The Rockets still have to sign Scola and according to his agent, George Bass, that could happen within a few days.

"I think the contract will come together very quickly and I see it coming together by this weekend or early next week," Bass said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports.

NBA sources told FOX 26 Friday that the Rockets already have the wheels in motion for Scola to take a physical in Buenos Aires once a contract agreement is reached.

"Our whole (agency) group is excited about getting Luis traded to Houston." Bass said.

Wish him well and can't wait to see how he does against the Spurs. Its going to be interesting.

[ArgSpursFan]

I hope that too.A dream come true for Luis.
Too bad I was hoping to see him play in a spur uniform.

[SenorSpur]

Spurs should try defending him with Melvin Ely - oh wait, he's gone.

[Marcus Bryant]

Odd how fast Scola is signed when his rights end up with another club.

[Mr. Body]

Scola's agent has had this contract prepared for over two years now.

Yeah, I wonder how long Scola has been willing to sign for 3 years, $10 mil or so.

[MoSpur]

I'm interested to see how much Houston gives him

For as long as the Spurs have been lying about it.

Not too odd when you look at the position and the roster. The Rockets desperately needed a change at PF. They were getting nothing out of that position. They may throw big money at him to outbid Tau since they're desperate. How that will affect their ability to sign other players is a big question over here in Houston although most folks are happy about Scola.

The Spurs on the other hand have a pretty good player who seems to be entrenched there for the next few years and an expensive Scola as backup wasn't really in their plans it looks like.

How much was Bonner's contract?

[ArgSpursFan]

I´ve been saying over and over that,the spurs have been telling shit about Luis.
They just didn´t wanna pay him 3 M p/year in his first contract,so they excused them self talking shit about the player.
Fucking cheap motherfuckers.

Golly, so far getting worse and older every fucking year has meant three championships in five years and a sweep in the last Finals.

Stop your bitching, we dont even know how good Scola will be and they got young bigs coming next year. Spurs havent gotten worse at all

[SequSpur]

Scola is better than at least 6 of the Spurs currently under guaranteed contract. Wake the fuck up.

Cause youve already seen his game in the NBA right?

[spurQ]

Would everybody stop arguing. We have $7 mil and and the rest of the off season to fill in a spot. What's done is done. Can we please move on!!

[SequSpur]

He fricking played just fine against Team USA. WTF?

That was the best team the US could field and he was a star.

WTF?

[picnroll]

How well does Scola spread the floor?

[mardigan]

He fricking played just fine against Team USA. WTF?

WTF?
Until he plays in the NBA against an NBA team every night I dont care what he did in a Euro tourney
Carlos Arroyo lit up team USA before and he is great too right?

[Doc Jerome]

Wow. You cats are really passionate about this. You all argue with great vigor. :fro

[K-State Spur]

He fricking played just fine against Team USA.

So did Shea Seals - SHEA SEALS!!!!! - and that was back when you could still call them the 'Dream Team.'

"Hey, why are we backing up? What do you mean, driveway? We have to go forward!. Hey, we're supposed to be going north, you are going east. NORTH, motherfucker, NORTH!"

Rockets Reach 'Basic Agreement' With Scola
July 13, 2007 - 7:34 pm
Houston Chronicle -
The Rockets have come to a "basic agreement" with Argentine star Luis Scola, less than 24 hours after acquiring his draft rights from the San Antonio Spurs , the Houston Chronicle is reporting.

"We're working on the contract, but we've got a basic agreement, an understanding," George Bass, Scola's agent said Friday.

"He's actually taking the physical right now in Argentina."

The Rockets traded guard Vassilis Spanoulis, a 2009 second-round draft pick and cash to the Spurs for the rights to Scola and center Jackie Butler.

Scola is expected to sign a three-year deal worth roughly $10 million.

"He's so excited, he probably didn't sleep a wink last night." Bass said.

"He's thrilled, this has been his dream for five years."

[Solid D]

RC Buford said following this trade that they wanted to give Luis an opportunity to play in the NBA. That should tell you all you need to know about how hard the Spurs tried to sign him.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]
