Still less than what Richard Jefferson got

[sefant77]

So who was laughing about Haywoods ~5/45?

[djohn2oo8]

lol u comparing Scola to Haywood, what does Haywood do?

[Spursfan092120]

I think he's laughing at the Jew Lies comment. KBP said earlier that PAO was going to go after Scola, because Houston wasn't trying to sign him.

[sefant77]

lol u comparing Scola to Haywood, what does Haywood do?

Ask Dwight Howard.

[DAF86]

So who was laughing about Haywoods ~5/45?

Considering that Scola >>> Haywood, I'm sure not Mavs fans.

[djohn2oo8]

why do you have pitt panthers in your sig

steal of the draft

[dirk4mvp]

First Brad Miller, now this guy.

Rockets staaaaaaacked.

[sefant77]

Considering that Scola >>> Haywood, I'm sure not Mavs fans.

Na, both guys are same good. It just depends if your team needs more a 4 or a true 5.

And both got normal bigmen contracts.

Just wanted to point to the "overpaid" laughers.

Really? Talk about delusiion

[sefant77]

talk about your embarassing homerism

[FalleNxWiZarDx]

:lmao:lmao:lmao


almost making what lebron is making now

[DAF86]

Na, both guys are same good.

No, they aren't. Scola can be a 20 ppg guy if given the chance, Haywood can't.

[dirk4mvp]

lol argentina nazi homerism

[DAF86]

lol best low post player since I don't know what other ex-Mavs scrub.

[redzero]

Hey, didn't the Spurs have Scola at one point? lol

[dirk4mvp]

lol not good enough to be a #1 on the Rockets with Yao constantly injured

[sefant77]

No, they aren't. Scola can be a 20 ppg guy if given the chance, Haywood can't.

And you cant teach size and defense on the 5. And you cant get it easily with your MLE etc.

But you can get way more easy guys for the PF that give you 16-20 points.

Thats the point.

Its a 30min 10-10-2 7-0 center vs a 30min 16/8 6-9 PF...

Or do you wanna discuss now the teams that would pick right now this summer Haywood over Scola if they have the choice?

[DAF86]

Or do you wanna discuss now the teams that would pick right now this summer Haywood over Scola if they have the choice?

I'm just saying that Scola is clearly the better player.

[freddy79]

This is more than 9 mil. per year. Seems to me just a good deal for both parts, maybe a little overpaid, even if I said he was going to get 8-10 milions. Scola is a very good PF, the way he played he deserved a good deal...

[sefant77]

I'm just saying that Scola is clearly the better player.

And for me they have the same value to a team depending if they need a 4 or 5.

[DAF86]

And for me they have the same value to a team depending if they need a 4 or 5.

Haywood isn't even a starter.

[djohn2oo8]

lol not good enough to be a #1 on the Rockets with Yao constantly injured

We know what Dirk did as a #1, let's not go there

[sefant77]

Haywood isn't even a starter.

Lets play the games "Where Haywood would start"?

[DAF86]

Its a 30min 10-10-2 7-0 center vs a 30min 16/8 6-9 PF...

Why do Mavs fans like drawing numbers so much?

Haywood: 9.1 ppg, 9.2 rbds

Scola: 16.2, 8.6 rbds

[djohn2oo8]

Lets play the games "Where Haywood would start"?

Easy, NOWHERE

[DAF86]

Lets play the games "Where Haywood would start"?

Why? All I know is that he won't start for the team that gave him a 5yrs 45 mil contract (or was it 6 yrs 55 mil?).

[sefant77]

Easy, NOWHERE

Ah kiddie just grow up with ur small homer dick

[FkLA]

9 mill a season seems reasonable for his current production, the end of that contract might be rough cause isnt he 30 or close to that age? But he played for Houston practically for free the first few years so he deserves those last few years. This seems like a fair deal, not great though.

Also lol @ Mavs fan trying to justify 5 yrs-55 mill for Brendan fucking Haywood. First Bowlbwall is the savior and next Isiah and now Haywood is as good as Scola.

[Shastafarian]

Why? All I know is that he won't start for the team that gave him a 5yrs 45 mil contract (or was it 6 yrs 55 mil?).
This one

[dirk4mvp]

We know what Dirk did as a #1, let's not go there

Winning 1 regular season game would be more than Scola has done as a #1 option. Try not to be so retarded.

[sefant77]

Why? All I know is that he won't start for the team that gave him a 5yrs 45 mil contract (or was it 6 yrs 55 mil?).

Haywood will start and Chandler will come off the bench.

6/55 but last year unguaranteed Dampier style so in real its 5/45.

[dirk4mvp]

Easy, NOWHERE

Is that why Miami wanted him?

[sefant77]

Also lol @ Mavs fan trying to justify 5 yrs-55 mill for Brendan fucking Haywood. First Bowlbwall is the savior and next Isiah and now Haywood is as good as Scola.

lol idiot

And must be too hard for your small brain to understand what i meant with Scola same good as Haywood.

[FkLA]

Is that why Miami wanted him?

not for 6yrs 55 million they didnt


lol idiot

lol overpaid either way

lol 2nd time that fag Cuban gives a big contract to a Center who played well his contract yr

lol 6 ppg, 6 rpg, 1 bpg Center before last yr

[djohn2oo8]

Is that why Miami wanted him?

If Miami was his only market than I guess he should be a starter

[djohn2oo8]

Winning 1 regular season game would be more than Scola has done as a #1 option. Try not to be so retarded.

Cool!

I knew the Suns were sniffin' after him. He's not for them.

Good signage.

[ElNono]

Good deal for Luis. :tu

[Danny.Zhu]

I'm surprised to see there is debates about who is better between Scola and Haywood...

[FkLA]

poor retard

says the guy that thinks brenda fucking haywood deserves a 6 yr-$55 million contract...even more pathetic that you didnt learn your lesson with Ericka when it comes to guys playing well in contract years.

5 bucks says Brenda wont come close to sniffing a double-double next year...will put up 6 ppg & 6 rpg like most of his career.

[Trill Clinton]

Good for him..you're welcome Houston.

[Ron Ron Artest]

hahah the scola/haywood comparisons are hilarious....

Scola's deal looks real good when you see that Haywood got the same thing. What a ripoff.

Scola is dependable night after night and is more than worth what he is getting paid. At least you can give the ball to Scola and expect him to have a great chance of creating his own shot.... and score.

I would hate to see what haywood would produce given a chance to create his own shot and actually come out with two points.... chances are small that would ever actually happen. Not to mention that Haywood has done NOTHING his entire career while Scola has proven he can play.

What a joke these comparisons are.

I should have known it, Rockets fans are just too stupid to understand simple things. I also didnt compare the players 1:1 like you are trying now to do with that "creating his shot" blabla.

Houston has really the dumbest fans in the league, Clutchfans is a pile of shit with blind homerism.

I didnt compare the players Scola and Haywood and who is the better player. I compared the value of Scola as a PF in the NBA and the value of Haywood as a center in this league. How many good to great PF are in the league? How many good to great center? Way less. Thats why every damn center get 1-2 million more than he should.

Thats why Scola and Haywood got both reasonable contracts for their performance and mainly position (!).

Thats why Rockets fans should stop laughing about 45/5 for Haywood after resigning Lowry and Scola to such contracts.

Yet you justify every fuckup Cuban makes

[sefant77]

dumbjohn still too dumb

Haywood got the market contract.

Damp got with "true" 59/6 his market value in 2004

Scola got his market value

But yes sure, try to cheap out for 5-10 million on Haywood to see him leave and being left with a blakc hole at the 5.

Thats why Morey paid off Scola and Lowry too. Maybe move ur head first out of Moreys ass to see the light again

[djohn2oo8]

9 point ecstasy worth that contract? lol ok

[sefant77]

Yes, the most important factor of a center is scoring.

[DAF86]

Haywood got the market contract.

I seriously doubt some other team would have signed Haywood to that kind of contract.

[djohn2oo8]

I seriously doubt some other team would have signed Haywood to that kind of contract.

The Cuban market is different from all else

[sefant77]

I seriously doubt some other team would have signed Haywood to that kind of contract.

So tell me which teams if they had his birth rights and no other center.

[DAF86]

Didn't understand the question.

6/55 but last year unguaranteed Dampier style so in real its 5/45.

Scola last year is only partially guaranteed...

[DaDakota]

Since the Landry trade and he stopped splitting time.

22pts, and 9 boards.

The dude can play the game.

DD

[FkLA]

lol retard

the mavs wont pay him 55 million.

try to check the facts first idiot.

cool, last yr is unguaranteed...you act like 5 yrs-45 mill still isnt overpaying.

fact check for you-- that much for a 6-7 ppg, 6-7 rpg, 1 bpg guy is overpaying son. cue your comeback that his 10 ppg 10 rpg year had absolutely nothing to do with his contract yr and that brenda will put up similar numbers from here on out despite being a lazy sack of shit before he was trying to get a big payday.

[Indazone]

:lol So Scola is not going to PAO after all. So much for Greek Rumor that Rockets would not pay Scola. Oh and yes Scola did originally belong to the Spurs. We got him cause the Spurs wanted to keep Bonner for 5 mil. Thank you again Spurs :)

[ChumpDumper]

:lol So Scola is not going to PAO after all. So much for Greek Rumor that Rockets would not pay Scola. Oh and yes Scola did originally belong to the Spurs. We got him cause the Spurs wanted to keep Bonner for 5 mil. Thank you again Spurs :)They didn't want to pay the luxury tax for Jackie Butler.

And Bonner never made 5 million in a season.

[Indazone]

Spurs resigned Bonner for something like 3 mil and Jackie Butler's contract was worth an additional 2 mil for a total of 5 mill between the two. But my point I was trying to make was was that resigning Bonner cost the same as signing Scola.

Luis Scola is a free agent after his contract with the Houston Rockets expired last season. The Argentinian 30-year-old forward is expecting an offer from the Rockets, but is also considering other options. As his agent Claudio Villanueva confirmed, Scola has attracted the interest of the Nets, and has also two offers from European team. According to the Greek media, Panathinaikos could be one of them. The Greek club could be also interested in two other NBA players, still under contract: the Spanish guard Rudy Fernández, from the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Argentinian forward Andrés Nocioni, recently traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.

UPDATE: Panathinaikos has denied any interest in signing Luis Scola.

This is for guys who trust in Greek media...:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[ezau]

The comparison between Brenda and Scola is beyond retarted. I'd take one Scola over five Brendas.

[sefant77]

just retards thinks its about a comparison

[mystargtr34]

I think Haywood and Scola are comparable. One is clearly a better offensive player, the other clearly a better defensive player. Although it doesnt surprise me the guy who scores more points is looked at favourably.

[Indazone]

Scola is way better than Haywood. When has Haywood ever scored 44 pts in a game?

[O.J Mayo]

Scola is way better than Haywood. When has Haywood ever scored 44 pts in a game?

I guess Kobe Bryant is way better than Michael Jordan too. When has Michael Jordan scored 81 in a game?

[Indazone]

When Scola gets minutes instead of splitting time with Landry, he's 22 pts, 9 rebounds. Easily could get 20-10 this year.

[Cry Havoc]

That's a pretty awesome deal for the Rockets. Less than 10 million for a very good post player.

[DAF86]

When Scola gets minutes instead of splitting time with Landry, he's 22 pts, 9 rebounds. Easily could get 20-10 this year.

No way that happens with Yao back and with Brooks and Martin on the team.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

DAF86 what is Argentine national team this summer?

is like this maybe?

PG Prigioni/Van Lacke/Garcia
SG Delfino/Quinteros
SF Nocioni/Kammerichs
PF Scola/Gutierrez
C Oberto/Gonzalez/Gutierrez

Or is Fernandez in team this time as backup point guard? What about Jasen? I look for him in team roster at FIBA site and he is not list there? He is excellent player and should be in the team.

[DAF86]

I think the definite list hasn't been announced yet. Here's the 17 men list:

Pablo Prigioni, Juan Figueroa, Juan Fernández, Juan Cantero, Carlos Delfino, Paolo Quinteros, Andrés Nocioni, Matías Sandes, Hernán Jasen, Federico Kammerichs, Marcos Mata, Luis Scola, Leonardo Gutiérrez, Fabricio Oberto, Román González y Juan Gutiérrez

IMO, the definite list will be this:

PG: Prigioni, Fernandez
SG: Delfino, Quinteros
SF: Nocioni, Jasen, Kammerichs
PF: Scola, L.Gutierrez
C: Oberto, Gonzalez, J.Gutierrez

Ah yes so Jasen is there. Very strong team.

[DAF86]

Ah yes so Jasen is there. Very strong team.

Third place at best, imho. 5th to 8th place more probable scenario. No Manu really hurt us.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Third place at best, imho. 5th to 8th place more probable scenario. No Manu really hurt us.

With such a roster and I also think Van Lacke and Garcia is good players Argentina is very dangerous team.

I would say Spain and Greece is stronger and Argentina is not so far from US team and even can beat them.

Third to fourth place is very possible for such a roster. I believe will be Greece and Argentina in the semifinal this time. Keep in mind many of the best Greek players decided not to play. I think Greece's roster will be stronger but you still have chance to win that one. And so Manu is not playing but neither is Papaloukas.

Should be US-Spain and Greece-Argentina in semis. You still have chance with such roster.

Of course if you lose to Serbia in group stage this will ruin everything for you probably. Serbia is very strong team.
