Spurs - Oberto Opts Out

[azirish]

Not every stiff can be inserted. Butler did nothing.

Oberto was not just a stiff. He was on the Argentine 2004 Gold Metal Olympic team and was a major star in Europe. His "specialty" is low post defense.

If his skills are so easy to find, why is it that someone like him has escaped the Suns for so long?

1. Where did I say Oberto was a stiff???

I'm referring to players Like Nazr and Elson as plug-ins.

2. In regard to your second point, I've been wondering about this for years. Actually TT was nice for a year but the Suns felt he was not worth keeping.

That's not true. He lured Amare into at least 3-4 offenisve fouls by flopping and that was part of the season Amare couldn't be more effective with more court time!

Well, Oberto is from Argentina. They teach flopping at school there. You have to be very careful when you're walking or driving along the streets of Buenos Aires, because there are people trying to draw offensive fouls everywhere.
