Bring Scola in.

I have one question here - when does Scola's contract with Tau expire? If it's next summer, then the Spurs could work on negotiation and building rapport now with Scola if they want to bring him over next summer when he's no longer under contract with Tau. If it's longer, I suggest they shop him as a package for a player or for a 1st round pick. If they can't get anything buy a 2nd round pick for him and they don't want to bring him to the Spurs, then let him spend the rest of his career in Europe and don't give him up to become competition for a measly 2nd round pick.

At the end of the 2007/2008

I don't believe the Spurs really believe Scola is a lock to be succesful in the nba. If they did he would be on the Spurs. They would have made it happen already.

The fans have higher expectations of Scola then the Spurs do.

If they can package him in a trade or get a 1'st round pick ship him off.

i´ve one point

The MLE is more than 5 million

Everybody say nthis money is too much for Scola

So, Scola is worse than the Mid Lvel in the NBA, is this Right?

Yes, to the Spurs he's worse than mid-level. To another team, maybe not. But the Spurs don't hand out many contracts starting higher than $3M, so they wouldn't give one to a guy who has never played NBA ball, especially since it would make them pay luxury tax.

and these same people think Bonner's deal was ok :rolleyes

OK, Kori, but if you are ok:

We have 7 Unsigned Draft Picks, 6 of that are playing in Europe

Why we have 6 Unsigned Draft Picks from Europe, and we don´t sign the Best or 1 of the Best?

In Europe:
Ian Mahinmi
Luis Scola
Robertas Javtokas
Sergei Karaulov
Tiago Splitter
Viktor Sanikidze

In USA:
Marcus Williams

The Spurs could wait until next summer to bring Scola in. Horry will be gone and Elson could be as well. The only question mark, again, is the buyout. I've heard $1 mil, but am not sure if that is hard and fast or simply another rumor. The Spurs aren't going to get fair value for him this summer.

So, Marcus, would you say you have changed your mind since July 6th or just broadened your acceptable options?

I'd rather see the Spurs retain Scola than let him go for nothing.

What you're missing is Scola's threats to sign long-term in Europe this summer.

Better that than Duhon.

Doesn't he have until Sunday to decide whether or not he will be in the NBA?
