I wonder whether the Spurs are going to play Scola Vs. Oberto, specifically to keep Scola's contract low by threatening to sign Oberto otherwise.
Here is an article from an on-line newspaper link I check occasionally. It's got the latest on Oberto. He's in "High" demand in Europe and he's holding teams at bay while he awaits a bid from RC and Pop.
It's from yesterday, July 11, 2005

Lo quieren muchos
Los principales clubes españoles y uno de los más importantes de Italia, están a la caza y se «pelean» por fichar a Fabricio Oberto, quien mantiene como prioridad saltar a la NBA y espera tranquilo.
Tres de los cuatro mejores equipos de España; el campeón Real Madrid, Barcelona y Unicaja Malaga y que disputarán la Euroliga en la próxima campaña, tienen al cordobés como «la figura» a contratar. Mientras Benetton Treviso italiano, que también disputará la Euroliga, es otro de los grandes interesados en el pivote de Las Varillas.
«Oberto es el más deseado» uló el diario Marca, en su edición del sábado. Los presidentes de los dos clubes más grandes de España, Florentino Pérez (Madrid) y Joan Laporta (Barcelona) dieron la venia y los euros necesarios para ficharlo. El periódico deportivo de la capital española graficó que «El pivote argentino está en letras mayúsculas en las agendas del Barza y Madrid, aunque también el Unicaja y Benetton mantienen sus opciones. Sin embargo, Oberto tiene la intención de probar la NBA y espera una oferta convincente de San Antonio Spurs».
Mientras en Unicaja, su técnico Sergio Scariolo exigió su contratación antes de renovar su contrato y fue promesa de los directivos. Si no ficha a Oberto, Scariolo pensaría dejar el club malagueño, según informó el diario Malaga Hoy.
Cuando Oberto rescindió su contrato con Pamesa Valencia, dijo que su prioridad era la NBA, pero no descarta seguir en el viejo continente, aunque en equipos que disputen la Euroliga.
Espera NBA
Oberto sigue esperando por una propuesta formal de la NBA. La semana pasada, RC Buford, general manager de los Spurs dijo que le interesa, igual que Luis Scola. Los equipos de la Liga estadounidense están dando los primeros pasos, como el fichaje de los mejores agentes libres y después irán por los nuevos jugadores.

They want many to it
Main Spanish clubs and one of most important of Italy, are to the hunting and "they are fought" to file to Fabricio Oberto, that maintains as priority to jump to the NBA and hopes calm.
Three of the four better equipment of Spain; the Real champion Madrid, Barcelona and Unicaja Malaga and that will dispute the Euroliga in the next campaign, must to the Cordovan like "the figure" to contract. While Benetton Italian Treviso, that also will dispute the Euroliga, is another one of the great ones interested in the pivot of the Rods.
"Oberto is wished" led the daily Mark, in its edition of Saturday. The presidents of both greater clubs of Spain, Florentino Perez (Madrid) and Joan Laporta (Barcelona) gave venia and the euros necessary to file it. The sport newspaper of the Spanish capital graficó that "the Argentine pivot is in capital letters in the agendas of the Barza and Madrid, although also the Unicaja and Benetton maintains their options. Nevertheless, Oberto has the intention to prove the NBA and waits for a convincing supply of San Antonio Spurs ".
While in Unicaja, his technician Sergio Scariolo demanded his hiring before renewing his contract and it was promise of the directors. If noncard to Oberto, Scariolo would think to leave to the club malagueño, according to informed the Malaga newspaper Today.
When Oberto terminated its contract with Pamesa Valencia, it said that its priority was the NBA, but does not discard to follow in the old continent, although in equipment that disputes the Euroliga.
It waits for NBA
Oberto continues hoping by a formal proposal of the NBA. The last week, RC Buford, general to manager of the Spurs it said that it interests to him, just as Luis Scola. The equipment of American Liga is taking the first steps, as the draftee of the best free agents and later goes by the new players.
I wonder whether the Spurs are going to play Scola Vs. Oberto, specifically to keep Scola's contract low by threatening to sign Oberto otherwise.
Why not:
Use the LLE to sign Oberto
Half of the MLE to sign Scola.
Trade Rasho and Beno for AD
Nazr/Oberto
Tim/Horry/Scola
Bowen/LJ3/Brown
Manu/Brent/Brown
TP/AD/Wilks(?)
IR. Marks or Someone else
---------------------------------------------------
Or use the MLE to sign both Oberto and Scola.
And then use the LLE for someone else. Maybe Big Dog.
sounds like spurs soured on scola
Worst. Trade. Ever.
Well you'd have to get rid of Nazr or Rasho, if Oberto and Scola come over. I wonder if Spurs equipment general to manager RC, is going to get both of them. That would be one of a Spurs equipment.
Well, it's not quite Bruce for Mike James.
But close.
This website is from Fabricio's home area so it's going to be focused on him a little more than Luis. Don't construe this to mean that the Spurs have soured on Luis.
If Oberto was brought in, you have to trade Rasho. And why not get AD He proved he can play point and run a team.
Him backing up Tony would be sweet.
Oberto continues to wait for a formal proposal from the NBA. This past week, RC Buford, general manager of the Spurs said he was interested in him, AS WELL as Luis Scola.
I dont think that means anything, except that he'd like to join the Spurs if possible. (if they offer him a contract)
Exactly.
why would ad want to play back up when he can start on other teams?
If Oberto is down with the possibilty of wearing street clothes a lot next season, come on over.
I'm not sure how Scola and Oberto would work on this team. You'd have to let Massenburg go and trade Rasho for a small ... and then one of either Scola or Oberto will be the 12th man.
C Nazr/Oberto
PF Duncan/Horry/Scola
SF Bowen/Brown
SG Ginobili/Barry
PG Parker/Udrih
That's 11. Then you'd have room for either a long three (GRob, JJames, Kukoc) or a third point guard.
Hmmmm ... but that's not counting who the Spurs trade Rasho for.
I really like this lineup! You know that both Oberto and Scola are hard workers - this could be one uva bench.
How big is Oberto, both Scola and Oberto are unproven in the NBA so people should stop jumping to conclusions.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease bring in Scola and Oberto! Have you people seen what these incredible players can do??????????????? Lets talk about a bench from .....Barry,Oberto,Scola,Daniels,brown........a nd the usual starting 5?????????? can you say dynasty????? I have watched both Scola and Oberto play in the World Championship in Indianapolis and the olympics and was at least salivating at the fact that Scola will one year be a spur, but now Oberto???????? If we get both players I will crap out monkeys!!!!! Nobody realizes how f***!#* great these spurs will be, the only player the spurs will be missing is Nocioni....R.C. is a schmuck for not locking him up!!!!!!Ill take a Fabricio Oberto over a Radnosoft Nesterovich anyday!!!!!
Google's translation was harder to read than the Spanish version. . .and I don't speak Spanish!!
cross your fingers
It wasnt RC's fault for not signing Nocioni, the spurs scouting team knew about him and very interested in Nocioni but were given wrong information about his eligibility and no one drafted him. The person on the scouting team that made the mistake was later firedthe only player the spurs will be missing is Nocioni....R.C. is a schmuck for not locking him up!!!!!!Ill
I think it is scola or him not both
seriously!Google's translation was harder to read than the Spanish version. . .and I don't speak Spanish!!
can someone translate the google translator?
Yeah, if the Spurs are able to trade Radoslav for a 3 that would work well. A Rasho for Battier trade would seem quite nice, but Battier is a BYC player.
what did this dude average last year
I'm sure that Oberto won't commend more then the LLE. He's got experience and knows how to play TEAM basketball.
I'm not sure if the Spurs would bring both him and Scola, but I hope they do. If Oberto accepts playing limited minutes and possibly take Massenburg's minutes, I'm for it.
