I am not sold harrington would want to come off the bench
pacers were winning but he still wanted to start
Id do a Rasho Scola for Harrington deal yesterday.
Long three, great scoring ability.
Problem is, he would have to come off the bench the first couple years, and he did demand a "Start me or trade me" thing in Indiana.

He came off the bench for the Pacers. So why wouldn't he come off the bench for the Spurs?
he demanded to be traded if he came off the bench that is why he is a hawk
The Pacers know what to do with whiners.
Yes, it's a joke.
One thing in this article is that it says:
Meaning that Scola wants a minimum of 3 million euros a year. That's nearly $4M/year. Good luck.El posible receptor, de este modo, podría adquirir dos pívots casi por el precio de uno. Desde Argentina estiman que el capitán baskonista precisaría un salario mínimo de tres millones de euros anuales para no perder dinero con este hipotético cambio de aires.
Kori--maybe I missed it somewhere, but what trade offers have the Spurs turned down. I have repeatedly seen this posted, and even heard the local sports folks talking about it. It would be interesting to see who they passed on.
he played with manu he is worth it
that is close to the mle and that is what rose's deal started out
UNREAL YOU GREEDY SCOLA
that is close to what lebron james is making ....... rookie contract
hawks could give it to him since no fa will sign them
The Spurs don't say what offers.Kori--maybe I missed it somewhere, but what trade offers have the Spurs turned down. I have repeatedly seen this posted, and even heard the local sports folks talking about it. It would be interesting to see who they passed on.
Dealing with the Hawks makes sense ... but not for Al Harrington. He's a postup small forward, which would never fit in the Spurs' offense. He's also a ballhog who the Hawks have tried to trade since they got him.
Harrington was in a good position with the Pacers. He was their sixth man and had a nice niche for himself. Then he demanded a trade so he could start. He was actually happy when he landed on the Hawks. He's all about scoring and does little to make a team better.
If the Spurs are going to give Rasho and Scola to the Hawks, I think the player you have to target is Josh Childress. He'd be a perfect player for Bowen to teach. He's long, already plays good defense and can rebound the ball. He also has good character and is a very good teammate.
The only other players on the Hawks I would be interested in (assuming Josh Smith and Marvin Williams are untouchables) are Donta Smith and Cenk Akyol. Smith is a project, but I've liked what I've seen out of him. He's another small forward who is extremely athletic. Akyol is a Turkish guard who Buford said was a steal late in the second round this draft. I've seen him play and I'd agree. He's 6-foot-4 and can play either guard position. He can shoot the lights out and plays a very poised game. Also important to note is that he can stay overseas for a couple years, freeing up a spot on the current Spurs roster.
Rasho and Scola for Childress would be awesome. Rasho and Scola for Smith, Akyol and a pick would work too.
P.S.
Boris Diaw sucks and Salim Stoudamire wouldn't fit on the Spurs.
If I'm RC...
Scola's rights, Rasho, and Beno to Atlanta for Josh Childress and a first round draft pick top 10 protected through 2008.
That should make Atlanta bite.
Spurs get their SF, have a good draft pick down the road, Atlanta gets 3/5 of its starting 5.
It doesn't mean Scola wants that money. It means that his agent estimates he would need that kind of money to cope with the buyout.
now the excuses it is his agent not scola
You don't deal Beno. Rasho and Scola's rights for Childress is plenty.
Rasho and Scola for Gooden and other one, like Pavlovic
Pop have Danny Ferry´s Phone
What is the likelihood of this being acceptable to both parties???????
Open to anyone with an opinion.
Look, with the buyout thing the way it is, Scola's coming over to the NBA right now just isn't realistic, no matter what his "dreams" or "goals" are. TAU is not going to let him go. That $4M/year (more like $3.6 given today's exchange rate) or whatever it is, is the low end, if the buyout can be negotiated down in arbitration.
The Spurs couldn't afford to sit around and wait to find out whether upon arbitration Scola's salary needs would be within their price range. That won't be determined until when, September? Is there even a firm arbitration date? Is anything about Scola's buyout nailed down, or was his agent just telling the Spurs "the check's in your mouth, I won't come in the mail" over and over again? Oberto was a free agent, and if the Spurs had kept him waiting while this Scola saga dragged on, he'd have signed elsewhere.
Sorry Luis, you can whine all you want, but with your contract situation, no NBA team is going to want you. You're stuck.

The Spurs should be greedy with their tradeable bigs. It's hard in the NBA to find a decent big to give some money to. Someone gave Adonal Foyle forty million dollars, another gave Brian Cardinal forty million and yet another gave Erick Dampier seventy million dollars.
Rasho and Nazr are more than capable of starting for 3/4ths of the teams in the NBA. Scola is an unknown but has a lot of potential. blowing it all on some marginal swingman just because the Spurs will need a 3 man in 2007. It's time to get greedy. You want a starting center? You will pay. You will pay with a real talent and 1st rounder. Minimum.
I agree with marcus.
It's a nice thought but we might also be trying to cut costs. How badly we want the salary gone would determine what we take back in that case. Remember Malik.
just a correction ... in your translation
Scola NEEDS a min of 3M of euros a year
Nesterovic and Scola for Childress would be great, but I don't see Atlanta giving that up. I also want to know if Oberto can really give us solid minutes. The way I see it, Oberto was signed to fill Mass & Marks mins., not Nesterovic's mins. So if we trade Rasho, then Duncan will be getting major minutes @ center, meaning Horry will be getting major minutes @ the 4. For me we are talking about giving up a valuable big for a very good 3 who will only come off the bench. I would be more excited if I knew we were signing another 5 or getting Collier in the trade.
