magicbalala245 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 The Pistons waived Fabricio Oberto this afternoon, returning the former Spurs big man to the free agent pool. Traded last week in the deal that brought Richard Jefferson from Milwaukee, and then promptly shipped to Detroit, Oberto would have to wait a league-mandated 20 days to re-sign with the Spurs. It remains to be seen how hard the Spurs will pursue him. Much will depend on what kind of other free-agent bigs the Spurs are able to lure during free agency, as well as on how rookie DeJuan Blair pans out over the summer. Meanwhile, Bruce Bowen -- another piece of the Jefferson trade -- is expected to join Oberto on the market, eventually. The Bucks have until Aug. 1 to set Bowen loose and avoid paying the guaranteed portion of his contract ($2 million). The Spurs are not expected to bring Bowen back should he become a free agent.
