True. It's impossible to defend Beno's performance as a Spur.
It's fun to read how some assholes are trying to defend the impossible.

Blame pop
Beno didn't fit.
RC thought Scola wouldn't fit.
The main issue with the trading of both is that the Spurs received nothing of basketball value in return for those two.
They didn't want anything of basketball value in return for those two.
It would have been nice, but it's all about the tax.
And, of course, what's done is done. But damn...
...and it showed. Maybe they should have.
It would have been nice, but that's not always how things work.
As of late. Hopefully Splitter and Mahinmi tear it up next season.
Who was beating down the door for either player? Was the fierce bidding war completely missed by everyone?
if spurs were winning would this be in the forum
Perhaps they waited too long and did a little too much to decrease those players' value.
Nah, Beno didn't have much value from the start and Scola wasn't available to anyone.
scola problem was his buyout
no team was willing to give him a contract he could buy out the contract
scola blamed the spurs
scola did not want to play for spurs
spurs made excuses wh¥ they did not want him
spurs did not want to tell everyone the fact scola hated the spurs
spurs wanted a chance to get more value for him but could not
END OF STORY
Teams are always on the lookout for any young point with talent. Granted, Beno had little desire to improve. Still, they dealt him for a top 50 protected pick from a team destined to be one of the league's worst 5 teams.
The Spurs did all they could to make him out to be unsignable and it took the Rockets, what, 3 days, to sign him for what it cost to sign Bonner.and Scola wasn't available to anyone.
The Spurs can draft international talent, but after that they seem to find a way to screw things up lately.
scola's buyout was very small if none
easy problem
There you go.
He was available last summer -- not before.The Spurs did all they could to make him out to be unsignable and it took the Rockets, what, 3 days, to sign him for what it cost to sign Bonner.
spurfans seem to find a way to about everything the Spurs have ever done after a loss.The Spurs can draft international talent, but after that they seem to find a way to screw things up lately.
About half of the NBA consists of players like that.
His rights were tradable before. So you have a guy you know who can play in this league and one that a team was willing to give a 3 year commitment to and you can't get more than a 2nd round pick?He was available last summer -- not before.
Well, how are they going to replenish the supporting cast, a group which currently is running on fumes? At some point the mismanagement of their talent is going to catch up with them.spurfans seem to find a way to about everything the Spurs have ever done after a loss.
You're a re .
and they aren't sought out by GMs either.
So what else changed in the meantime?His rights were tradable before. So you have a guy you know who can play in this league and one that a team was willing to give a 3 year commitment to and you can't get more than a 2nd round pick?
Nothing.
Scola was the same player. Once the terms of his contract were actually known, they didn't change either. Nothing changed.
Eh, that's the price of playing under the tax rules. It's happened to every team in one way or another. When the choice is this or cheering on the Anaheim Spurs on LeaguePass, I'll take this.Well, how are they going to replenish the supporting cast, a group which currently is running on fumes?

Some are.
He was worth a 3 yr/$10 mil deal to the Rockets. If he's worth that money to one team, then perhaps you can find a better deal than using his rights for a salary dump.So what else changed in the meantime?

Then sign Scola and make Bonner the lux tax casualty.Eh, that's the price of playing under the tax rules. It's happened to every team in one way or another. When the choice is this or cheering on the Anaheim Spurs on LeaguePass, I'll take this.
Beno wasn't.
Again, show me the bidding war.He was worth a 3 yr/$10 mil deal to the Rockets. If he's worth that money to one team, then perhaps you can find a better deal than using his rights for a salary dump.
And pay Butler's salary and tax?Then sign Scola and make Bonner the lux tax casualty.
Nah.
the Scola haters made it seem like his buyout was the great puzzle of life
Rockets said it was a non issue and it was done in 3 days
basically, the Spurs could have EASILY signed him for nothing, but instead gave some ridiculous contract to Bonner, who will be traded this off season
Benola thread!
scola the year before had a very huge buyout
it was a main problem earlier on
