    in the last year of his contract in Spain, Tau staff should let Scola go, with a buyout of $2.5M, instead of getting nothing for him in one year.
    I thought Scola still had a buyout even after his contract expires? If he doesn't perhaps you keep him overseas one last year and then replace Horry with him.

    I saw that reported somewhere as being $1 mil.

    With Horry's wanting to come back one more season. I see that as the most likely case if Scola is ever going to be a Spur. I actually think re-signing Bonner is more critical than alot of people might think -- more important than bringing in Scola this summer.

    most spurs take one year to learn the system
    you bring him over now
    then he will be ready to replace horry when horry retires


    if you showcase manu and scola off the bench scola and manu know where each likes he ball you could make scola look better right away


    I wonder if spurs think scola and duncan can not play at the same time?
    if so manu and scola comes off the bench then you trade scola for that long 3

    I like Bonner, but I am tired of throwing nickels and dimes out to get guys like Bonner, Elson, Butler, etc....I would rather get one player with all that money that will help us a lot more than Bonner riding the pine "learning the system" along with Butler......Scola can ball much better than Butler or Bonner

    No definition on Scola’s future.

    About the possibility of Scola arriving to the Spurs this year, the coach commented: “He can be, or not. He wants to be here, we want him to be here, but it’s a problem in his contract that I’m tired of hearing about. We’ll see what happens this year”. However, when asked about the possibility of trading his rights to another team in exchange for draft picks, he answered: “Yes, it’s probable, RC Bufford is on charge there, but so far we have received stupid offers. There’s nothing good in return”.


    make it happen Buford

    Q) There are rumors that Luis Scola's rights, held by San Antonio, could involve a trade at draft time. Is he a guy that could make an immediate NBA impact in the league right now?

    A) There are always a flurry of trades and trade offers around draft time. Specifically, Luis has been the leader and franchise player of Taugres for at least the last five years. Just like Garbajosa he would be a solid NBA contributor. I think that's pretty much a unanimous opinion by NBA experts.

    Yeah, Bonner could have a bright future with the Spurs. A power forward who can rebound and shoot threes can be a nice weapon. When Horry retires, what they'll miss most is his ability to spread the floor. And luckily, Bonner can do the same.

    Bonner had some first season blues like most first year Spurs, but if he figures out the defense he can be a nice asset down the line.

    A crack pipe dream. We can't even get a late first rounder for Scola.

    Bonner doesn't have playoff skills. He's too slow.. He has no basketball IQ, he needs to pack up his Pontiac and move.

    That "other" board is reporting the Spurs plan to add him to the roster for 2007.
    Well, it good to know now that Scola won't end up on the Spurs.

    R.C. and Pop should try everything to get Scola over this summer. He'll be a great player comming of the bench for Oberto. He brings toughness like Oberto but is a better offensive player with some nice moves. He's a scorer and that's always nice to have off the bench.

    I don't think Scola will need a lot of time to adjust to the NBA game. He won't have to be a go to guy like he's in Spain so he could take a couple of months to adjust and it wouldn't affect the Spurs that much.

    Imagine having Manu and Scola comming of the bench next season. That alone would give the Spurs the best bench in the league.

    LOL @ Bonner, he would be a nice 10th man off the bench


    but to put him in the same class of Scola is ridiculous

    If his buyout is around $2.5 to 3 mil then the Spurs would end up using a sizable chunk of their MLE to sign Scola. With Finley's future in SA as of now uncertain, it's not a given that the MLE will be available to use on Scola.

    Neither Finley nor Oberto would have to be re-signed using MLE money if either opted out, but your point is taken if you are talking about replacing them.

    I think that the Spurs front office knows that Scola is a great player and would make the Spurs a better team. Now, are they willing to use their mid level on him either the full or a big chunk, I don't know.

    IMO they should try everything to land him this summer. He's only 27 and he's been playing at the highest level in Europe for a while, even longer then Manu did.

    Scola would be most effective in a lineup with....

    ....Francisco Elson.

    Yikes.

    No. I think that Scola and Duncan would be an awesome pair. Scola has a nice jumper and he's also a player that crashes the board on the offensive end.

    He could also bring some offense when Duncan takes a breather. Possibly with Elson.

    I haven't seen anything especially nice about his jumper, and his rebound totals don't inspire alot of confidence in that area either. He could add to the team, but "Scola at all costs" is not a prudent philosophy for the summer.
