Anybody informed on Nazr Mohammed?

A guy who seems to be forgotten is Nazr Mohammed. Remember, last year he was the Bulls 2nd choice behind Ben Wallace when they were in the market for a big man.

Could the Bulls make a deal with Detroit for Nazr to get that inside scorer? Of course he isnt a big name guy, but seems to be able to get the job done.

However, I don't know the situation of why he didnt play last year and in the playoffs much. Is it just because Chris Webber moved him out of the rotation? Or was he some kind of problem child? Or did he and the management just disagree?

Did he just underperform? And if so could it be because of the situation he was in? Maybe he could turn it around with the Bulls.

Anyway, if he could be a decent inside scorer, which before last year the Bulls thought he could be, would he be worth going for? I mean he could probably be had uber cheap, the Pistons dont really need both him and Dale Davis to chill out on the bench and do nothing? Maybe we could throw a low first round pick or sweetney or something at them.

I'm not a fan
There's a good reason the Pistons didn't play him.  He's not very good at basketball.

He's not forgotten at all.
He has been mentioned a number of times in comment threads, but the idea quickly gets shot down.

He's actually efficient in his incredibly limited minutes.

--BUT--

His contract is too big and too long for someone who's only going to play 10-15 minutes per game. And would more than likely be declining from here on out.

At least that's my opinion.

Yes, of course.

but with the Bulls
he'd be playing more than 10-15 minutes a game. of course, would he be worth playing more than 10-15 minutes per game?
Wallace, Deng, Hinrich, Thomas earing NBA accolades. Thomas, Gordon at All-Star weekend. A sweep of the Champs. One great year.

also...
his contract is to big for what? he's only signed to the MLE, which the Bulls have available

he's also
getting paid until 2011. That's a big commitment to a 4th big.

I agree
I'd rather take a year one risk on someone like Mihm if all other options fail.
Gordon, Nocioni, Duhon, Khryapa for Gasol is a really bad idea.

Well...
...who do the Bulls give up to get him? If you're keeping the current bigs on the team, I don't think he should get more than that.

There's 96 minutes between the two bigs. Wallace will get 30-35, Thomas should get at least 20-25. Noah will probably 15-20 and Gray another 5-10. That's 70-90 minutes with 6-26 available. (And of course this has no mention of Nocioni playing for the Bulls)

And so, I guess, theoretically, that would work for next year. But by the following year, 2008-2009, there's going to be even less available for Mohammed. And I'd almost guarantee, by his second year, Noah will be outperforming Mohammed.

Maybe if it were one or even two years. But for someone who's about to turn 30, it's just too long.

Yes, of course.

yeah
the time is the main problem with it.

If Nazr was any good
would he have sat buried behind 57 year old C-Webb?
And with the 9th pick the Bulls select...

by bullshooter on Jul 5, 2007 9:37 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

actually...
one of the main reasons I was so eager to shit on the Pistons aquisition of Webber was that Nazr was outperforming him that season. Webber played much better than he did in Philly though (though faded back to corpsedom eventually)

That said, Nazr's strength is not scoring, it's rebounding. Bulls need scoring. If you're going to give a big man a long-term deal I'd rather give it to Noc than Nazr. Although Nazr is taller, and that seems to be the only thing anyone cares about.

Nazr
is Malik Allen + 1.5 additional rebounds and a lower FT percentage.  Which will sign cheaper for the same roster spot?
