Manu was hurt up though, doubt it.... If we even beat LA Boston gets us IMO in the finals.
It still makes me sick every time I think about it. The guy is a ing baller.

manu would only pass to scola
scola misses more gimmies then any one I have every seen
They'd have had to dump future picks and or players to keep him. Think: no Ghill, DeJuan, or likely Neal.
We may be looking to trade him to get younger......by the time our team is ready to compete he will be too old.
Something like Splitter and a first round pick might be enough to get it done.

You also don't think Scola doesn't have "what ifs" of his own? Like "What if I had taken the LLE for two years like Manu did?". He'd be getting paid now on a contender instead of a team.
Walter, it's the big question that has been asked zillon of times and probably the highest fear of any spur.
The scar seems to be healing because of this year, let's hope if keeps on this way.
Nice answer, BTW and just to finish this thread
Could you imagine the amount of argentineans in this forum if that happened
The scar will fester though if you fail to ring in June.
As it should.
Can't believe no one said it yet. Ok, here I go...
Scola Thread!!!
Can't some people just let it go? The Spurs also drafted Goran Dragic and Leandrinho Barbosa among others.
Most likely either Manu or Tony wouldn't be around anymore, so #4 can stay in red.
But, Dragic & Barbosa are a dime-a-dozen.
Scola fits you guys to an absolute -T-. He is exactly what you have needed thru these last 3 + years. He'd be to Duncan what Duncan was to Robinson upon arrival:::water carrier.
And it's only right & proper that you & Pops be held to accounts for this abysmal failure. Only a ring in June would & should silence the cacophony of derision. Otherwise, it's strictly heel & toe.
i say this is a stupid thread
with or without scola, the day we drafted him and had with his contract in europe...we did win 1 ring in that time frame...
Actually, three rings were won in the time frame (2002-2007).
Scola would be playing for another team by now anyway - The Spurs can't roll out six or seven players making $10MM per year. Like another poster said, Scola would probably precluded SA from signing either Manu or TP.
It's not like Scola's presence has vaulted the Rockets into true contention over the last four years. They have won one playoff series in that time.
It would have been nice to have him, but that die has been cast.
This front office has made the right moves waaaay more often than not. Just look at the current re-tooled roster. Hill, Blair, Neal, Anderson, and Splitter over the last three years gives the Spurs a nice group of players to work with for awhile.
Every team makes personnel mistakes, the Spurs contend right now because they make very few.
This is true.
& Louie was doozy.
It wasn't Pop. It was RC Buford who pulled the trigger. Pop gave him about it then and I'm sure still does. I'm sure Scola wishes he was with the Spurs as well. But that's the NBA. It is what it is.
Actually since it was a payroll/tax decision, Holt probably called the shot.
As someone else pointed out, Dragic and Barbosa (and others like John Salmons) were never drafted to be Spurs. There are rules about trading draft picks in consecutive years, so if you want to dump a pick you talk to a team, reach agreement about future compensation, and then when it's your draft slot, they call you and tell you who to pick. You wait about 5 minutes, and then make the trade. It's a technicality, but everyone uses it, and the league doesn't seem to care.
Of course he had a big say, but if you listen to RC Buford's interview regarding the decision he talks about him telling Pop this is what he thought they should do, etc...
Made me blame Pop a lot less now, but still hurts
Mania & Chuck run nice interference for Pop, but, it's his sandwich. If he can take all the accolades, he can eat this.
biggest mistake was giving jax a ty offer allowing him to walk to play for peanuts...
fck that we couldve wouldve 03/04 le and 05/06 le...jax shouldve gotten the same deal as malik rose did, fkn horse
i thought salmons was a summer camp invite....
dragic ing assraped the spurs in last year's playoffs. remember?
The Spurs ARE NOT FC Barcelona...they cannot bring in the best talent, develop it, and expect it all to stay for very long, because they have a salary cap.
