Alot of analyst seem to think Rasho is outta here, I like that..
But do you really think Oberto is going to play mainly PF?

The Spurs better be trying to move Rasho. This guy isn't worth what they're paying him. I couldn't understand the signing of this guy that one off-season. It even shocked me when the report came out saying Pop went to Rasho's homeland to convince him to sign with the Spurs. He is a good bench player on the Spurs roster when you have Nazr, but the question is will Nazr resign???
Who should they have signed instead?I couldn't understand the signing of this guy that one off-season
"when you have Nazr"
Spurs didn't have Nazr in the summer of 03
Spurs may not have Nazr in summer of 06.
In those contexts, Rasho looks pretty damn signable/keepable.
what it would take for you to leave the lot today with a Rasho Nesterovic?" modeok...that was funny.
I betcha Angel is buying!
I suppose my preconceived notion that Rasho is a serviceable NBA center that a lot of teams would like to have is being shattered before my very eyes.
*Sigh* It's high time we put aside all that "cerebral player" and "great positional defender" and "understands the system" talk aside and admit that Rasho is a crappy, passionless stiff.
You mean, like trying to trade him for Tariq Abdul-Wahad?The Spurs are in full-on "what it would take for you to leave the lot today with a Rasho Nesterovic?" mode.
Agreed. As much as I'd like to believe Nazr is guaranteed to stay, he's not. Considering the breakout performance he had throughout the Playoffs, he might demand more money than the Spurs have available.
As far as Oberto, I'd wait to see if he produces before I ship Rasho out of town. Considering Oberto is 6'10 (somewhat short for an NBA center) and thin, he very well might be a forward. No sense in letting a center go for a guy who might not even play the position.
Are we sure Hollinger isn't confusing Oberto with Scola?
Too small to play Center?
A source of point?
the spurs would not push that much without being not far on a agreement with nazr. they are not adverse to risk.
it is good news for Oberto, it would give him minutes but also a lot of pressure. I was one of the biggest "i do not think they will trade rasho" but i have to admit it sounds like they are. Guess it's my turn to be in wait and see mode...
PS: youou i am going back in france tomorrow for 10 days !!!! watch out the kilos
That off-season Brad Miller was a FA. I certainly would have taken him over Rasho. Brad Miller isn't nowhere near the best center in the NBA, but is certainly better than Rasho. So, to answer your question, I would have tried hard to sign him that off-season.Who should they have signed instead?
This myth is something that's been proven wrong every year yet keeps getting passed around as truth.
How can he not like playing center when he does everytime he plays along side Horry?
I think we really only need 1 fulltime center (Nazr) and some fill in's during the game (TD, Nazr,Horry, Oberto). Rarely did it seem that the spurs missed a beat when Nazr wasnt out there. Shaq is really the only player you really need Nazr for and everyone seems adequte enough to fill in against anyone else!! I say either trade Rasho for either 1st or 2nd round future pick and sign a cheap big man like we did with Tmas or Willis..
You guys obviously didn't understand. For the slow ones here let me rephrase it. I was saying since the Spurs have Nazr, Rasho becomes a good bench player and that's it. I didn't say the Spurs had Nazr that year when Rasho signed. I was talking about the now. Not the past. The Spurs now have Nazr and Rasho is on the bench because he isn't that good of a starting center. At the end of that post I wrote, the question is will Nazr resign.He is a good bench player on the Spurs roster when you have Nazr, but the question is will Nazr resign???
I know the point has been made before, but I would not be in such a rush to trade Rasho. True, he was of no help during this playoff run, but next year figures to be different, I think. Houston looks a lot better...Rasho on Yao....Miami might just come out of the east..Rasho on Shaq...Pho will not be the same perimeter team without Q and JJ...Seattle won't win as many, and they have a couple of big stiffs at C. I just think Rasho might be more valuable in some playoff situations next year. The Spurs strength this year was they could adapt to the other teams so well. Rasho gives you a legit big body, not a 6-10 guy trying to guard 7+.
That's what a myth is. Something you hear.
I heard eating Pop Rocks and drinking Cola will make your stomach burst. Stupid crap like that is proven false yet people still pass it about and people are still dumb enough to believe it.
Kip, let me ask you something.. Can you remember a player who spurs have made an effort to sign not sign with them?? I cant, especially someone who has experienced the best organization in the league the prior season....

Dang that was funny. I remember being in elementary when that rumor was out. I was freaking scared.
I think he is still serviceable. What you are dealing with is thatI suppose my preconceived notion that Rasho is a serviceable NBA center that a lot of teams would like to have is being shattered before my very eyes.
1. no team out there is too willing to help out the champs (well, at least not until Isiah has something worth trading for again)
and
2. there are reports in the media (granted they are highly inaccurate IMO) that the Spurs may be considering using the amnesty rule on Rasho.
So again, for one thing teams aren't too willing to help out the defending champs and a team that looks to be strong already for the next 5-6 years, and for another they are thinking that if the Spurs waive him they can sign him to a new deal and not have to give up any pieces that the Spurs are expecting in return.
In the end, push comes to shove, I think the Spurs will get a deal done with one of the teams with major cap room still left (namely, NO, Atlanta, Utah).
Jason Kidd, PJ Brown, Jermaine O'Neal, Karl Malone, Chris Webber. That's off the top of my head.
If the Spurs sign Brad that summer they don't have the money for Manu. Which would you rather have?That off-season Brad Miller was a FA. I certainly would have taken him over Rasho. Brad Miller isn't nowhere near the best center in the NBA, but is certainly better than Rasho. So, to answer your question, I would have tried hard to sign him that off-season.
'Nuff said.
I thought we signed Manu with the LLE.
When Rasho gets traded, it opens the door for Scola next year! I'm all for it. I don't care who they get cause they will be coming off the bench anyway! Pick up someone with a year left on his contract and wait for Scola next year!...... Nazr, Oberto, Scola, Duncan, Horry! Looks like a good front court to me!!!!
But wouldn't have had the $52 million to give him last summer, when that contract expired. They're pretty good at planning ahead, if you couldn't tell.
