Imagine that.
Dan (Newark, DE): Rumors are swirling that the Spurs are looking to trade Rasho and unhappy Luis Scola's rights to another team. Are there any teams out there interested in this package?
SportsNation Marc Stein: (3:27 PM ET ) They're looking to trade Rasho because they're trying to dump some salary before re-signing Nazr. They don't want to trade Scola, but if they can't buy him out and someone else thinks they can, San Antonio will listen to offers. It's not like they don't want Scola here. But they're not going to pay zillions for him when Manu came to the States making around 1.5 mil as an NBA rookie. I personally like Oberto better anyway, but even if that's not a unanimous opion he's a great replacement for Scola.
Imagine that.
Could Marc Stein Be even More of a homer?
LoL.
Haha yeah...I also noticed how Marc always stands with the Spurs!!, GRRR..unlike Steven A. Smith.
let's put a baseball bat to the hornets nest!!!
No one knows whose better than who... Maybe in a couple years we'll findout.
say it with me
You never trade big for small unless for a superstar
You never trade big for small unless for a superstar
You never trade big for small unless for a superstar
this isn't my rule I read it awhile back when we were trying to get a big man why is it everyone is ignoring the rule now when trying to trade rasho and scola
BTW oberto >scola
OH BOY!
Clubalien actually posted something intelligent.You never trade big for small unless for a superstar
i was really impressed until he noted that it was something he read.
*unless the big sucks and has a huge contract.You never trade big for small unless for a superstar*
I agree with the 'don't trade big for small...' but Scola is only 6'9, and an embellished 6'9, from what I've read. Not exactly a 'big' and not irreplaceable. Not they'd be trading him for Nate Robinson.
Not sure that Spurs will ever find any other player willing to receive less money than European's league to play in NBA.
Manu is only in his kind ... wanted and showed how big was his will to play in Spurs.
all i am saying is we are trading a
starting center that plays defense and has a jumper not a bad price on contract
PLUS a gold medal winning powerforward
so we are trading TWO GOOD big man and I want my superstar
this rule goes againts us when we wanted a bigman it shouldn't when we are trading a big men unless the rule should read spurs get screwed in trades
I understand we have "too many" great big man now and need to mvoe them for a "need"
this statement counts 99% of the time. but exception confirm general rules.
Spurs would deal rasho because nazr would agree to extend. Where is the risk?
they would have 4 Big Tim, horry, nazr and oberto under contract for at least 2 more years. it is not like it is a huge risk
plus they have Karaulov, javtokas and mahimni maturing for near future.
There ya go.
Welcome back.
Spurs should bring in Javtokas and Scola next year
Stein seems to think that the Spurs will keep Nazr.
Rules are meant to be broken. We need a small forward. Hopefully, the Spurs will be able to sign a free agent using the remaining mle. But if they can't, look at the roster and the minutes available per position, then look at the salary cap. Rasho or Nazr and/or Scola's rights are resources that the team may have to use to make sure they have a backup small forward next season.
i personally am 50/50 between. rasho and nazr.
as long as they pay nazr rasho type of money i am fine with it
we have a SF he is BOWEN
you are trading a starting center in rasho + another good big man for someone to back up bowen
while this feels a need maybe we shoudl be trading for someone that could actual start for us
we need to rasie the bar on who we accept back
because we can play with "too many big man" so there isn't really any harm
sure project SFs are nice but when y ou are trading two great big men i think the trade isn't balanced
club alien you are making a really good point.
spend rasho plus scola for a project sounds like over paying.
but keepingrasho and scola is not a lot better
rasho sucks... plus he's not a spring chicken... plus he's got a horrible contract...rasho + another good big man f
if you think we are getting a super star you are layden league gm stupid
you've got to give up something to unload Rasho... enter Scola
Generally true...not always.
Remember when the Spurs traded Dwayne Schintzius for Antoine Carr? Carr was a smaller big (4 man) and Dwayne a 7'+ center. Carr was a nice player for the Spurs, certainly not a star, but definitely the best cheerleader the Spurs have had and was a true fan favorite. Unfortunately, he got hurt before PHX series when Barkley closed down the HemisFair Arena.
horrible contract?
he took LESS to play for spurs
do you except everyone to play for the vet min
spurs didn't think it was big when they paid for it
all of a sudden if contract last past 2 years and aren't "cheap" they are horrible
houston=bad contract
rasho= reasonable
let me guess you want to sign nazr to an extention for 3 mil a year?
or is it 1.5?
