Nazr to jump ship?

[flipcritic]

I have no idea if this is true. You guys have the scoop?

It may not be good news for Nazr Mohammed, but it could be for the Bulls. The Spurs' free-agent center isn't happy about falling out of the rotation after scoring 18 points in the Game 1 win over the Kings. He has played three minutes in the last three games as Robert Horry has taken over as the starting center. Figure Mohammed to jump at any reasonable Bulls offer in the off-season.

As if the Spurs were going to keep him, save at a bargain basement price. The purpose of the Rose trade will be fulfilled.

[J.T.]

Maybe if Nazr would ing show up then he'd get some time. I could've scored 18 on the Kings in that game, using that to make his case is bull .

I question his sources,

but,

Chicago has been interested for a while.

There are alot of teams that will probobly want his services next year.

[Budkin]

We are going to need Nazr in this series. He should get some increased playing time as it goes on.

[A-Train]

Spurs will pare some payroll be letting talent walk. Again.

[T Park]

A train,

You seriously would give Nazr MOhammed 6 to 7 million a year for 4 years?!?!?

[Spurologist]

Game Over

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Sign and trade with Tyson Chandler i siadd

[A-Train]

I'd rather give him that than Rasho.

[boutons_]

jumping ship, he'd probably drown, swimming being yet another fundamental beyond his grasp

[greyforest]

i think

nazr > rasho >>> oberto

but thats just my own

7 mill not enough?? I'll package in Channing fyre and David Lee.

[Tek_XX]

buh bye nasty

[A-Train]

Ideally there will be a bidding war for Nazr this summer and the Spurs can find a nice S&T. Maybe one that gets them a pick or two back.

[Borosai]

Let him jump...easily replaceable.

[SANANTOJAMES]

trade him for Kevin garnett............ yeah right

[toosmallshoes]

hopefully next year we'll get scola and this will all be academic.

[Bloodline666]

How about this: We sign him, then trade him to a team that's expected to be lottery-bound, and try and get that team's 2007 First Round pick in the trade (We can't take the Knicks' first round draft pick for 2007, because they already traded off their first round pick for this year to the Bulls in the Curry trade, even though it would be nice to take advantage of them like we did on the 2005 Trade Deadline ). Then, watch the team we traded with choke the whole season, and go into the lottery, while we pull off a Chicago Bulls; get into the Playoffs AND the Lottery, and hopefully win the lottery 10 years after winning it AGAIN. Of course, if we win the Championship that year to go along with a draft lottery victory, the league will probably start changing the lottery rules, to where ALL First Round draft picks are Lottery-Protected upon being traded.

Now, what would be the likelyhood of that scenario? Not very likely, as the very bad teams are probably cautious of trading off their own first round draft picks, so they'd throw in the Lottery-Protected first round draft pick, instead, to ensure that the Silver-and-Black doesn't steal their ping-pong balls in a trade.

Sign and trade with Tyson Chandler i siadd

guy with badback = bloated contract = overrated player = doesnt avg 10rpg 2bpg = no n way we trade for chandler

[PM5K]

The Playoffs are all about matchups, if we were playing the Heat with Zo and Shaq then he and Rasho would be playing significantly more minutes, if he's too stupid to ing understand that, him then...

[Reggie Miller]

hopefully next year we'll get scola and this will all be academic.

Even if it doesn't work on the court, how cool would it be for the Spurs to bring in a second unit like this: "And nowwww...ladies and gentlemen...the Gold Medal Argentine National Team for your San Antonio Spurs!!!!" I think Oberto might shock a few people if he had Scola and Ginobili on the court with him at the same time.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

I'd rather give him that than Rasho.

Precisely!
Rasho's been a bust since day one, even before that. To pay him all that money to have one of the best seats at the game is completely ridiculous!
Nazr came over a lot cheaper, and will probably settle for a little less. If he thinks he's gonna get a blockbuster dal from the Spurs, he's got another thing coming, but between he and Rasho, I'd stick with Nazr. Besides, Pop can't keep throwing Horry out there at center every game. He's going to get outmuscled quite a bit, and as I said elsewhere, Nazr, Rasho and Oberto are worth 18 fouls a game. May as well put them to use as long as they're there.

[Kori Ellis]

So you want 6'8 Scola to play center?

[rwb]

Surely by now Nazr has figured out that Pop does what he feels needs to be done to win. I guarantee if it comes down to Spurs-Pistons--which I anticipate--Nazr's size will be needed more as will Rasho's. If Manu and Finley can get over not starting every now and then, Nazr needs to understand as well that it's about the team and the win, not anyone's bruised ego. If his head's more into the number of minutes he plays rather than the big picture, I'd rather have the Coyote earning that money. Then again, it may serve to make Nazr try harder just to prove himself. My biggest frustration with him comes from his inability to hang on to the ball and catch passes. If he wants more touches, he needs to touch and then hold on.
