LOL @ people throwing around the term "08 plan"
none of us have a damn idea what RC and Pop have in mind
Probably....you'd never know though.....Do the Bulls want to do this for real?yeah throw in Beno.
Im sure the Spurs wouldn't do that cause then they would be losing too many "Ball handlers"
They may not if we throw in Beno.....they may say keep him...you made your bed....
Beno....the deal breaker??

the 08 plan was thrown around last year, and all season.
So i dont know why it would change now.
what's the plan? only 3 guys under contract and basically the team will be completely re built around them?
Oberto will be back, Splitter will arrive, so that's 5 guys
I hope Bowen retires after another le run this year
The plan is prob the same as 03.
Surround the big three with a superstar.
It didnt work then and wouldn't work now.
Im all in favor of going balls out to get Andres Nocioni.
I am just not confident the Spurs are on our thinking level right now.
would the Spurs have enough money to throw MAX dollars at someone like Brand or Marion?
Supposedly they would.
If we don't sign too many people this offseason then we should have enough money for a max contract next season.
Marion? WTF?
Because, I was pointing out he's basically as old as Scola and a better, easier option for us right now.
screw Nocioni he is not a long term solution to our 3 spot. He sure as isn't worth anyone we own the rights to
That's a pretty strong statement, considering he's 3 years younger than Bowen was when he signed here...

Congrats, you've reached Norcal stupidity with that statement.
Nocioni is a scrub on a scrub team, he is not a starter and would not be considered a starter here. So why would we want to trade away guys that would be a starter here in a few years for a guy that is at best Danny Ferry.
Now if we were talking about a guy like Josh Howard then I would listen but we are talking about a guy who has a career avg of 11.1 pts per game and is coming off a career year which just happens to be a contract year.
The difference is Bowen came in as a FA when we were not the NBA champs and needed a defensive stopper. Nocioni is not a defensive stopper he is a marginal scorer who got shut down in the Detroit series.
It is a lot less stupid than those who would trade half our roster for another Danny Ferry clone. Did you guys watch any basketball outside of the Spurs? He is easily shutdown by teams that actually play defense (see detroit series).
With the attention Duncan commands, that wouldn't happen.
except for the fact that for every point he puts up; the person he is guarding will be scoring two or three.
Um...Danny Ferry actually became a pretty good defensive player for Pop. IF he did it...Noccioni can do it. Noccioni plays with a fantastic at ude and he ups his game in the post season. Detroit may have stopped him...but if he was healthy, they were having to commit resources to do it.
You're crazy...the dude lead the NBA in 3 shooting for most of the season(or maybe it was the season before), and the Bulls don't even have a damn inside presence. Noccioni might shoot 50% from 3 on this team. And he's been a huge post season rebounder as well...guys don't rebound if they aren't playing hard.
IF the rest of the Bulls had played as well as Noccioni did in the playoffs the past couple of years, prior to these playoffs...they'd have made the finals.
Noccioni is probably the second best Argentine basketball player...
I rate them like this:
Manu
Noccioni
Oberto
Herman
Delfino
Sanchez
Wokjyhowski
That Devil dude in the Manu gatorade commercial
Diego Maradonna
That Boxer that almost beat Muhammad Ali
That dude that just won the big golf tournament
The Argentine Hottie that interviewed Manu when he first came to the team
Manu's wife
Evita
Che Guevera
All other Argentines ever born and those yet to be born
Pele
Madonna
Scola
It's like that.
danny ferry clone?
Nocioni missed 28 with planter facsitis at the end of the season, you can't expect a guy to sit for 2-3 months and then be 100%. Last year nocioni avg. 22ppg in the playoffs, very Ferry like.
I covet Nocioni. I would love to see us sign him. And the opportunity to see Nocioni, Manu, Oberto on the floor with Duncan and Parker would be awesome - Manu and Oberto already had such great chemistry together on the Spurs.
If we can package a couple of players and a future pick, or rights to one of our many polayers overseas, this would be awesome. it would also open up some roster spots for us too
maybe i'm missing the joke, but you realize pele's not argentinian, right?
I hope brasilian posters don't read this thread... or Whott's days are counted.
