Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
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'm sure if your employer guaranteed you a job for 10+ years for millions of dollars, you wouldn't think its a dumb idea.

Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
I would like to see what Scola could do, but the more time elapses the more annoying it gets.
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.
How much does Scola make a year?
Question.

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.
For a kid coming from Argentina, in a time when it wasn't so common to go into NBA, it was a HUGE contract.
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.

Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer

-
Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
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.
(just for information: Garbajosa was no. 3 at 1.335.106 Euro)

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.
-
Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
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.
And as some other poster said, 10 years ago, when there were not many forigners playing in the NBA, an 18 kid from Argentina gets a big money/10 year contract dangled infront of his nose, chances are he would have taken it.

Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
They need to draft Rudy Fernandez in order to graft some of his mini-Manu hair onto Manu.
-
Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
The league is like 5 years old.
-
Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
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.
-
Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
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....
-
Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
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.
-
Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
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.

Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
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.
Biggest thing to consider about Scola's salary is: Money doesn't include taxes. Netto. What you read is what he gets. With bonuses coming his way all the time. Nice contract.

He should be making at least $3 million if he was compensated like other top Euros. Bad contract.

It was signed 10 years ago. Who knows what top players were making in 1997.

And in addition, a lot of overseas players have their housing paid for and cars to use supplied by the team.
It's a good deal.

Re: Scola becomes the Euroleague´s All time top scorer
If he ever thought about joining the NBA or being a high level player in Europe, ten years is entirely too long and the buyout terms entirely too high. It is now indentured servitude. His agent screwed up, plain and simple.
