I thought he wanted the max, according to the Excuse for News.Scola is expected to sign a three-year deal worth roughly $10 million.
buyout was like 15 million 2 years ago o
not spurs fault

Bonner is a dork though, seriously.
Scola is a baller.
well, SA got S'd in the Cola already on this deal
skArooowed in the COLA
Hey I guess Manu heard about it because he posted something on his site tonight.Can someone translate what he said (and not that google translation stuff). Thanks. I think he may be a good player for them but I don't think he's going to put them over the top.
Que barbaro, ahora se lo critica a Pop y RC por darle la chance a Luis de plir su suenio de jugar en la NBA? Si hubieran sido egoistas y no les interesara la persona, se lo quedaban y esperaban, algo iba a llegar e o temprano... en cambio que hicieron?? saben que Luis tiene 27 y que era el momento para dar el salto, lo dejan practicamente libre para que juegue, aunque esto significara dejarlo jugar en un rival directo...
No les parece loable? En San Antonio practicamente no iba a tener chances de jugar lo que quiere atras de Tim y tampoco lugar a nivel economico para cobrar lo que alguien como el se merece.
No me parece nada mal, sino preguntenle a Luis a ver que opina de lo que hicieron los Spurs.
No hay dudas que me hubiera ENCANTADO jugar con el Luifa... pero para el, esta claro que es lo mejor.
Slds.
about time.
From what I understand, he's saying that he regrets that people are blaming RC and Pop for giving Scola the chance to accomplish his dream to play in the NBA, and not being egoist. They behaved like the champion organisation they are.
He knows that this is the right time for Luis to come here. Spurs set him free even if it means he'll play for a direct rival.
Doesn't it seem laudable to them ? (people who are complaining)
In SA, he praticaly had no chance to play the minutes he would have liked near to Tim and couldn't have had the money he can have considering the market.
It doesn't seem a bad thing to him (Manu, the trade) but ask Luis what he's thinking of what the Spurs made.
No doubt I' would have been thrilled to play with him but I think this is the best for him (him signing in Houston.

Very interesting....

Manu is a great guy and will give the company line always. The Spurs traded Scola's rights to dump Butler's salary and save $$. They don't care about him as a person. It's a business.
I guess some people would say NBA is a business and there is no place for feelings.
But if what Manu is arguing is true, that's another sign of how classy Spurs can be.
Bought- hook, line, and sinker.I guess some people would say NBA is a business and there is no place for feelings.

damn right.
They´ve been trying to get rid of Butler and had to give up Scola in order to make it happen.Otherwise they would´ve let him rot in Europe.Do you think they just offered Scola to the rockets?????
no!! they(Rockets) wanted Luis and were Willing to take the chance on butler just to get Scola.
I really hope Jakie turns things around next season too.
yao and scola will be the best front court in the NBA.
Give me adress so I can send you those.
So Spurs are the winner of this trade ? Right, they were soooooo willing to get ride of Butler that they sacrified Scola, cos nobody wanted Jackie ?
So Manu is a dumbass for saying what he's saying ? That Spurs could have waited more and get something else for Scola ?

pfffare you talking to yourself or something? where are you getting this from?
The Spurs FO did what was best for the team. We now have a little more $ to sign Idoka or someone else that will make us better. Several things changed the Scola saga since last year. Oberto established himself as an invaluable cog in the machine. Would we have been better cutting Fab and bringing in Scola.? Cut Elson some would say. No, we need another 7 footer until Splitter arrives or Mahinmi' developes. Some would say cut Bonner. From what I've gleaned from the paper, Pop loves Bonner's game and at ude. His is younger bigger, stronger than Scola and can shot the 3. IMO the final nail in the coffin was when Splitter fell to us in the draft. Also younger , bigger, and taller than Scola. Every Euro isn't a Manu or Tony-- game changers! Most are role players and come off the bench and contribute. Can anyone list Euro's who currently start in the NBA? Any All-Stars? I expect Scola will be a role player in Houston. He will make the Rockets better but we didn't trade away Karl Malone.
The way I see it,The spurs are the losers in this trade.
And manu is a great guy who doesn´t wanna talk about nobody and wanna calm things down.
hope scola ends up a busts
I'm going to reserve judgment on this trade. Up close, it looks like a ty deal, seeing as though Scola seemed to be worth more than half a second round pick. Still, I have doubted the Spurs front office before and they've always come out on top, so right now I don't know what the to make out of this...
I think Scola is going to do well, nothing too impressive but good enough to make us sorry we traded him that's for sure, even if we do win a le next season. Either way, here's to #5
If you can't read irony, there's nothing I can do for you.pfff
I was responding to a nonsense take.
Sorry but his take doesn't look at all like that. He just seems to give a fair opinion and looks a bit pissed with some reactions.
Trust me, they are.
What I don't understand is that if it's a business, why are people so angry when the Spurs both win, and look to their bottom line? You've been OTR for a year over a business move to trade Rasho to Toronto. At some point you should let go of that anger, or it'll eat you up.
