is there any possibility of getting Louis Scola .?.

[manu the best]

i really hope we get Scola this summer .. his a free agent ..

[ChumpDumper]

There is no possibility.

[TIMMYD!]

No.

[Marcjg983]

Can you explain why we wouldnt be able to get him? From what I know he loves the Spurs. How much do you think he will be asking for? I dont know much about how contracts all the different rules work when it comes to that stuff. So please forgive me for being curious.

[Bender]

is he friends with manu? if so, seems he'd like to play with manu on the same team.

[ChumpDumper]

The Spurs only have the midlevel exception to sign free agents outright. It is very likely the Rockets would match such an offer. Anyway the Spurs are more likely to use the midlevel on Splitter.

Scola thread?

[ChumpDumper]

!

[Cane]

It'd be a mistake even if it was possible. Spurs don't need anymore undersized players.

[Marcjg983]

Thanks ChumpDumper for your insight. I dont know much about this kind of stuff, but I'm sure I'll learn over the summer

[ChumpDumper]

Thanks ChumpDumper for your insight. I dont know much about this kind of stuff, but I'm sure I'll learn over the summerOh yes, you'll see a lot of this talk here and in the think tank. Bruno is the best source of information on that kind of thing.

I suppose some kind of trade could happen, but that seems just as unlikely to me.

[ShoogarBear]

Louis?

And Chump missed it?

I got someone better.

His name is Tiago Splitter
They also call him.. 'The savior'...

Please don't fuck this up Pop and R.C. :depressed
You'd think they'd learn their lesson from trading Scola away to divisional rival.

[Bender]

even with Pop's & RC's comments about expecting a "low activity" summer with no big deals, I bet it won't damper ST's 2 dozen a day blockbuster deal ideas.

Offseason entertainment nevertheless...

[TMTTRIO]

Well one of my friends who is a regular season ticket holder said that she saw him at the game last night waiting around for Manu. Pretty interesting anyways. Oh and don't forget the other Spurs playoff game he went to in Dallas.

[ChumpDumper]

Louis?

And Chump missed it?That makes it even less possible.

[Brazil]

sure.... in your wet dreams

[it's me]

no...shut up and die already.

[kaji157]

The best chance you got to have Scola here is to do a sign n trade with Houston, they will most likely want one bigmen in return, so you either give them Blair or you resign Bonner and send him along with cash considerations (for them to waive him) and Splitter rights.

I don´t think by any means that Splitter is a better player than Scola, but i think he is somewhat more appropiate for the Spurs, as McDyess isreally a PF, Blair is a PF and Duncan is the only legit C we have. Scola would be just another PF, evendoe he plays C very well on offense he really lacks on defense in that position.

What to do next year? You´ll have at least 3 millions of the MLE on Splitter, and after that you get 2.5 millions of the Midlevel and the Bi-anual exception and some minium salary exceptions if needed.
So you sign Splitter for as long and as cheaper as you can, and you use what is left from the MLE on the best 3pt shooting 3 you can get. Given what we saw this playoffs i would try to add as much 3pt shooters as i could, and if possible i would try to trade Nocioni for Jefferson, i think he fits very nice what we look for on a SF, he plays very good PF if needed and doesn´t need a lot of shots.

after proving that he can score consistently and take big roles scola is likely to be rocket's first option, too bad.
he's not a great defender though.

Yeah, in part because he is my countrymen and in part because he has did it throuout his career i expect him to improve that this offseason, and i expect to see him a lot better already by World Championship with Argentina.

He has always been a hard worked and has always improve his game on whatever aspect the competition forced him to. Like he improved a lot his JS in Spain, or how he improved his rebounding to come to the NBA i have no doubt he will improve his defense, he already improved a lot his PnR defense and i expect him to become a better one on one defender.

[DJ Mbenga]

when did scola become french?

[kromediablo]

i dont really care for scola at this point in the career. yeah maybe early on when the spurs couldnt afford him. id rather move on.

[4>0rings]

:lmao

[Lars]

Scola isnt available. Perhaps you are interested in Jackie Butler?

[sabar]

Scola is a restricted free agent and Houston can match any offer by any other team. The only chance we have to pry him in free agency is by overpaying, but we have no money as we are over the cap. Rockets will match the MLE, guaranteed. Plus another team would offer more than our MLE anyways.

[temujin]

No.

[OrEmuN]

Sign-and-trade is the only way. Daryl Morey is pretty high on +/- but I think even it will be hard to convince him that Bonner the king of +/- is the way to go....

[wildbill2u]

Zero chance. I live in Houston and see a lot of their games. He is so good for them that he is a most important player on their list of free agents.

Besides, why would he want to come to the Spurs who rejected him.

[Agloco]

There is no possibility.

This. Threads should be auto-locked by the system if the words "Luis" or "Scola" appear in the title or in the body of the first post.

dunno, BTW where is his wife from?

jejejje, BTW the OP wrote Louis so you should include that name :wow

[PDXSpursFan]

No Scola. He's undersized and his game doesn't translate to the NBA :rolleyes

[cantthinkofanything]

I like the way you think Magoo. He's more athletic than Bonner and shoots 3's just as well. Antoine Walker is trying to make a comeback. This could be our starting 5:

Tony Parker
George Hill
Jackie Butler
Antoine Walker
Christian Slater

[Cherry]

i really hope we get Scola this summer .. his a free agent ..

Not possible :(

Be happy if we get Tiago. :wakeup

I still want Nocioni. :depressed

[MmP]

we could have gotten delfino, but wel...
Noc i like

[ooshmay]

sure.... in your wet dreams


haha awesome.

[Man In Black]

I'm cool with Nocioni. Can he come in on a partial LLE to run flex cut with Manu? I'm being serious.

[slacker77]

What is team is noc playing for now anyway?How is his contract sitting?

[MmP]

he's got a bit of a big contract but he's not even playing in sac having a real bad time
a bull like him needs to play
i hope we could somehow land him he plays great for conteders
