    He's told Tau he is leaving.
    Not quite.

    The translation from Spanish was he "intends" to leave. I assume that means he's still trying to leave, but it doesn't quite mean he's leaving.

    seeing as we know nothing but second or third hand information, i think we should trust the front office at this point. they obviously know what they are doing and what is best for the team. we have no idea what tau wants for scola exactly, what his demands are, or how negotiations are going. i think a 30 year old guy with great character and grit (olympic captain) who already has a lot of experience with one of our best players is a great pickup. 30 is not 35, 37, or 40.

    If you're going to be condescending, next time please first make certain that you're not completely full of .
    OOO. I'm bad. I use curse words to make myself look really tough. Whatever dude. If you were to read my questions correctly and that goes for Kori as well. I asked what was the "salary" cap going to be this season. I never mentioned "luxury."

    " he sucked all last season (for the Knicks!)"

    BS. Nazr had quite a solid Nov/Dec/Jan, then really tapered off with the groin injury.

    I wasn't saying I thought Nazr sucked. I was saying the Knicks were treating him like a lame duck and seemed more than happy to get rid of him.

    The Spurs could get back a near all-star if they package Nazr and Scola together. Would you do it?
    Well, if we can dream that big, I'd like to figure out how to compile a deal to bring Luol Deng to the Spurs. Assuming the Bulls lose Curry, Nazr might look pretty attractive to the Bulls. Matching contracts and salaries makes such a deal very unlikely.

    I explained to you very early in this thread that the Spurs cannot waive Rasho using that rule - it's for teams that are over the luxury tax -- the Spurs aren't. Even if they did waive Rasho, it wouldn't help them sign anyone else -- his salary still counts against the salary cap.

    whatever dumbass, either way it doesn't change Rasho's worthlessness on this team


    Posting closed threads, after repeating, with emotion may I say.... it's totally funny.

    I agree, plus he's 30
    You don't even know who this guy is, you've never seen him play, you didn't even know he was an Argentine, and yet you have all these strong opinions about how good he is?

    I'm betting you've never seen Scola play either. So, basically, your opinions are based upon... umm... what, exactly?

    It never even occurred to you that Scola could still be coming. When Chad Ford speculates about something, 2 times out of three he's wrong.

    Stick to pro wrestling.

    I'm a little disappointed... IMO Scola is better than Oberto, I really think the Spurs should have just payed the buyout, it would have been worth it.

    The luxury tax threshold will be well over $60 million. The Spurs won't approach that level.
    You're serious? I seriously doubt it will be well over $60 million. It was @ $43.5 million this past season. You're saying that it will go up $16.5 million this next year? Are you OK?
    Whatever dude. If you were to read my questions correctly and that goes for Kori as well. I asked what was the "salary" cap going to be this season. I never mentioned "luxury."
    Look, if you don't know enough about the NBA collective bargaining agreement to understand the difference between the salary cap and the luxury tax threshold, a failure that clearly has been captured above, then you really ought to keep your strong opinions to yourself. You don't know what you're talking about. Others of us do. Shut up.

    It's curious to me how people can post in this Forum, or even lurk, and not know who Fabricio Oberto is. We've been posting any morsel we can on him for 3 years (I know I have been), including obscure newspaper links in Cordoba...bookmarked, no less.

    I've seen Scola play, I'm not talking about Oberto
    Scola and Oberto played on THE SAME TEAM. You know, Argentina, that one you watch so much.

    This is awesome.

    In Fact, Oberto is a Free Agent and Scola a Draft PIck
    So you may sign first the FA and after the Draft Picks, because you have more time for sign the Draft Picks, because there aren´t other teams who can talk with Scola

    I will be extremely disappointed in the Spurs aren't able to bring over Scola this year. Pop claimed he was a huge priority. I usually back Holt and commend him in his business dealings but the guy is basically sitting in Europe and aging while we're squabling over a buyout. The 1.2 and 1.1 million dollars that were paid to Sean Marks and Tony Massenburg last year could have gotten this done.

    This is now officially Manu's team and I think he would be even more motivated (if that's possible) playing with his sidekick Luis Scola. Oberto is nice and I'm happy with the signing but this seems like nothing more than a consolation prize because the Spurs were too cheap to pay a buyout they've known about for three years now.

    Make it happen Buford.
