Scola for Sessions, straight up.
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13410797142501The Houston Rockets are actively looking to trade veteran power forward Luis Scola, according to league sources briefed on Houston's plans.
Although a specific trade partner for Houston has not yet emerged, sources told ESPN.com that the Rockets -- stocked with big forwards after coming away with Royce White and Terrence Jones in the NBA draft earlier this week -- are working to find a new home for Scola as they rebuild their roster.
Veteran guards Kyle Lowry and Kevin Martin have also been made available in various trade scenarios by the Rockets as they continue to stockpile young assets as part of their well-chronicled intent to pursue Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard or another franchise player in trade scenarios.
Scola, a 2002 second-round pick by San Antonio, played in all 66 games last season. The 32-year-old Argentinian averaged 15.5 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in 2011-12, his lowest marks since the '08-'09 season.
Martin and Lowry, along with Scola, represent Houston's three leading scorers from last season despite Martin and Lowry playing in just 40 and 47 games, respectively.
The Rockets tried to deal Martin and Scola to New Orleans last December as part of the failed three-team trade that would have sent Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers and brought Pau Gasol to Houston.
Probably won't get much.
Dragic for Blake + McRoberts.![]()
I thought Scola was going to the Lakers in the four team deal that includes Bynum to Houston, Lowry/Derrick Williams and other young players/picks to Orlando, Howard to Lakers, and Gasol to Minnesota to make the Spanish team.
Spurs are stuck with the red rocket
Considering he's owed like $30M at around $10M per season, his non existing defense and declining skills, they may have hard time finding a buyer tbh.
At this point where the Spurs don't have Bowen and elite Duncan's interior defense, they need good defense from every rotation player.
no body is gonna claim his contract imho, unless H take back something equally bad
I think Gasol for Lowry+Scola could very well happen. (with appropriate fillers that is)
Lakers would get the ty end of the deal which's obvious, lowry is leaving H as a FA more likely then not and scola is like a dead stock that they wanna get rid of anyday of the week.
bynum on the other hand is the BEST center the west ever get since shaq moved to miami which was as early as 04, would be more lopsided then the gasol deal if happened tbh
