스콜라와의 계약이 그의 전 소속팀에 대한 엄청난 바이아웃 금액으로 인해 무산되는 가운데, 같은 아르헨티나 출신 센터 오베르토와 계약 합의에 도달했다고 합니다.

스퍼스 입장에선 스콜라 영입이 포화상태에 이른 파워포워드 진에 의해 약간은 의문을 가지게 됐으나 이젠 센터를 영입하게 됐군요.

Oberto captained Argentine team that beat Team USABy Chad Ford

The San Antonio Spurs have made yet another international coup, it appears.
<br>
<br>
The Spurs have come to an agreement in principle with Argentinean center Fabrico Oberto, according to his agent, Herb Rudoy.
<br>
<br>
Oberto, who averaged 14.2 ppg and 7.3 rpg for Parmesa in Spain this season, is widely regarded as one of the top five players in Europe.
<br>
<br>
He was the team captain of the Argentina team that defeated Team USA at the 2002 World Championships. He dropped 28 points on Yugoslavia's Vlade Divac in the finale of that tournament.
<br>
<br>
Oberto is a warrior in the paint with polished moves around the post. He's a good scorer, rebounder and defender who has the toughness and aggressiveness to be an excellent role player in the league. He's also a great passer in the post and frequently draws comparisons to Divac on that skill. Don't be surprised if he is the Spurs starting center on opening night.
<br>
<br>
Oberto has been hotly pursued by NBA teams for years but has never shown much interest in the past. He's one of the highest paid players in Europe and has been content to be a star over there.
<br>
<br>
The fact that he turns thirty this year, is considered a little undersized to play center in the NBA (he's barely 6-10 in shoes) and has the free throw touch of Shaq (45 percent from the line) has hurt his free agent stock in the past two years.
<br>
<br>
The move by the Spurs means that it's unlikely they will bring over their other Argentinean big man, Luis Scola, this season. The Spurs drafted Scola in the second round of the 2002 NBA Draft, but have been unable to bring him over because of an enormous buyout provision with his team Tau Ceramica.

선수진짜 잘고른다..
오베르토라.. 6-10의 센터인데, 올림픽 때 4강전에 부상당해서 결승전에는 뛰지를 못했던 것으로 기억이 되네여. 게임을 시디에 구어났는데, 다시 봐 볼까나.. 스퍼스에서 15분정도 출장시간을 보장받을수 인는지 모르겠네여.
이걸로 라쇼나 나즈 둘중하나는 처분인가;;
