well,the monthly salary and bonuses are guaranted by the #of games they play in the season,and as far as the contract it self,I think(but not sure)that if you don{t produce as spected, they have to pay you anyways a minimun salary,but they cant cut you.So it could be like a guaranted kind of contract.
So I guess he wasnt too fool to sign such a big($$)contract.
I will look it up tomorrow and find you exacly whats up.
I'm sure if your employer guaranteed you a job for 10+ years for millions of dollars, you wouldn't think its a dumb idea.Quote:

If Scola got 30ppg and 20rpg I don't know if I could get excited, because it doesn't look like he will come over.
How much is it actually for? This board is well-known for wildly exaggerating Euro salaries.Quote:

Question.
In Baskonia's forum an at www.acb.com it was told repeatedly that his whole contract (incremental salary), and the full buyout was 14 million Euro.Quote:

Just consider Gasol, who's his same age. Gasol buyout was less than the third, because he was paid a very low salary. In such cirscumtamces, and the fact of being Spanish, Gasol and Raul Lopez were able to come into NBA, lower bououts and in Lopez's case, a huge discount for the Jazz.
Scola back then was more proven player than other prospects of his age (playing the senior argentinian NT at 17, outplaying top US prospects like Zach Randolph or Carlos Boozer in international junior competitions, something not so common back then). In the long term, this hurt him, because he ended up staying in Europe too long due to such big contract.
Next year, the buyout drops a lot, cause it's his last year of contract and Tau could have him going for free. I guess that's the major Spurs chance to get him.
Another forum?
Forgive me for calling bullshit, but that's hardly credible.
How much does Scola make?
What would be scola's ratings on nba 2k6? rebounding speed and awareness mainly
Scola is aware of rebounds, he just doesn't get that many.
in the season 2005-06 he made 1.416.155 Euros per year (currently 1.855.163 $). he was the best payed player in Spain last season.Quote:

btw. why do you call another posters oppinion or statements bullshit or other unfriendlinesses, whenever you don't belive them, or don't want to belive them, because it doesn't back-up your claim?
you have such great knowlegde about NBA basketball and obviously little about Euro bb. why not share information instead of ridicule whatever comes from the other side.
Why would I share information I don't have?
I ask for information I don't have.
So Scola is making about $1.8 million this season. Seems about right to me. Thanks for the link, although I would have preferred the actual ACB page it claims to get the figures from, not some RealGM type blog entry.
I through 16 out there because I know he was really young. He might have been 17 or 18, which is still young.Quote:

They need to draft Rudy Fernandez in order to graft some of his mini-Manu hair onto Manu.
The league is like 5 years old.
Consider every team in the Euroleague also plays in the national competition. In Spain the league is called ACB. So they play ACB games and Euroleague games, kind of how they do in football, where a team like AC Milan would play the italian league and the UEFA Champions League.
I know we all support the spurs but hey homers playing with the spurs may not be a life dream for him...
Some posts just sound like it's a heartbreak not to play in the nba but wake up he plays in a top 5 team in europe, he's really considered, he lives in a nice euro country that speaks the same language and he earns big time $$ so....
That's great for him. I think that is better for him if he'll stay there and not go to NBA, because I think he will not play that good here.
Scola got screwed by his agent, as did Oberto some years ago, when he was still young enough as to adapt to the NBA. The thing with non NBA agents is that if a player of theirs goes to the NBA they lose a client and money (and usually these are the best paid players). So unless they have signed some sort of clause to get some compensation should the player go to the NBA, there isn't really an incentive for the agent to act competently/honestly when the chance of an NBA contract arises.
Saludos.
Replace Horry and Oberto with him(hopefully he opts out) and switch timtim to center. Then go after Nocioni.
hey, BS is BS. We all know BS is growing like grass on the net.Quote:
