He did in Detriot and that's why he backed up Chauncey Billups in their championship run.
That was the first of many lines, and I'm certain that number will change. It should also be noted, that line was made before any signings or trades took place.

i believe the upcoming season is going to be fun to watch. the spurs do need some better wing players. we will not know what the final rosters will be until trade deadline arrives during the season. i don't think the spurs FO are done dealing. let's just hope they make the right moves.
Based on track record thus far this off-season....I wouldn't hope for too much.
I love how everyone is bagging on Bonner and anointing Scola the next big thing based on Euro league stats. Hardly any of you clown asses know that Bonner played Euro league ball for one year after college, and his ing numbers owned all over Scola's.
36 minutes 19p/9r 54 FG% 36 3G%
i remember he did hit some big threes during their run to the le, but i thought hunter was the one they put in for defense. ok, i found something about it:
same article states this though:ames was a member of the Pistons' 2004 NBA Championship team as a reserve. He and fellow reserve guard Lindsey Hunter formed a formidable defensive guard combination nicknamed the "Pit Bulls" by Rasheed Wallace, because of their aggressive nature on defense.
different player for each team, it seems.He is a marginal 3-point shooter, and also occasionally possesses the dribbling skill and quickness to drive past defenders to the basket. He is known to be a one-dimensional, no defense player, and late in close games in the 2005-06 NBA season he has shown a propensity for firing off quick 3-pointers, which throughout the season have either won games for the Raptors or lost games for them in the final stages of the game.
Hunter was.
Defense Hunter > Billups >>> James
Scola>Bonner? Yes.
Scola> Oberto and Bonner? NO.
Against Rockets put Tim on Yao and Oberto on Scola and you'll see.
Oberto's a so much better defender than Scola.
He's done a incredible job of making Ilgauskas, Boozer, Okur and Amare in the last playoff. And he'll do again on Scola this season.
you maybe right, but we've seen Bonner play in the NBA and it's safe to say that he is a 10th or 11th guy and will never get any minutes in a game that means anything of value.
Scola has played significant minutes on teams that have won on all levels except for the NBA.
The dancing usher plays more significant minutes than Bonner does.
Wake the up.
In Argentina, Oberto is Scola's nanny.
If the Spurs stay healthy, THEY WILL REPEAT. Too much drama in here over a guy who has yet to prove himself in the NBA.
In America, Scola will be Tim's beeeyatch. And don't say about the block on O'Neal. That is ancient history. Scola will find it difficult to stay on the floor.
Why?
Because Oberto take him at school in the paint![]()
Because Oberto accustomed to playing in pressure-packed games and Scola played so bad this games![]()
in the NBA?
Answer=first game Spurs vs Rockets this season.

What team Did Bonner play for in Europe?
Toronto recognized the future potential in Bonner but did not have a roster position available. Bonner was asked to spend a year in Europe honing his skills with a verbal promise to give him a shot at making the team in 2004.
After signing with Sicilia of the Italian league based in Messina, Sicily, 2003 proved to be a harrowing year for Bonner. Bonner survived a 104.5 degree Fahrenheit fever brought on by a bout of salmonella (treated by the team dentist) most likely caused by a lack of running hot water in his apartment. Sicilia had filed for bankruptcy in the middle of the season and had stopped paying its players. Bonner's heat and electricity were shut off and he was given two eviction notices. Despite half the team leaving, Bonner stuck it out and finished the year averaging 19.2 points and 9.3 rebounds [2].

But it was a loosing team,right?
coze Itīs not the same to average 19/9 on a loosing team tham averaging 15/6 in a le contender type of team.
I mean, it would be fair to say that too.
On 60% shooting...
Noccioni was a better rebounder in Euroleague than Scola too...
Scola is a PF that can score....exactly how does that help us win a le...
Mother ...do you see our PF having trouble scoring?
And don't even attempt to claim you are serious about Butler...again, he had offensive game, the 1 out of every 5 plays he could actually get his ass down the court...
Do you want to run an NBA kindergarten for projects, or get a mother er to put on Dirk so he doesn't go Wilt on us again?
Mavs aren't championship contenders? They are Spurs asskicker contenders...and that's good enough to make them a concern to me.
Yeah...because Scola wins...
er plays with another NBA lottery caliber bigman and still chokes his ass off.
donīt hate the player.........................hate the game .![]()
Is anyone else enjoying ArgSpursFans shock and disbelief as much as I am?
This sucker would trade Duncan and DRob in their primes for Pepe Sanchez....must be a real to have reality smack you upside the head like that.
![]()
You would think that the SPurs just traded Carlos Boozer the way Scola is being talked about around here
Iīm just happy that one of my favorites player finally made it to the NBA.thatīs all er.
You can spin it, slice it, dice it, rebound it...whatever...
But the Spurs are never going to spend big money on a bigman to put next to Duncan if the guy can't play ing D...
Because doing so forces Duncan to guard the teams top inside player...
Duncan is probably the greatest block scoring bigman to ever step foot on the NBA court....why in the do you want him on the bench in foul trouble so Scola can score less effectively than Duncan?
Figure it the out...if the guy can't play D...he's not going to play alongside Duncan.
I tell you...some people evidentally weren't watching in the mid 90's when Drob had to carry the offensive and defensive load...I was there...it sucked ass. It cost us les.
You want a Euroleague MVP caliber bigman that is offensive oriented that can't play D?
WE had one...his name was Rasho...and he actually could play D.
You should read the whole history of that year. Yeah, they were losing. Having the team go bankrupt, and half the players quit will do that. Bonner wasn't one of the quitters. They figured out that he got salmonella because his electricity got shut off and he couldn't properly wash his dishes. He had eviction notices multiple times. He wasn't getting paid, so he couldn't pay his bills. He still never quit.
That doggedness, plus his overall smarts are why I want him on this team. Unlike JBut, he recognizes that his time isn't now, but is willing to wait. In 08-09, he'll be a rotation player.
