For the curious:
Stein said it’s not immedately known how many teams bid for Scola, beyond the Suns and Dallas Mavericks.
nothing unusallyQuote:

As for the Suns, locking up a 32-year old power forward on the decline doesn't make much sense but whatever. Who knows what Babby/Sarver are even trying to do.
maybe spurs should ask if they want manu
suns would overpay they are stupid
Just got back home and heard the news... good luck to Luis in Phoenix
how about tony parker for dragic+scola?Quote:

That ship has not only sailed, it's has sunk, and been sold for scrap. JC has been AWFUL since his return from overseas.Quote:

Scola is on the wrong side of 30 and will be in decline. He is already not the most athleticlly inclined and that will only get worse.
Black Bonner? No thanks.Quote:

i've always liked frye. but i don't see a situation where they'd want to trade him for what we have.Quote:

$4.3M per year? That's not even THAT great of a discount, tbh. He'd probably get $5M on the open market.
Aren't the Suns overstocked with PF's. Frye, Morris, Beasley, Scola, Warrick. Plus they still have Lopez.
