seriously how is waiting 5 years for a player with a huge buy out not throwing a pick away
Seriously, how are Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and Beno Udrih "drafting poorly and throwing away draft picks"?seriously how is waiting 5 years for a player with a huge buy out not throwing a pick away
It's called taking a chance that you can negotiate a cheap buyout. , every team in the league would love to have the Spurs success over the last 5 years of drafting talent.
15 ing million?!
How the is it poosible we thought for the last three years it was a 2 million dollar buy out!?
Who would YOU have picked at that spot that year?
I suspect the 2 million dollar buyout was what it would have cost had anyone drafted Scola in the first round (the renegotiated part).
Yeah, but we and his team has known for the past three years that he was drafted with the very last pick in the second round.
Where did all the confusion come from?
Perhaps Tau indicated that when the time came they'd be agreeable to a similar buyout?
It doesn't help that two of Tau's top three players (scola being the other) have already left their squad.
If Tony and Tim left the Spurs tomorrow, would you be willing to easily let Manu get away?
I don;t lie and fluff myself up liek some people I don't have the knowledge of all te players in the draft to tell you who was worth drafting. No benfit of flyinf over to china or watching video of everyone
simple put I am ignorant on who they could chooose
but drafting a player with a 14 mill buyout that is a backup
its not liek drafting jordan or larry bird that where paying 14 mil is still worth it
we have wait this long and we will have to wait a long time,\
all those people saying oberto is old now well scola wouldn't be getting younger
I wonder if an agreement is made to to buyout the contract now ... will the Spurs still offer Scola the money? I'd guess so.
Then again, Tau would be stupid to let Scola out of it. They have the "best power forward in Europe" locked up for three more years with an impossible buyout. On top of that, the Spanish league owners have a rep for being hardasses.
Hopefully Scola is on this side of 30 by the time he reaches America.
I thought some of these guys would've sold their computers for meth by now.
Very good frontline rotation and almost too deep.
Spurs need another wing who can defend, get out on the break and shoot from the corner.
What about that?the issue could end up in the hands of an arbitrator
I mean, the whole getting it down to 2 million was only for a first round pick, the rules I assume say nothing about second round.
Shouldn't there be some loop hole?
Damnit! Some one send that whiney chick from Maloney and Maloney!
That is the most whack buyout I've ever heard of in my life. Talk about coming out of left field. Who knew? Where is Angelo Drossos when you need him?
if i owned scolas contract i wouldn't let him out of it really the only threat is scola tanks the season, but the spus would have to know he purposly did it
The late owner Angelo Drossos would have gotten everyone from the Spurs, the NBA, Tau and FIBA in a hotel room and the Spurs would have ended up leasing Scola for 3 years
Well, that's really too bad. I was really looking forward to seeing Scola here. But with that type of buyout, I can totally understand as to why he's not here. That's really too bad.
If you can believe it, the Spurs have been following Oberto and tracking his progress since 1997.
I still don't get how this entire time we thought it was 2 mill. Makes zero sense.
Our hopes were so up and then bam... we hit earth.
The Spurs didn't think it was $2M.
The Spurs, who are limited by NBA rules to contributing no more than $350,000 to the buyout, have spent more than two years trying to resolve the matter.
sounds to me liek the spurs intentionly didn't release info of what the buyout woudl be and now that they haven't signed scola they are saying how much it is so fans are mad at TAU and nto the spurs for not signing scola
Calm down. From the article, it sounds like there is still a good chance that Scola's buyout will be resolved in the Spurs' favor in the near future.
In the meantime, Oberto>Scola anyway.
Scola too slowla, IMO.
exactamundo. The spurs didn't want us to know that they used a 2nd rd pick on a guy with a 14 million dollar buyout.
Anyway, Scola's contract runs two more years, not three... he signed it in 97 and it was for 10 years...
but how are their basketball seaosns? would his contract expire during our season or before
