The Spurs could have salary dumped Beno using draft picks as bait and saved almost as much as they did by salary dumping Butler.
Hoopshype.Are you pulling a ploto and looking at his draft capsule.
Why are you moving the goalposts already?Show me another example where a team salary dumped a player on a one year contract worth less than half the MLE -- where to do so they gave up a top prospect.
wait a second... ARG must play against BRA again?
USA will kick our ass, anyway we are gonna make some show over there
agreed.
Who's to say they haven't tried that aren't currently trying?
If you can find a link for me showing a better offer for Scola, that's cool. I never saw one this past year.
Beno and a first rounder to a team for nothing made more sense than that Rockets trade.
Calling Scola's bluff and doing nothing with him would have been better than what they did.
I'll remember that when that trade goes down.
Who's to say it was a bluff? I don't know.Calling Scola's bluff and doing nothing with him would have been better than what they did.
either way Holt is cheap.Calling Scola's bluff and doing nothing with him would have been better than what they did.
plays right into the ownership hater's sweet spot.
no one even thinks of the horrifying third option . . . paying him the miniscule chump change he had been asking for for over a year.
the full mle he asked for a year or two ago is chump change?paying him the miniscule chump change he had been asking for for over a year
interesting.
Scola = no Udoka
It's Monopoly money to us.
Thanks.
Let's assume it wasn't a bluff. Would you rather have Scola on the Rockets or Tau?
Makes too much sense.
That turned out to be untrue Spurs PR spin.
Trade Beno = Welcome back Udoka.
Don't care. Scola wouldn't see the floor against the Spurs biggest rivals in the playoffs, Dallas or Phoenix. Teams will go small against the Rockets and they won't be able to keep Yao and Scola on the floor either.
Dunno. As I said before, I have no idea how Scola is going to work out in this league. Since you are so sure this is the worst trade the Spurs could possibly make, you must have pretty high expectations for Scola.
If he's an ineffective NBA player, then how does the trade look?
Yep, teams were lining up for Beno
Beno and a first rounder for nothing certainly could have moved him.
which a lot of people fell for, including some that should have known better.
It was always something, like Scola 'demanding the full MLE!' or just as hilarious the 'Scola's buyout might not even be workable! Nobody knows! It could still be 9-14 million!' garbage that was put out.
Of course that was easily seen through nonsense also, didn't stop some intelligent posters from drinking it down gleefully.
I guess it'd look better but I haven't seen anything to suggest Scola is going to suck. Bottomline is he knows how to win and plays to win.
Sounds like a player I'd want on my side.
Yeah, the first rounder Splitter. Teams were buying better picks and not even having to take Beno.
Looks like we could just sign Esteban Batista to an offer sheet and forget all about Scola if FIBA play is what really matters. He's already dropped 12 on Team USA two minutes into the 2nd.
It's clear the Spurs did not.
I don't really know why, but that's what happened.
Future first round pick.
And teams were buying first rounders for $3M. You'd think someone would have bought one for half that (the $1.5M left on the books for Beno), wouldn't you?
why they will be on the bench hurt
