I'll book it. He'll come out this season and be better than Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Drew Gooden, Zach Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace.

And that's only the pure "power forwards". We won't even count the fact that Duncan is listed as a FC, along with Carlos Boozer (same height as Scola), Al Harrington (same height as Scola), Elton Brand (an inch shorter than Scola), Chris Bosh and Amare Stoudamire (both only 1 inch taller than Scola). All of those guys could be put in the PF category, some easier than others.

I've booked it. But Scola is gonna have to be pretty ing good to live up to that. Sure you don't want to reconsider?

[Oh, Gee!!]

the Spurs do not need another ugly player, so I think the trade was a good one

[Oh, Gee!!]

Just so we're all clear, Scola is one pug-fugly dude

BTW - I've lived overseas and watched those guys playing in that pie-wedge-shaped paint. Yeah, there is some talent in the Euro Leagues. But it is also a place where guys like Mengke Bateer can get some decent minutes. A standout PF there isn't playing the same game as they play in the NBA.

Scola may adapt to the NBA and be a solid performer. But put him up against the Cavs that we faced in the Finals, with all of the help defense looking for LeBron James? Drew Gooden is going to light his ass up. And heads-up against Rasheed Wallace? When Sheed isn't getting himself ejected, he'll be making Scola understand why Manu always has so many bruises. At least in the first season...who knows after that?

Sorry...but this season Scola won't be the best PF on the floor most nights - much less in the whole NBA. And if he proves me wrong, I'll be the first to come back and say so.

congrats Holt on letting the Rockets pass the Spurs up because your a cheap .

You're an over-reacting doofus, seriously.

I agree it was a poor deal in basketball terms, but the Rockets did not become better than us because of it.
