Luis Scola on trading block?

According to shamsports.com, his last year is unguaranteed unless certain milestones are met. Not sure what those milestones are, but it does make his contract a little better.

Not that I want him. I think the Scola ship set sail a long time ago.

Maybe Scola was just mad about the almost-trade but I wouldn't take that $30 million gamble.

Everyone bullies Scola. This was confirmed when Kevin Love stomped his face and Scola didn't do anything about it.

He'd be the best big to play alongside Tim since the Admiral set sail, by far. They should enquire about him for sure.

He's a pretty poor defender though. That's the main problem. I think he'd be OK offensively, but he's not very good on defense.

I don't care what the front office says or does by moving to an offensive approach, you still gotta be able to play good defense to win it.

Defense in my main priority. RIM protection, at the top of my list. I want the lane closed for 48 minutes and anyone that tries to come into it to be sent away.

Scola doesn't help in that area at all.

Houston and Brooklyn were deep in discussions on trade for Luis Scola on Saturday, but talks fell apart before completion, sources tell Y!

Big summer ahead for the Nets. I read Mayo is in there plans, and it appears that Howard wants to play there now.

Scola needs to play next to a good defensive center. Duncan needs help not more work.

I agree. We know we can score a 100 any given game. We just need to be able to ensure other teams can't and we win it all. What failed us against the Thunder wasn't our offense but our defense.

Superstar-driven business.
Spurs have no superstar, hence won't win anything.
Scola could a be great piece for a truely contending team.

Blair/Bonner for Scola?

You guys should really try to learn reading comprehension, my only point was against the poster whom I replied who said that his was one of the few trades that worked "money wise", go and re-read. Some of you just confirmed that there are more and all proved to be just stupid
