Until I see something in print, thus it shall remain.
Besides the fact that Malone will pretty much end up in SA, there is also a huge rumor that the spurs are seeking a third team to participate in a blockbuster trade in hopes of acquiring Eddy Curry from the Bulls and send Rasho whoever wants him. For some reason, I feel that New York could be that team.

I'm sure nobody wants anything to do with Curry so long as his agent expects max dollars.
And where exactly did you hear this rumor?
Aka... link?
Come on all you gullible fools, CIA Pop does not make his work known until it's done.
Quite honestly is there any team who would want anything to do with Rasho? Who's your source elf? I've never liked trade conjecture that includes phrases such as "we'll trade such and such for another power forward" Well who? Without some specifics it usually lacks credibility.
Plenty.Quite honestly is there any team who would want anything to do with Rasho?
But I can't really see the Spurs trading for an even softer center.
Plenty of teams would take a starting-quality center at below market value. Rasho is still a shot blocker with the talent to thrive in the right system (for him). And he makes less than most starting centers with half his talent.
As I said above, this is a moot point because Pop's personnel management doesn't make the press until after it happens, BUT
Everyone who watched him go for 18, 10, and 3 last year when Duncan was out, and needs a center (which is about 2/3 the league).Quite honestly is there any team who would want anything to do with Rasho?
I agree with most of your statement Spur, but how many systems will Rasho have to try to fit in before he becomes an overpaid journeyman?
I can't see Pop going after probably the only center in the NBA less motivated to succeed than Rasho.
http://www.dailyherald.com/search/ma...intid=38333126Rumor of the night: It's not often you see a coach say one of his players has been awful. But San Antonio's Gregg Popovich put that tag on center Rasho Nesterovic.
"I think he's been awful for a couple of weeks," Popovich said Thursday in the San Antonio Express-News.
Spurs scout Lance Blanks watched the Bulls play Saturday night, and there was talk he was focused on Bulls center Eddy Curry.
It's hard to imagine what the Spurs would have available to give in a trade for Curry, though, even with a third team involved.
meh pop would light a rocket under his ass if he ever did get here, he'd get motivated quick
If you can in any way get Eddy Curry for Rasho, you do it as fast as you can. Curry is unmotivated and still out of shape ... but make him workout and put him around quality people, and you have an all-star in less than three years.
I guarantee it.
Oh man, timvp's dilemma: what to do if the Spurs get Eddy Curry (his lust-wish for the past year) AND Karl Malone . . .
OTOH, if Pop was trying to get max trade value for Rasho, he sure has a funny way of doing it.
Karl Malone
Eddy Curry for Rasho is a steal in my opinion. In the times when Curry has been motivated and convinced he was going to get his touches he has shown flashes of being big time, not just big. He is the inside scoring threat we need to go along with Duncan. Curry would keep teams from doubling down on Tim because Curry is money within 5 ft, much like Shaq. I have wanted us to go after either Curry or Kwame for two years. I am a huge supporter of this trade, which is why I know it wont happen.
I wonder if we could get Kwame for Barry.....
God, don't go anywhere near Kwame . . .
A motivated Curry would be interesting to see in this lineup here.
My interest is piqued, now.
The problem is that the Spurs, as currently cons uted and even more with Malone, still remain the at this point the le favorites.
If you trade Rasho for Curry, will you be reducing the shot at winning this year in exchange for better chances in the next 3?
Yeah, but can we truthfully say Rasho's making a significant impact right now?
Significant? Probably not.
Some impact? Yeah.
smoke screen, the spurs actually want tyson chandler
The problem is this rumor is weaker than half the you see on the ESPN message boards, and it's up to 20 posts.
Well seeing as Lance Blanks was watching Chicago and the Spurs aren't playing Chicago anytime soon, then they were probably looking at someone. It doesn't mean it's Eddy Curry and it doesn't mean they have a shot at him though.
It's not really a Rasho's significance.
It's the significance of having a stable lineup of players familiar with each other through the season and playoffs.
You have a bigger talent with Curry, but realistically the familiarity won't be there until next year.
It's not like he's Rasheed Wallace, who was a fully developed veteran player when he joined the Pistons last year.
