Luis Scola

[BranderC]

Scola's contract is only partially guaranteed, and it seems reasonably likely that Indy could end up cutting him. We know that the FO likes the guy, and at this point in his career he would probably be good for ~8-10 minutes a night to save wear on Timmy. Good passer, high BBIQ, not a defensive liability, good enough scorer to keep his man honest.

Sign-and-trade Bonner?

[Mugen]

Only if they take Errors back.

[Malik Hairston]

I'd beg to differ about Scola being a defensive liability, he definitely is, tbh:lol..

He's got slow feet, and he quits on plays pretty easily. Might work harder for a contender though - and he can ride the pine for the Playoffs, I'm just thinking about a quality source of regular-season PF minutes who's smart enough to be slotted into the system.

[T Park]

If he's willing to come cheap, I'd bring him in no question. Perfect regular season minutes eater next to Splitter. Allows to rest Duncan even more during the regale season as well.

[Biernutz]

Scola has lost more than a step and would probably cost more than Matt will now.....

[johnpaulwall21]

He's done.

[Gummi Clutch]

Scola would be GREAT. Dude looked like the 2nd best player on the pacers at times in the playoffs. He would be expensive though...

The Spurs have really turned back the clock, even for the fans.

[ElNono]

Scola thread!

[exstatic]

That ship has sailed.

[T Park]

Eh, again, he would eat early regular season minutes. Put some points, play opposite of Baynes or splitter.

In the right situation he's not that bad. If need be Manu could talk him into it. There's worse options.

[Random5843]

Only if he takes pictures frogging with Manu Patty and Co.

[spursparker9]

I see no difference between Scola and KG nowadays

Nah

[Johnny RIngo]

There's worse options.

There's better options too.

[BranderC]

There's better options too.

Such as? I'm willing to see where the Baynes experiment goes, but I'm not convinced that Ayres is still gonna be wearing silver and black in 2015. We want to keep Timmy's minutes low, but we don't want to disrupt the flow of The System(tm) by slotting in some idiot off the street. Pop won't do it. Who else do you think we could get to spell Duncan who (1) would be better than Scola, and (2) might be available for cheap?

The problem with Scola is that i don´t think he will be available for the Cheap. Pretty sure Houston will push for him and i wouldn´t be surprised if either the Heat and OKC won´t also look for him given that both teams are looking for a player that can post up and pass.

[TheGreatYacht]

Great. Another no defense, washed up, euro league player

Are American players a sin here in ST?

[urunobili]

I want Scola to ring too :cry

Hell, I'd be okay with that too tbh. Those are three teams I'm worried about next year, and Scola is *not* the answer for any of them. If Houston or OKC wants to overpay for him, that's money that doesn't go to fixing their real problems, and something tells me that when Pat Riley makes his pitch for keeping the band together the words "Luis Scola" will not feature prominently.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

We already have our bigs, we don't need a PF, we need a backup SF.

[elemento]

If the Pacers waive him and he is willing to come here for cheap. Yeah easily. His defense is crap but his mid-range game is still money.

Timmy/Splitter/Diaw/Scola is a very good front-court rotation.

[kaji157]

Agreed, Spurs should call up Paul Pierce.

[SpurPadre]

Repeat after me: NO. MORE. OLD. FUCKS.

Agreed, Scola is done.

Spurs have become

FAR TOO DYNAMIC

to turn back to the old vets,

who scores 4,

and gives up 20.

Just let it go.

Fuck Scola. Why would the Spurs have any use for him with Duncan, Splitter, Diaw, Baynes, and Ayres on the roster? Bonner would be a way better signing at this point of their respective careers.

[SnakeBoy]

I see no difference between Scola and KG nowadays

Yeah I can picture it now...Scola comes here, does THAT once, and Pop has him riding the pine for the rest of the season.

:lol It really does feel nostalgic that way. Makes me remember how good the glory days were and how these last few years have brought it all back.

[mVp]

Scola thread!

lol the good ol' times man :lol

[jeebus]

Yes, because the one thing missing from winning the championship this season was a washed up fuck who can't jump. :tu solid thread.

[BranderC]

Durant got tired. LeBron got tired. Timmy had to walk all the way to the bank to cash his social security checks and he still wasn't tired, because we found guys to help us win regular season games with Tim riding pine. If you don't think Scola can play ten quality minutes a night against mediocre teams you must not have watched many Pacers games last year. He's not great, he's not gonna get great, but he's not washed up. What, you'd rather have Bonner?

[Mikeanaro]

Can we get Shaq too? come on guys Luis is fucking done it would be a nice deal having him 5 years ago but now he is pretty useless, we have a great team and lots of young legs with our current pieces we can make another big playoff run to repeat too bad Manu will play for NT but thats not what this thread is about.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Coming up next on SpursTalk:

- Finley you suck! :bang
- Brent Barry CAN'T defend
- Rasho IS SOFT :cuss
- Where do the Spurs get a long, athletic 3?
- Trade Beno
- Trade idea: Ginobili+Parker+picks for Kidd+Vinsanity
- Draft prospect: Tiago Splitter
- Why did the FO trade Malik? :cry
- Free Agency: Matt Bonner

[100%duncan]

Tbh Id rather have Bonner

[Emperor]

Might aswell bring in Carlos Delfino and Pepe Sanchez while you're at it.

you obvious have a bias against foreigners.. i mean, it's pretty clear after reading all your garbage and putting it all together...

let me give you a newsflash - it will get worse for you - you should be thinking right now of a cabin in the mountains with water, etc to last a long time... they are coming.....

[spursparker9]

Scola was done the moment he left houston.

You mad... Or nawwww

[Raven]

scola not a defensive liability? anyway, i love the player, but he is done.

[Raven]

Might aswell bring in Carlos Delfino and Pepe Sanchez while you're at it.

delfino i would tbh

[dbreiden83080]

About 7 years too late..

[kuato]

He is done? ... Like Manu was last year?...

[apalisoc_9]

Scola is one of the worst big men in defending the PnR..Can't block shots.

- The only way I'd be happy with a socla signing is if he replaces Errors as the 14th man...Otherwise, Bobo and tiago is enough to back timmy.
