Rasho Nesterovic San Antonio bound?

Posted By: Spurs News Editor

The T-Wolves, Knicks and Spurs are waiting, hoping to hear that 7-footer Rasho Nesterovic will decide to play for their team next year, but SpursReport has learned that Nesterovic may have already decided and that he will be packing his bags for San Antonio.

Even as late as yesterday evening, the T-Wolves were holding out hope that Nesterovich would continue his career in Minnesota.
"We made a very good offer [to Nesterovic]," said Kevin McHale, the Wolves vice president of basketball operations and general manager. "I talked to Rasho myself [the past three days]. It's not a negotiation, it's a matter of his making a decision. We hope he returns."

According to two seperate sources, however Nesterovich is expected to sign with the Spurs. One source indicates that he will sign a six year, $48 million deal. Official word is expected by Tuesday afternoon.

The Spurs have had an eye on the center for some time and team officials should be excited by the news, after being turned down by Jason Kidd and P.J. Brown in recent days.
