How do you all feel about Nesterovic as our Center? He was once viewed as a good complementary player for guys like KG and TD, now that we have CF, will Isiah give him a chance to become our starter?

Did you hear about this possible Rose for Rasho deal?

No I didn't, but why would the Spurs trade for the same guy that they got rid off??? I know that TD runs the show in San Antonio, but I can't see this happening..

He couldn't get off the bench and get minutes over Nazr who so many here killed. was he hurt?

No, no thanks. Stiff. overpaid version of Mike Doleac.

I'd much rather have Rose's attitude here than Rasho's. Same goes for Rose's game. This is a hard-nosed guy who plays his butt off and will give you a hard effort for even 10 minutes. Sure, he's short, but this isn't the same as having Weatherspoon as the 10th man. It's a defensive bull who plays hard and will be a good influence on Lee and Frye.

I know the Spurs are very interested in reacquiring Rose and unloading Rasho period. Pop's comments concerning Rasho were distrubing during the playoffs. "He can come to practice if he wants to..." I know Nazr, helped you guys out but in the long run, Rasho could prove to be the better player.

He has improved as a shotblocker but is basically a robot out there. His free throw shooting is absurdly bad. His contract is absolute poision too...runs 1 more year than Malik at more money. Pass.

Than we should go with James or Hunter...At least that would keep Seven A Smith off of Isiah's back..

Dido was actualy psychic!!!!


As for Rasho, I would only take him if SA took back Malik Rose.

That works for me. He's 2 years longer, but he's 7 feet and would add more than Malik IMO. I would consider it, but doing it is another thing because heis contract is so big and so long.

I am glad that you have realized that some of my predictions have come true. Rasho and a second round draft pick for Malik is a pretty good deal...but Steven A. would destroy Isiah for making this deal. Raaaaaaaaaaassssssshhhhhooo Nesterovic....

If SA threw in afew of their foreign players developing in Europe it is a deal to be considered. Reduce the PF glut, the contract the same length, he clogs the middle, good shotblocker. Not the same quality player but not a crazy idea.

Manytimes a team wants a player back. The trade here was about getting a side kick for Duncan. Rasho is ok, layden loved him! Im sure SA would love to have Rose back! Rose was a bit frustrated over minutes, but he might not get them here either!

Since we got a glut of PFs bringing in Rasho would only give us three centers. In injuruy to James, or if Super Frye can't cut it, or last more than 10 min, we could use him. Super Frye at PF might make more sense long term.

Nestrovic and a second round draft pick is a good deal. if he is garbage, we can always package him with one of our expiring contracts for a star....

I'd rather have Rose playing Center for us than Rasho.

If San Antonio wants Rose, they better give us ANOTHER 1st along with Rasho.

Addition by subtraction for them...
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

did you say that you rather have Rose playing Center???? What is wrong with this logic? how many playoff appearances have we had with Kurt playing Center?? Rose is 3" shorter than Kurt and most of all, we don't have Duncan as PF
