Well, but The Spurs players are for the 07/08 season:
Horry 37 years
Bowen 36
Barry 35 (36 in December)
Finley 34
Oberto 32
Duncan and Elson 31, so why we need a 33 years old player?

scola is in the late 20's right
Love to have him.
A frontcourt player with some midrange game and good defense is always welcome in Spurland.
in no imaginable universe is a 32 year old mcdyess (who's basically done) better than scola. i don't care that scola has never played in the nba, he's got talent. the idea of a scola, duncan, parker, ginobili starting lineup has me salivating. that team would be unstoppable, offensively. and let's face it, the league is trying to take defense out of the game all together.
duncan, scola, oberto, butler. that's a freaking solid frontline. and if the spurs pick up a perimeter swingman that can hit the three, how would any team stop them?
He just turned 27 I believe.Quote:

I think that Elson and Barry need to be traded this offseason. They're old and essentially worthless to us at this point. If we actually bring in Scola then Butler is disposable as well...although we could just as easily keep both. Also, I think that if we win the championship then Horry might just as well retire.
What would you think of a Duncan/Oberto/Scola/McDyess/Butler frontline? Hell toss in Mahinmi there as a wildcard too if we have enough roster spots.
Obviously another product of the Cleveland Education System.Quote:

I'd call that ideal. It's not going to happen, but the only problem would be that we would no longer have a 4 (or 5) that can stretch the interior D to the 3 line like Horry can. That said, McDyess to spell Oberto and Scola to spell TD would be a vicious front line.Quote:

I agree. I like so much Anthony.Quote:

Dude is great on the boards plays tough defense in the post and can score. He cant play heavy minutes but we dont need him to.
I can't believe this Cav idiot. Where did you come from moron?Quote:

Dice > Horry for what we can do.
Bring him in!
McDyess would be a great fit for the Spurs, but all signs point to him staying with the Pistons next year. He's so devoted to the team that when a trade with Toronto was on the table, he said he'd rather retire than switch teams.
If Dice did somehow find his way onto the Spurs, though, you can bet I'd be cheering for them to go all the way (provided they aren't facing Detroit ;)). He's one of my favorite players in the league and deserves a ring.
A trade to Toronto isn't exactly a shot at a title. At least not for a few seasons at least (I do like what they're doing up there). It's not surprising that he'd want to stay in Detroit over Toronto...a championship is very plausible with them! But after this most recent season and its disappointments I can see him open to the idea of moving to a team like SA. It is likely his last shot though, and he knows it.Quote:

Yeah. If we're gonna keep Flip as coach, we're likely gonna be mediocre for a while. It wouldn't be fair to keep him if we're not gonna win..he can opt out this year, though, so we'll see.Quote:
