Yes. That's why he needs to be paid enough to cover it.is the player expected to pony up the rest?
Either way, I understand that much.
....but where is that other 2.9 million supposed to come from? Or is that the problem?
Doesn't that essentially make any buyout over 350K impossible, or is the player expected to pony up the rest?

It becomes part of the salary negotiations.
Dumb.
I know what happened we lost one of the best shooters of all time in Steve kerr
who will we lose this time
To me, it seems like the Spurs thought that Oberto > Scola. So they had to come up with a story to try to explain it to everyone. They couldn't just come out and say that they wanted Oberto more. Now that they have this story floating around. It seems like the Spurs wanted Scola more ... but they just couldn't get him out of his contract.
Now if they try to trade him, another team will hear that the buyout is not $20M and go for it.
Typical CIA.
1his contract can cover it
2
3

the whole 14 mill BS .. seems liek spurs are WANTING him to demand a trade
showing no loyality like they did to DA liek somone mentioned
Just so everyone knows, Julian hasn't talked to Scola personally since this went down -- but just his manager. Tonight or tomorrow morning he will talk to Scola personally and I'll get the actual quotes from Scola from him.
rasho or nazr packaged with scola's right option 1
or
scola to Atlanta for boris diaw. can you exchange rights for players?)
sounds like the spurs did him dirty
If you ask me Scola seems like a ...
He ed when we drafted him.
He ed when RC told him he needed to improve his rebounding.
And now he's ing because he sighed a stupid contract and his team got chintzy and we signed one of his countryment instead.
All Argentinians are not created equal and while I appreciate Scola's firey demeanor...
I have seen the guy play and he aint all that, I cannot stress this strongly enough, he aint all that...and he es too much.
Kick his ass to the curb and sign guys that want to be a Spur instead.
And anyone that knows me knows that I don't have any problem ripping the Spurs MGMT for stupid offseason manuevers...
Well I stand with them totally on this one...and I don't think this guy will be that good in the NBA...and I don't think he's got a good at ude to play for this team.
If he thinks RC was getting on his ass by merely asking him where's the rebounding...
He's in for a rude awakening when Pop gets hold of him...
Pop rips Duncan and Manu...you can damn sure bet Scola is going to get ripped if his rebounding isn't there...and I don't think he'll be able to handle it.
He's a headache...trade him...trade him right now.
And on top of that he choked in the Euroleague finals.
I like Oberto much better and I always have...
so what if it is.
Who gives a .
I don't think it's complete bull . That's the amount of the original buyout. And as the E-N said, it was thought that buyout would decrease over time. But the discrepancy in the reports comes in here ..
Was Tau being hard about it and insisting on the original 14M because of the first round vs second round loophole?
Or did they negotiate it down to the reported 3.2M and the Spurs just didn't want to bite?
We might never know.
spurs have stabbed luis scola in the back
lol
I've always liked Oberto better than Scola, but assumed that the option in the NBA was Scola over Oberto (age, movements, abilities).
Nevertheless, Oberto is a monster defender, a decent scorer and... experience.
im goign to agree with whottt. but for me its mostly bc people in here DID think he would be the next barkley.
and who released this info to the media, the spurs!
fire pop
poor luis

That's the kind of vibe I'm getting.
im sure they will get right on it genius.and who released this info to the media, the spurs!

No I wouldn't...And I also wouldn't be saying a 16 and 7 guy(career high) is a 20 and 10 guy like you said.
I saw what Manu was going to be come from the first time I saw him...
I've seen Scola play and I've never thought he was going to translate well to the NBA...Some guys do, some guys don't...and I don't think Scola will.
And I've always thougth Oberto will translate to the NBA...
2 years ago and I was pushing hard for the Spurs to sign Oberto, I wanted him over Rasho.
He's(Scola) basically a scorer and he's a weak rebounder, and he's going to be defended by guys much bigger and faster in the NBA.
Remember...Rasho was once considered one of the best bigmen in Europe as well. They aren't all Sabonis.
I don't think that Scola is a " " as some here might say. When the Spurs make a move they also do it in such a way as to make themselves come out smelling like roses. You can go back to how Vinny Del Negro was dispatched. Or DA. Or Malik. , they were prepared to let David Robinson go and make him appear like a greedy bas in the process.
Now with Scola it looks like the Spurs are doing what they can but gosh darn it, that Tau wants a load of money and that ingrate Scola doesn't get it so I'm afraid we'll have to trade him to a team that'll make him happy...
Scola ed the night he was drafted, about the Spurs drafting him...he said he wished he hadn't been drafted. He ed in the Olympics when RC asked hm where his rebounding was...
Go back and watch the interview with him.
It's not like he just started ing.
Scola did get back stabbed....
I remember an article that was written around half way through the season, it might have even been by Ludden, not sure though.
It said that Scola is pretty much guaranteed to be a Spur next season....so much for that ing .
what kind of at ude does Oberto have?
