Is that like jumping rope?
Spurs weren't ready to sign him to a $9M/3 years contract while he was one of the best player in europe. Strange...
Spurs FO should think that Scola will be a nba bust. In this case, trading him to a rival isn't a that big deal.
We will see if their evaluation for Scola was right.
Scola : Next Jasikevicius or next Nocioni ?
Keeping Butler two years would have cost almost $10M (with the luxury tax) and one roster spot this year. Was it worth the try ?
maybe so, I don't recall it.
All I remember recently was some mumbojumbo when asked about Splitter's buyout, that it was more clarified compared to Scola.
at spurs fans jumping bridge
No ...they weren't this outraged when the Spurs let Jack walk...
These clowns would be suicidal if Butler and Scola had actually been worth a crap in their Spurs careers up to this point...
Spurs FO hopes he's a bust or at least is not good enough to justify the $6 mil cash grab.
We'll see once he gets the minutes, which I don't believe Adelman will have a problem giving him.Keeping Butler two years would have cost almost $10M (with the luxury tax) and oen roster spot this year. Was it worth the try ?
The Lux Tax doesnt kick in until Feb. Surely they could have figured if he was/wasnt going to work out by then. If not, fine, deal him.
Jack leaving was pretty cool too. RC knows what he is doing.
As a Spur's fan though:
please scola make your buyout to tau $10000000000000!!!
1. The Spurs also thought so little of Hermann that he ended up signing with a horrible expansion team where he knew he'd be a bench player behind Wallace and Morrison, and he signed for about 0.66 Bonners
2. re: keeping Butler for 2 years, I could be wrong, but I believe that the second year wouldn't be against the luxury tax as multiple contracts are coming off that year like Horry, Finley and Barry. So while they might not have that much cap room in summer 08, they wouldn't be close enough to the tax to cost the Spurs anything extra.
Yeah, it was odd that they never really seemed to make a play for Hermann.
Yep.2. re: keeping Butler for 2 years, I could be wrong, but I believe that the second year wouldn't be against the luxury tax as multiple contracts are coming off that year like Horry, Finley and Barry.

I'm going to laugh at whottt the day he melts down when Barry leaves. Replace Butler with Barry in this trade, most of the forum would be happy because that would be a consequential salary dump, while whottt would be melting down Chernobyl style.
This is obviously the 2nd half of the Spurs offseason to plan to get rid of Barry, Beno, and Bonner, and acquire Emeka Okafor, Jameer Nelson, and Randy Foye.
The Spurs are on their way to becoming the new Knicks and Pacers one stop shop. As soon as a team was looking to dump a big contract they would call Isiah, as soon as they were looking for a draft pick they would call Larry. Now teams looking for assets/needs will come to Spurs for a favour because they know RC will dent the future of the franchise to put some $$$ in his back pocket.
Spurs have decided last year to sign Elson/Butler over Scola and have given this year a $9M/3 years contract to Bonner.
The problem with Scola wasn't a money problem last summer and this summer.
Either Spurs were really low on him or Scola didn't want to sign with Spurs. The first solution is the more likely. We will see who will be the best nba player : Scola or Bonner.
The last thing the Spurs would want to do now is jeopardize that $6 mil they just picked up. If the Spurs make any additional moves this summer Barry will likely be on the way out.
does that mean you're a roxs fan
Right...because Barry has actually contributed to two NBA les...just about every time picking up the slack for board darlings like Beno Udrih, Devin Brown and Chokael Finley.
The fact that most of the board would actively celebrate Barry leaving but outraged at two bigs who have contributed exactly jack to this team...is what mystifies me.
Then again...Michael Finley has carte blanche to be Bowen whiner, suck through an entire regular season worse than Barry ever and pull the greatest individual choke in Finals history....
And Spurs fans love him for it...
The only way it could get better for ya'll is is he ed ya'll sisters and nutted on your faces after he got done choking and sucking...
We will see if Spurs are right or wrong about Scola. Future will tell.
And Herrmann isn't that good, you will notice it next year.
You're right. It would have cost $7M. It seems to be a really expensive gamble.
Barry is worthless. But he's white and funny. Like Kerr. Northside liked him.
it's true. They just got done throwing that money on the pile. It's time to jump into it and make dollar angels.
Naw hes a pathetic little Cavs fan bathing in the misfortunes of the Spurs - Imagine how happy he would be if hes pathetic franchise would grown some balls and gotten Scola themselves which they were close to doing. But, it looks like they wont even have a decent power forward who can score next season either.does that mean you're a roxs fan
And the meltdown begins . . .
Don't be fooled. The Spurs could have put a mannequin out there in place of Barry in 2005 and 2007 and still won the championship.
FF ME! I should have just gone to bed.
