yup, this organization doesn't have a problem doing not-so-nice things to its players. that's another similarity between the spurs and the patriots. but maybe that's part of the reason they're both successful.
Once again.
Scola will get millions this year by either Tau, the Spurs, or another team.
My heart bleeds......

Sure, Scola ed about the draft night results because of his deal with Tau. Getting drafted in the 2nd round wouldn't get him out of his Tau contract like getting drafted in the 1st round would've.
The Spurs are bull ting everyone about the size of the buyout and they did so to bring in Oberto, not Scola. Now Scola is stuck playing in Europe for another season when all he wants is a shot to play in the NBA. Can't blame him for being pissed about that.
Nice of you to carry Holt Cat's water, whottt.
Kidd to SA ---it is a lock
Scola to spurs guaranteed
Oh, ok Dusty.
The only thing Scola does better than Oberto is score. That's it. And as a small power forward, scoring probably won't translate to the NBA.
Sam Clancy, who is all of 6'5 and a half, is getting huge conracts thrown at him from teams in Spain. They see him as a dominating power forward.
Oberto might be small for a starting center in the NBA, but on the Spurs he'd be playing next to Duncan. Those two upfront make the Spurs big.
Exactly.
No other team can sign him, and I would be pissed off If I were Scola too.
If they don't sign him this summer, then they should trade him to another team. I at least wanna see him in the NBA, I was hoping the Spurs, but oh well....
ing Spurs and their backstabbing ....
Tough ...he can't control where he gets dratfted at....lots of guys want to get taken in the first round and don't...that's what way it goes...You don't hear everyone else ing about it do you?
Most guys say they'll make everyone that passed on them regret it...this guy got pissed at the team that drafted him.
He should at his agent for signing a stupid contract.
How do you know?The Spurs are bull ting everyone about the size of the buyout and they did so to bring in Oberto, not Scola. Now Scola is stuck playing in Europe for another season when all he wants is a shot to play in the NBA. Can't blame him for being pissed about that.
It's not just the size of the buyout...
How much do you think Scola is asking for?
What if he's asking for 4 or 5 million a year? Should we pay it?
no...
Marcus I used think you were just stupid...but now I think you do it intentionally.Nice of you to carry Holt Cat's water, whottt.
If the Spurs knew the buyout was bad, then why TF did they bother to draft him?
If they didn't know the buyout was so high, then the Spurs ed up.
If the buyout is really the smaller number and the Spurs knew it, then drafting a guy but keeping him out of the NBA is pretty ty. The Spurs will go on whatever, but Scola's career is slipping away.
Will the full story ever be known?
its no big deal man. i never saw us bringing in scola anyways. honestly i never heard much of oberto either, but you can't teach size man.
at least manu is still on the team
If all this is true about the Spurs' trickery, all of a sudden I am remarkably disappointed in the team's management and leadership. I cannot believe they would lie like this in order to 1) juke a player who badly wants to play in the NBA, or 2) juke other teams in the NBA. Up until this point they have been as up-front and honest an organization as I have seen in professional sports, but this duplicity is sickening. It's craven and dishonest and I hope it's not true. Whether Scola ever comes or not - and now it looks like 'never' - I truly hope the Spurs are in no way equal to what is insinuated in this thread.
Well, it turns out the buyout isn't as big as the Spurs said it was. Now you would think they would know exactly what it was if they were so intent in bringing him over this summer.
whottt, you are one dumb mother er. Go watch one of your WWF DVDs.
Scola was drafted in the 50's. Even if he doesn't make it to the team until he's 30, it'd still be an outstanding pick.
Spurs fans are pretending that the Spurs had their pick of all-stars and went with Scola.
Don't cry for Scola Argentina...
We'll trade his ing ass as soon we can find someone willing to take a guy showing signs of being a cancer before he's ever played a game in the NBA.
I think we should send him to Detroit so he and Carlos Delfino can form the squad.
And he won't get a second of PT under Brown either....then he'll see where his ing got him.
Huh? How long have you been watching the Spurs operate?
You need to change your name to NBAMarcus...with your stupid conspiracies...
True. I think the Spurs wanted to get Oberto over here first and they only had room for either Oberto or Scola, not both, this summer. Oberto's deal was a little larger than what most in this forum expected. His price probably was a factor in this as well.
The Spurs don't have much room for a 4 on the bench now. They seem likely to move either Nazr or Rasho within the year so there was some room for a 5.
In a year or two with Horry fading or gone it will be Scola's time and that buyout will suddenly be immaterial.
DA. Spurs wouldn't offer him a guaranteed 6 years though that was clearly his market price. They were ing him around with all kinds of non-guaranteed and partially guaranteed year scenarios and forced him to go elsewhere. They never wanted him back in the first place. DA complained about it and the Spurs deflected plenty of heat for losing a player of his talent for SSmith's soon to be expiring contract.
They've done like that again and again.
exactly right.Spurs fans are pretending that the Spurs had their pick of all-stars and went with Scola.
Right in the back.
A really long time. They've always been one of the most direct franchises in dealing with players. Malik knew he was on the trading block - no surprise when he went. They didn't lie to Malone, saying they couldn't promise playing time. When did they ever backstab a player like they're doing to Scola? It's one reason they have, until this point, been widely respected with players, is because they don't fib, cajole, lie, and cheat.Huh? How long have you been watching the Spurs operate?
It most certainly isn't known at this point.
Too many Judge Judy's in here pounding their gavels without hearing anything other than an Ole reporter's comments.
Anderson, Derek.
Del Negro, Vinny.
Robinson, David.
Rose, Malik.
On and on and on. The Spurs will make anyone look like a greedy bas if it suits their purposes. Luis Scola may just be the next.
Scola needs to be patient - he's only 25. My question is... did the Spurs fill him full of promises, or did he get caught up in his own media hype that led him to believe he was a lock to go to the Spurs? I know that the Spurs wanted him, but this is a business and things can change very quickly. If Scola is smart, he'll take the opportunity to develop further.
But Luis doesn't want to play for the Spurs, he wants to be traded and pout...
If a guy says he wished your team hadn't draft him and says he wants to be traded, you ing trade him...and that's it.
And he's also shown a thin skin about being criticized.
This guy is not a Spur...trade his ing ass now.
