They still have his rights, don't they?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have the rights to him...no?
Next year, we can still deal him...minus the buyout. No?

I think it was lowered to 350,000.
Teams offered, but the Spurs did not accept.
I think more than anything it makes the Spurs look bad. This team gave Oberto- who is not nearly as good- 3 years and $7M.
oh, so the spurs are going to trade next month after he's just declared that he's staying another year in europe? sure, genius.
Maybe because he's a good player and the Spurs want to get something GOOD in return. If you hadn't read the reports, they're trying to package Scola with Barry, but have no takers.
The great thing about that, is that his clothing line is called "Loyalty". He basically uses the word a lot to pimp his clothing line ... funny stuff.
Let's say the Spurs traded him.
That buyout money goes to his team in whereverland. What do the Spurs have to gain from that? If they wait until next year...all the value put into the buyout, they can get something back for.
What would you do if the Spurs? I know I like money in my pocket more than money in whereverland's pocket.
First of all, the Spurs hold his ing rights, so if they want to trade him, they can. Secondly, the team he would've been traded to is better served waiting until next year so as not to overpay him. Thirdly, like I said, it's JULY FIFTH. The God damn moratorium hasn't even ended and all you people do is complain that the Spurs haven't made any moves. Newsflash genius, the free agency period begain FIVE DAYS AGO. The offseason lasts until NOVEMBER, and the trade deadline is in FEBRUARY.
Ya, didn't he have a chain or something with it on it?
I'm glad he got ed. ing stupid mother er.
Wherever = Tau Ceramica, in Spain.
argentinian bigmen suck hard anyways
Yeah, I got that. Most of us thought he was worth a 1st round pick but we were wrong it seems.
I was sorta thinking out loud when I asked what these teams were offering? I guess it had to be 2nd round picks or cash.
if he wasnt demanding 4 million a year hed be worth a first round pick
I was responding to the person who said he was not worth a first round pick. I guarantee that offer was made and the Spurs rejected it.
I still say the Spurs will come out looking bad in the whole Scola situation and it has been destined for some time to turn out ugly. What I really hate is the Spurs negative campaign they make through their media mouthpieces.
He is worth a 1st round pick.
The thing is, he's not worth a first round pick AND the buyout. I'm guessing if we offer the same deal next year minus the buyout, the teams jump on it.
howd you manage to be a spurs fan and see through all the bs?
"The Spurs are preventing him from playing in the NBA, they don't want to trade him"
just like i said. I don't know why you people did think that the spurs wanted trade this great player.
no it's because the spurs are cheap assholes, if Garbajosa worth 4millions then Scola worth same at least.

the point is, the spurs are not going to get anything for him. he's not going to be get traded now. he's not coming to the spurs. whether the spurs make any other moves the rest of the offseason is irrelevant. the fact is, they had a trade piece w/ scola and they've let it go to waste.
This is ridiculous.
What do the spurs have to gain from sabatoging Scola's NBA dreams for 3 years? The only reason I see them not going through with it is because it wasn't cost effective. It just didn't make sense to bring him over.
Again, I ask where is that assumption. Just because the Spurs did not trade him does not mean that the Spurs were not offered a first round pick for him.
What need does Scola fill at this moment? If he isn't needed in this system at this time then why would you use all your money for him? Wouldn't that be the same thing that everybody gets on the Knicks for? And for people to bring up Oberto's contract is stupid cause that just shows that the Spurs learned from their mistake and won't put the teams spending power in jeopardy again. Scola will play in the NBA someday and it may be with the Spurs considering that next year Bonner will be a FA, Horry could possibly retire, and Oberto could be shipped off somewhere. Anything is possible. Scola will get his chance and his agent will get his money, they just need to chill and play the system cause all this commotion could backfire on Scola cause the expectations will be much greater.
They haven't gotten anything for him the past few years either.
We seem to be doing alright still. Just wait until next year and deal him. You'll get more back.
Agreed.
Scola's still not worth $4 mil though.if Garbajosa worth 4millions then Scola worth same at least.
However, Spurs asked for money and first round picks in next year's draft to trade Scola's rights.
So one (or maybe all) of those teams offered a 1st round pick but wouldn't throw in some cash? Or offered cash and no pick? If this agent is to be believed that was the Spurs asking price. Cash and a 1st round pick. Unless they were trying to dump Barry on them as well, those teams must have only offered half of the Spurs asking price, correct? Or this agent is lying about it all.
