Rockets Notes: Spurs nearly dealt Scola to Cavs instead

Twist of fate
For about two hours in July 2007, Luis Scola was pretty sure he was heading to Cleveland. The Rockets felt the same way.
The Spurs had the deal done to trade Scola’s rights to the Cavaliers, only to have it fall apart. Two hours later, talks heated up with the Rockets and within two more hours, the Rockets acquired the rights to Scola for Vassilis Spanoulis.
Scola went through ups and downs even more trying than the teams’.
“I think about it occasionally,” Scola, who had 11 points and eight rebounds on Tuesday, said. “I was really, really, really close. Until four hours before I was traded (to Houston) I was 80 percent sure I was coming to Cleveland.
“I was excited. Now, I think the best thing that could happen to me was to go to Houston. I’m really happy with everything, the way it turned out.”

Scola thread!!!!!!!!!!!
Liar...if you gave him a choice there is no doubt he would be playing with Manu and Oberto.I was excited. Now, I think the best thing that could happen to me was to go to Houston.
He was probably reffering to going to Cleveland or Houston since he knew his rights were going to be dealt anyway.
Who cares thread?
I'm pretty sure the deal was Mike Bibby and Luis Scola to the Cavs, Drew Gooden and Jackie Butler to the Kings and a first round pick to the Spurs from the Cavs.
So don't post here.
Interesting.
2008 pick ?
I think it was a future pick. Might have been a 2009 pick.
Spurs getting a first round pick hasn't been reported. It's just a speculation.
FYI, Spurs tried at first to trade Butler by himself. They had a deal in the works with New Jersey but it didn't work. Given that it didn't work, they had to package him with Scola in order to dump his contract.
Damn you Larry Brown !
Wow, that would've made the Cavs even better than they are now.
I'd take it the Kings backed out. Getting Drew probably didn't sound all that great.
sweet!
another scola trade!
yess!
The rights to Lebron James, 2 future 1st round draft picks, & $10 million in cash.
I mean come on , it's the great Luis Scola we are talking about here!
The rights to Lebron James, 2 future 1st round draft picks, & $10 million in cash.
once again, HOLT, that cheap piece of mother er.
The rights to Lebron James, 2 future 1st round draft picks, & $10 million in cash.
If, as Timvp mentioned, a 1st round pick was in the deal, that could have been ineresting.
What are you basing this on? Where do you get your information from?
...along with a bag of magic beans.
lol yeah
especially when we're bringing up jackie butler in the conversation!
