	Newsvine - Spurs Send Nesterovic to Toronto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs traded center Rasho Nesterovic and cash to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday for forwards Matt Bonner and Eric Williams and a second-round pick in 2009.
		The 30-year-old Nesterovic has $23.5 million and three years left on his contract, while Bonner and Williams are entering the final year of their contracts.
		Nesterovic signed with San Antonio three summers ago with the unenviable task of replacing David Robinson — numerically, that is, as no one expected him to live up to the Admiral's standards.

		Rasho Nesterovic, center, knows his defense and rebounding are key contributions to the Spurs' success this season.
		While Nesterovic's main role seems to be to deal with O'Neal at the defensive end, he did have 10 points Sunday, including four in a row early in the fourth period that broke a 69-69 tie and gave the Spurs a 73-69 lead they never relinquished.
		Nesterovic, who struggled early in the season, gained a lot of confidence when Duncan missed nine games in late February and early March with a knee injury and the Spurs relied on him more.

	SLAM! Sports - Basketball Toronto Raptors - Rasho gets pumped up
		Rasho Nesterovic is more adept with rebounds than rim shots, but he did provide reporters with a laugh yesterday.
		In a conference call from his native Slovenia yesterday, Nesterovic assured everyone he is excited to be going from a perpetual winner, where he played alongside Tim Duncan, to a team that hasn't qualified for the playoffs in four years.
		Nesterovic added he is looking forward to playing under head coach Sam Mitchell, the same guy he played with for four seasons at Minnesota.

	City Pages - Gentle Giant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		During his first year in the league, Rasho's foot work, court sense, hands, and passing skills were fairly refined for a 23-year old kid, but the Slovenian native was woefully soft battling for rebounds and challenging opponents who drove toward the basket--the classic pros and cons of a native European.
		While Rasho will likely never be a guy who prevails with brute force or a nasty attitude, this year he is much more active fighting for rebounds at both ends of the court; I bet he's already tipped in more errant shots than he did during all of last season.
		If Rasho were to tumble back into the psychological trough of last season, it would be a "major disappointment," in a much different way than when I used those words to describe him earlier in the year.

		In spite of that, Nesterovic has the potential to have a great tournament here in Serbia and Montenegro playing with a team that will need every point, rebound and block he can bring them and likely doing whatever it takes to make sure their big man gets the touches and minutes to do that.
		Nesterovic is a big body with good length and the basic all-around skills a modern Center needs to earn a nice paycheck for as long as his body allows him to.
		Rasho has always been an extremely inconsistent player, not always looking all that focused or interested in what is going on around him and often lacking the drive to live up to his full potential as a player.
