He fricking played just fine against Team USA. WTF?

That was the best team the US could field and he was a star.

WTF?

Until he plays in the NBA against an NBA team every night I dont care what he did in a Euro tourney
Carlos Arroyo lit up team USA before and he is great too right?

Rockets Reach 'Basic Agreement' With Scola
July 13, 2007 - 7:34 pm
Houston Chronicle -
The Rockets have come to a "basic agreement" with Argentine star Luis Scola, less than 24 hours after acquiring his draft rights from the San Antonio Spurs , the Houston Chronicle is reporting.

"We're working on the contract, but we've got a basic agreement, an understanding," George Bass, Scola's agent said Friday.

"He's actually taking the physical right now in Argentina."

The Rockets traded guard Vassilis Spanoulis, a 2009 second-round draft pick and cash to the Spurs for the rights to Scola and center Jackie Butler.

Scola is expected to sign a three-year deal worth roughly $10 million.

"He's so excited, he probably didn't sleep a wink last night." Bass said.

"He's thrilled, this has been his dream for five years."

The Rockets still have to sign Scola and according to his agent, George Bass, that could happen within a few days.

"I think the contract will come together very quickly and I see it coming together by this weekend or early next week," Bass said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports.

NBA sources told FOX 26 Friday that the Rockets already have the wheels in motion for Scola to take a physical in Buenos Aires once a contract agreement is reached.

"Our whole (agency) group is excited about getting Luis traded to Houston." Bass said.

RC Buford said following this trade that they wanted to give Luis an opportunity to play in the NBA. That should tell you all you need to know about how hard the Spurs tried to sign him.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]
