Who Here Thinks Nazr Will Resign or Wont Resign With The Spurs?

[Duncan21]

If he doesnt resign what bigman do you see the spurs signing? Any thoughts?

Who Here Thinks Nazr Will Resign or Wont Resign With The Spurs?

I do! I think he will or he wont!

[DizzG]

who knows?

if the Spurs bring over robertas javtokas..he may very well be a better option than Nazr..who hasnt shown much this year

[Twilite Kid]

i think he's gone. Unless his playing time increases significantly and he gets his starting job back, I'd be shocked if he were with us next year. Not sure who we would get though.

its pretty clever, and i myself have to agree w/ him.

Spurs will let him test the free agent market and think about bringing him back if he doesn't get an offer above veteran minimum. When R.C. Buford reflects on the contract that Nazr turned down last summer, I'm sure he thinks, "There but for the grace of God..."

[ro_50]

I think he's on the first ride out of SA this offseason. An another team will offer more money and more playing time.

[bevo]

i think portland? or chicago might make an offer higher than what the spurs think his worth is.

I dont see the spurs paying $10+ million for 2 centers who have been big bodies for the most part.

I do think its an area we have to address next year. Rebounding is an issue.

[pad300]

I expect Nazr to be gone. I wouldn't be surprised if both Nazr and Rasho were gone next year. I strongly suspect the coaching and FO is sick and tired of getting such little production out of the centre slot. I am confident that we will see Javtokas next year. I would love to see another body in for Rasho as well - Steven Hunter (need to trade w/philly) or Joel Pryzbilla (FA, possible sign and trade with Rasho to Portland?) might both be options to explore.

[bevo]

prizbylla I expect to be out of our market possibly. Chicago has cash this summer. THey're gonna address their center issue(s).

pryzbilla I think is also foul prone. he likes to swat at a lot of shots.

I'd like to get that center out of atlanta though. Hunter would be a decent backup center.

I expect Rasho to be here most likely. Not sure how much Hunter makes.

[biglakerfan]

I don't know if he can play the 4 or not, but if he could I'd love to see the Lakers pick him up. He can block some shots and board for us, which is all we need from him if Kwame can keep playing the way he finished this season.

[SRJ]

Who Here Thinks Nazr Will Resign or Wont Resign With The Spurs?

The way you asked the question can be restated in this way:

In my opinion, Nazr will resign or won't resign with the Spurs.

There are two more accurate ways to ask this question:

A) Will Nazr resign with the Spurs or won't he?

B) What do you think Nazr will do this summer?

Didn't mean to offend, just having a bit of fun.

And to really answer your question, I happen to think he'll be gone.

[spurssheriff]

Nazr is a gonner unless no one else shows interest. Spurs will bring in someone else- possibly even Scola, but the problem there is that you get smaller with Scola. They really need to shore up that front line with some thugs. Scola can be thuggish, but how tall is he? He's a tweener like Malik, no?

I thought I've heard that Scola's 6'9", which isn't bad.

Of course, if he's an NBA 6'9", that makes him 6' 6 & 3/8".

[spurssheriff]

There you go. He's Malikish. Malik was 6'9"

[spurtime]

Scola's an undersized PF...Certainly not a replacement for Nazr. Though, I would welcome bringing him in, and it would force Timmy to play more minutes at the 5 spot, I think we would also need to bring in one of our other European bigs (Javtokas or Mahinmi for grooming purposes) or sign another serviceable big who can play minutes at the 5 behind *cough* Rasho.

[Uwe Blab]

Seeing as how they're stuck with Rashole, I would say that Nazr is probably out. Maybe they are planning on giving Oberto some playing time next year, he really isn't as bad as he seems. Lots of hustle, high in awkwardness though.

I'm still in need of convincing that the Oberto experiment hasn't been an unmitigated failure. He has shown some hustle, but he's also showed an inability to adjust to the length/strength of NBA bigs. Maybe some more minutes next season will prove my hunch wrong but I'm doubtful.

Ooh I just had a scary thought. We almost traded Rasho to Dallas earlier this year.

Well, at least he was offered. Cuban wanted no part of him.

[RichB]

He's better than the garbage they have in Dallas right now.

[Mr. Chauffeur]

My guess is he is gone. My guess Horry is as well. So that leaves us with a need for Center-PF and SF-PF. Van Exel will be gone so we will need another back-up PG. Should be interesting.

[tdnkg]

the way he is playing I hope he signs in with the mavericks

Oberto seems like a smart player, but it seems like he just cannot score in the NBA. Maybe with this year under his belt he'll improve, and of course I hope he does, but it seems doubtful.

[spurssheriff]

Yeah but the garbarge is still out-rebounding us. In both games even.
We need some reboundin' thuggery.

[DizzG]

My guess Horry is as well.

he has said he wants to play one more year and it would only be in SA..didnt want to go somewhere else

Rasho > Dampier.

that guy is garbage

Yeah, but he is garbage that doesn't get called on half his fouls...

Remember that shot of him trying to take TP's head off at the same time as pulling on Rasho's shorts from game 1. If you look at the box score and the play by play, that wasn't called a foul. With the ref looking right at it (you can see the ref in the photo).

[sidaneja12]

what happened to romaine sato?? who is he? did i just make htat name up?

Romain Sato is a 6'5" swing player out of Xavier. He was drafted last year in the second round by the Spurs.

[spurssheriff]

[coyotes_geek]

Sorry, I didn't get in on this thread the first time around.

I'm going to go ahead and say that Nazr does not re-sign with San Antonio.
