Yeah -- it sucks that he makes $8M next season, but it would be a sweet expiring contract to have.
It would have to be Shane and someone for Rasho. Shane makes nearly two million dollars less than Rasho next season.No crazier than proposing Rasho and someone for Shane Battier.

NOOOOOOOOO! Talented, freakish scorer with lack of emotional control. The pain is = or > the pleasure.
I think the Spurs will offer Devin a two year contract with a team option on the second year (or something like that).
How much are we talking about per year to bring in Scola and how good do you guys think this guy can be? I've heard a little about but anyone with more insight?
Scola's very good. He's more offensively gifted than on defense and D is what RC had encouraged him to work on while playing for TAU Ceramica. He fouls too much, though.
He was so good in the Olympics that he was basically Argentina's most valuable player in the Gold Medal game against Italy. He was the top scorer and rebounder in that game and he really took up the slack for the injured Oberto. He is the real deal as a basketball player and he's very emotional.
Devin's back is poison to GMs right now -- he'll have to prove himself healthy in the Finals or in offseason workouts to get offers more than a few million.
AD is going to start somewhere, maybe Cleveland. All we need is a vet to play spot minutes in case of injuries or crap play by the young'ns. I repeat my pimpage of Nick Van Exel if he becomes available -- he sounds ready to take on that role.
The more I look at the Rasho-for-SF trades the fewer actual possibilities I see that make much sense outside of Memphis. Most potential deals would include the Spurs' taking on too much additional crap to get that one guy. A Memphis deal would be ok since there would only be a couple years of $2-3 million in crap contracts to pay off (Big Jake or Troy Bell) -- not so easy otherwise unless other teams get involved. Of course the new CBA might change everything, including salary matching.

Who said Rasho and *someone*?No crazier than proposing Rasho and someone for Shane Battier.
My list included Battier, but Memphis would have to send another player our way or we'd have to get a third party involved.
Actually getting someone that can contribute makes a lot more sense than your eagerness to trade one bit role player for another.
"I think the Spurs will offer Devin a two year contract"
how does injury insurance work? but I guess nobody would insure Devin at this point.
For taking on an injured, questionable player, can team have some kind of cancellation if the injury recurs?
I want to keep Devin. Why can't we just leave the team as is? What we have seems to be working well. If it's not broke...
For longer contracts the deal comes off the books is the injury ends a player's career a period of time after the player last plays. Not much use for short contracts, though again that might change with the new CBA.For taking on an injured, questionable player, can team have some kind of cancellation if the injury recurs?

i think scola is hyped
i would rather have
mohammad, horry, nash before having scola on my team
Wait. You're saying he won't take a lifetime supply of bean and cheese tacos from Taco Cabana?
Why the do we need another PG anyway?
ad is not a point guard atleast with the spurs
he sucked at it as a spur
I do not want ad to go to the cavs
The problem with this line of thinking is:I want to keep Devin. Why can't we just leave the team as is? What we have seems to be working well. If it's not broke.
1. You're talking about Devin like he's healthy. We don't know what is giong to happen with his back. He could never see the court again, in theory.
2. Bowen is getting up there. The most glaring weakness on this team is at the SF, you've gotta do something to address it.
3. The Spurs make deals for good guys. By the time Nazr leaves he'll be as loved as Malik was in the community, and he'll score a lot more points, block a lot more shots, and grab a lot more rebounds along the way.
Dude, it's not like Scola is going to come in as a replacement for either of Nazr or Horry, he's coming in to play with them.i think scola is hyped

mohammad, horry, nash before having scola on my team
Just FYI ...You're talking about Devin like he's healthy. We don't know what is giong to happen with his back. He could never see the court again, in theory.
I don't know if you heard yesterday's Pop show, but Pop said that they have been re-assured by doctors that when (not if) Devin gets better he will be as good as before. I know this isn't conclusive evidence. But the Spurs have been told by several different medical people that this is not going to be something to hamper his career. It's not the same as David.
That being said .. I agree with you that the Spurs need to target a young, long 3 this summer.
Nash? Someone said something about Nash?
Kori, that's great to hear, I like what Devin brings ot the table on the court, and as a homegrown product I want to see him succeed.
That said, if there's one thing I've learned from watching sports is that when the back is involved, nothing is absolutely certain WRT injuries.
Who thinks we could get Jack back? He'd be the perfect SF. He is Bowens' size and I heard that Larry Bird didn't want too much hot heads on the team.
Jax is taller then Bowen, isnt he?
Aren't they both around 6'8-6'9?
Bowen is like 6'6"-6'7" and Jax is like 6'8"-6'9" right?
NBA.com says:
Bruce Bowen
Height: 6'7
Weight: 200lbs
Stephen Jackson
Height: 6'8
Weight: 218lbs
I'd say let's get some solid veteran players who are willing to play for a decent contract for a chance to win a ring.
