scola did play man to man defense in the olympics; and he had some great blocks against duncan and the other big men on the USA team
I still say try to do a sign and trade of Nazr for Nocioni, Pop has always liked Nocioni, and he would be a great future SF for the spurs

I think that the Spurs should try to move Rahso. (Especially since they were able to win a championship without his participation in the playoffs and he has a very big contract.) I don't know much about SAR but he sounds like a great pick up. My only question is, if we pick up SAR, how would it affect our ability to get Scola? So much has been said about him and I really want to see him play on our team.
Nocioni is already under contract with the Bulls. So wouldn't it have to be just a regular trade (not sign and trade)? He makes around $2.7M and Nazr makes around $5.5M, so there'd have to be more from Chicago.
yeah I realize that Kori, the bulls would have to give us either cash, draft picks, or another player to make the deal work; but if Curry is unable to play next season the bulls wouldnt mind having a player like Nazr on their team. I think the spurs should worry about getting a SF before they go after a PF because we already have Scola to work with get the position we have the least depth in
Scola clearly benefitted from the lax defensive rules in the Olympics.
I agree with that. I believe they need to get a young SF here ASAP to groom behind Bruce.I think the spurs should worry about getting a SF before they go after a PF
They have trade assets. If Rasho is shipped out for SAR, then Scola is expendable.
and unlike Nazr, Rasho has proven he can play at a high level when duncan goes down with injury, what if Duncan sprains another ankle and is gone for 2 or 3 weeks, I dont think Nazr has the type of offense and defense to succeed without duncan on the court.
Rasho avg around 15 pts and 10 boards when duncna was gone with injury last season, I dont think Nazr can put up those type of offensive numbers and we need that from our bigman if duncan is down
but that is the thing the spurs are not going to trade scola, they are too high on him to do that.
If they're that high on Scola, then they won't pull the trigger on the Rasho-SAR deal, unless the plan is to turn around next summer and deal SAR for a true 3.
what kind of player is scola going to bring you? if scola is a one armed midget without the same skill set as manu? (what kind of asset is that?) cause thats all ive been hearing about scola.![]()
scola is going to be brought in to be the malik/manu energy player off the bench, and maybe eventually become a starter
but Scola will avg 10pts and 8 boards when he does become a spur
I like it, since it involves Rasho not Nazr. SAR would do great in this system. We still need a young 3 though.
constant they are not telling the truth about scola, he is a great player playing for one of the best European teams( like manu did), he plays with the same amount of energy and effort that manu does;
trust me Scola will not be a bust in this league, especially under the coaching of Pop
You don't do this thinking TD is going to get hurt. If TD gets hurt we don't win the le anyways. Nazr plays better next to TD then Rasho. SAR could pick up the scoring slack if TD gets hurt BTW.
yeah nazr really showed how he could play in the finals ( mr. butterfingers) just hold on to the damn ball, I mean with size of hands he probably has it shouldnt be that hard to hold on to the ball
True, but I think that will come with time. I don't think he was use to the guards handing it to him. The guards in NY would not of dump it, they would've still tried to score. Nazr throws it down, unlike Rasho, and a yr under this system will do wonders.
How Many Players Losted The Ball The First Season Playing With Manu
He Makes Passes When They Are Not Expecting It. That Is Why I Like Him
So Sometimes It Results In A To
Spurs Had A To Problem Sometimes Without Nazr
What if Scola struggles and sucks in the league?
Bingo. If the Spurs play their cards right they get SAR at a very attractive price and he would be an attractive trade asset, perhaps moreso than Rasho.
If not, then the Spurs have a great scoring big to play alongside TD.
Ducks need to write more clearly I understood what he said with the TO problem with other Spurs players and Manu's rookie season but, I'm wondering if everybody else caught on.
What if SAR sucks and struggles on this team?
Nazr needs to develop a better outside shot like Rasho has, because alot of you are saying that if we bring in SAR he will help spread the floor better, well when Nazr is out there he needs to spread the floor to, so practice a 10 to 12 ft jumper over the offseason
Again that is why I dont like this trade, we dont know how well Nazr will play next season, and if we dont have another big we will be in trouble
Nazr isn't a shooter. He plays off the glass. He gets the put backs.
He needs to better develope his hands. Not to mention his foot speed. That's it. his shooting, if he could dunk the ball better and not get it stolen or stuffed because it takes him a minute just to get the ball and go up with it, we'd be set with Nazr.
