I'm not sure if the Nets have the fast track on him or not, but Frank was at Abdur-Rahim's house on the first night of free agency at midnight and now A-R is in NJ for a couple days. I think eventually whoever gets him will sign-and-trade though.
Yeah, I lived through watching ty Spurs games at the Forum and Staples Center, so I know what you felt like in Detroit.
Hopefully you guys will eventually be able to visit San Antonio.
If he's paid more than the MLE, then he's being over paid.
Who Sar?
A GUY WHO CAN PUT UP 20?
PS WHAT SHOULD SCOLA MAKE?
I WOULD AGREE IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SCOLA
Are you sure? I was thinking maybe that if the Spurs signed Scola, Oberto, Sanchez, and Hermann, traded for Nocioni, dumped the black in their color scheme in favor of sky blue, adopted a little smiling gold sun as a secondary logo, and had Tony Parker exchange Eva for Pampita, they'd go 82-0 and 16-0 in the playoffs.
He can put up 20?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?! But only put up 16 last year!?!?!?!?!!?!!!!!
Yeah, he deserves more than the MLE....
As for Scola... he doesn't deserve the full MLE... he deserves TEH MAX!!!
