Scola talks had been ongoing for weeks but it was Indy's willingness to finally include Plumlee that compelled Suns to agree on deal.
Damn.

boy the suns seem to be getting a pretty good deal out this whole thing. and athletic young big. an athletic SF with a bad contract (the only downer) and a 1st round pick. for a guy i think is a bit overrated. although scola could be pretty valuable as a back up to come in and get some rebounds and score some.
To me Indy got a great deal.
Plumlee is a career backup C (they have Ian looked up for the next 3 seasons), they got rid of Green's contract and that 1st will be a late one.
You guys can still about Scola, but as a BIG off the bench he is a great addition for Indy. Not many players in the league have those post moves.
And he would be a great addition for SA as well.
Why couldn't the Spurs have traded Neal to the Bucks for a trade exception? Makes no sense.
Don't know the validity of the source but if true it's one more low cost SF option gone (though not a great one admittedly)
Would be nice to have Hairston back in the backup SF role.
Was jus thinkin that!
They may yet. Agreeing to a deal is not the same as signing one.
Secondly, why would the Spurs want to give up assets to get a TE for Neal? They'd have to in order for it to make sense to Milwaukee.
A Neal S&T would generate a $1.6M-$1.7M trade exception. A TE that small isn't that interesting even more with Spurs having some low salary players like Mills or De Colo, that they could trade away.
Now it's Blair's turn
I thought Neal was sign for over 3m a year with te bucks.
Yes he is, but the TE generated will be half of his salary.
http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q87
If Neal 2013-2014 salary is $3.2M, a $1.6M trade exception will be generated.If a team is over the cap and re-signs its Larry Bird or Early Bird free agent with a raise greater than 20%, in order to trade the player in a sign-and-trade arrangement, then the player's outgoing salary for trade purposes is either his previous salary or 50% of his new salary, whichever is greater. The team receiving the player always uses his new salary.
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.c...medium=twitterThe New York Knicks and the Memphis Grizzlies are on the lookout for a backup point guard and according to a source close to the situation, both teams have inquired about the services of Delonte West.
i see. So really there isn't t much difference btw that and the vet min on terms of luring a player. No real incentive to do a st if the spurs I suppose. Here's hoping Blair fetches 4m a year and spurs do a st.
Well, my hope with Blair is Spurs getting Trevor Ariza. A TE, even at $2M, will be difficult to use.
Shouldn't really be unexpected that Mo is still available, he delusionally thinks he's still a starter....
a trade exception that small is only worth claiming guys off waivers
Agreed. It would be just enough more to out bid a team offering a vet min salary. For example, if spurs go the big man route, it'd be nice to offer a player like Ayon something more than than vet min.
That said, it would be nice to get Ariza in a st move involving Blair.
I wonder if there is any connection to Oden possibly choosing Miami.
Ya think?
Camby is done
