According to Spurs.com, the team has acquired Matt Bonner, Eric Williams and a 2009 second round draft pick from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Rasho Nesterovic.
Williams was not happy with his limited role in Toronto and the distance from which he was seperated from his son, which will be even farther in San Antonio.
Bonner, a fan favorite in Toronto, will have to get used to a new atmosphere around Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker in San Antonio.
Nesterovic's role with the Spurs was diminished by seasons end after coach Gregg Popovich went in another direction in the middle for the Spurs.
The big Slovenian will be looked to as the Raptors' only true center |

Nice for the Raps now they got a true Center, also the Spurs unloaded a big K, and have a possible veteran contributor on Williams, nice trade for both teams.

| Better for the Spurs is they unload a bloated contract and pick up some expiring contracts. |

| Makes me wonder if they are stockpiling bigs to deal Villanueva and/or #1 pick to get an experienced guard or scorer. |

The Raptors have been desperate for a center. They tried to get Zo, but he didn't want to go. They got the kid from BYU, who was supposed to be more NBA ready, but was not. Full-sized centers are hard to find, which is why Mihm is valuable. A Mihm, who hasn't peaked is better than a 30 year old Rasho.
