Scola is worth 4 mil but not in San Antonio. He is not the kind of guy we need immediately. Some team yup. Trade his rights, he is not a defenssive player.
Scola is worth 2-year, $5M. Make a little money while proving your worth. That's what Manu did. Scola isn't good enough for special treatment.

Radmanovic would be a nice sign, if versatility is really where the Spurs want to go. We'd have plenty of PF's who can shoot the three (Radmanovic, Bonner, Horry) and stretch the floor... Would rather the Spurs sign Radmanovic over Thomas, if it came down to it, but neither would hurt... I wonder how much our defense would take a dip though.
This article is pure PR.
All the sudden, Nazr is an acceptable option to keep. That is surely not what was being written when the season ended- by the same writer. To say Nazr sometimes tested Pop's patience is a huge understatement. The problem for the Spurs is they traded Rasho and don't seem to have much chance at any of the big men available. So much for the notion of Duncan at center.
The Scola info is also PR- claim his price is too high and that no one else wants him either.
[QUOTE=Mr. Body]Swapped Nesterovic for Javtokas. Good.
Maybe sign Przbylla. Not a lot of other options for the MLE here that fill a need.
Looks like another year of flawed Nazr Mohammed and Beno Udrih.
A good chance of trading Brent Barry for dreck (JR Smith type).
Very likely our starting lineup does not change from the end of the season, with the bench gaining no game-changing talent and staying as old and ineffectual as it was in the playoffs.
Luis Scola stays in Europe until the end of his contract. This is his fault and the fault of TAU, who obviously does not reward good behavior or good soldiers with helping them attain their dreams.[/QUOTE
I still say that Manu and Tony were less than 100% , I keep watching reg. season games, and last years playoff run and no one can convince me that being healthy Manu and Tony couldn't have gotten to the basket with the same proficiency that Harris, Stack and Howard were doing to our Spurs. If anyone didn't show up it was our big men, since Pop basically chose to take them out of the equation, as it was, I thought with the exception of Nick our perimeter guys did the best they could. And were seconds away from advancing.
I just can't buy that line that Pop is happy to go with Beno as the back-up to Tony. I just can't help getting that picture of the Spurs ship slowly sinking and Pop not even looking down at Beno to try to salvage the season. I don't think Pop is at all happy with Beno. But that could change.This article is pure PR.

I think Javtokas is going to be awesome.
If you have Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili under contract then you are guaranteed of being a serious contender every season. Why spend more?
yes because the biggest payrole always wins the le
NOT
look at the yankees and knicks
the mavs had a bigger payrole and still did not win it all
Neither does the lowest.
When you have 5 years or so left in the career of a legend do you go cheap?
Took the words right outta my mouth. Luis Scola should take that kind of offer. He proved himself in the Euroleague, but now he has to prove himself in the NBA. And after you prove yourself in the NBA, THEN we'll talk big money.
Spurs have the 7th highest payroll right now, how much higher do they have to go so that you don't think they're being cheap?
No they don't. Besides that, they just dropped $15 mil off their cap for 2007-09 with the Nesterovic trade. That's on top of what they already removed with the Rose trade.
When will you stop kissing ownership's ass?
any team would have traded their 12-15 man on the roster if they made the type of money rose and rasho made
the type of money those players have should be given to players that are 1-5 maybe 1-7
not to 12 -15 men on the bench
those type of players get the min and are basically for development of players
was cuban cheap when he did not resign nash sparky?
They dumped Malik because he sucks and he was overpaid, the same goes for Rasho. It isn't like the spurs didn't want to spend that money they just didn't want to waste it on . Right now the Spurs can only spend the MLE, what can they do so that in your eyes they're not cheap?
Sure, I'd rather see them spend $7 mil a year on someone else. With Rose and Nesterovic gone they've dropped $38 mil off their cap from 2006-09. Will we see them spend that or just pocket it?
We will see how cheap Cuban is after this summer.
Marlins.
Any damn word on Viktor Sanikidze?
Maybe the Spurs have been quiet about him because they think they have another diamond in the rough and what to debute him at the Revue? Atleast that's what I hope. lol
But see- this is where I think the problem now lies with the Spurs. They are going to be content to be a contender- but probably not a champ- figuring these three guys can be surrounded with short- cheap contracts. Maybe it all worked out- get Nazr back for cheap- count on Beno's cheap rookie contract- bring in the couple of Euros next season on their cheap rookie contracts.
The Spurs got spolied because for those years they had Manu and Parker and were paying them peanuts for their value. They had to fork out the money to keep the two of them, so now they are at the top of how much they want to spend with the contracts of the Big Three. If the reports are right, they will use part of the MLE to sign Robertas- which I do not get- he should be had for the LLE. Then with only part of the MLE left, they can sign another short term cheap deal to some guy and say they did not have the option of signing anyone to a long term, bigger deal. Their big summer will consist of dumping the salaries of Rasho and Brent, but not with the goal of spending that money on other players that will help- but with simply lowering their costs. So don't get your hopes up about Wallace or Pryzbilla or even Speedy or Vlade. The excitement of the summer will be two trades that bring in Booner, Williams, and maybe JR Smith.
Johnny Ludden said in his article on 6/28 that Sanikidze would be in Utah for the Summer League with Ian Mahinmi and Sergei Karaulov but that all three would return to Europe for at least one more season.
furry spurry hasn't got a clue..
BTW Furry,
if the guy refuses 1.7 and wants more, wtf, do you say, no thats ok go sign with another team in europe.....
Scola has a dream in the NBA?
Or a dream to make 4 million?
What a crock. See ya bud.
The 4M includes enough to get himself out of the TAU buyout, so a chunk of that goes to his former employer. Sucky.
