stuff bulls 16th pick, just trade him for deng or ben gordan
He signed his contract with Tau before being drafted by the Spurs. So the Spurs weren't around for any consulting.

Yeah he signed that contract when he was like 16 or 17, IIRC.
not surprising.
Now the proposed packages, that have been flopped around here, could come true.
Barry + Scola and whatever.
I trust Spurs management in their decision.
Their track record of deciding on euros is good so far.
I see. That contract was nevertheless his undoing... what a shame.
Like Oberto??
Something seems odd about this whole situation. When have the Spurs come right out and said they are shopping someone? I can't recall any. This leads me to believe one of two things may be happening. One, they are trying to decrease their apparent desire to sign Scola so that his asking price drops and Maybe Tau's buyout will go down as Scola threatens to leave as a free agent next year (as has been speculated here). I don't think this is likely though. Rather, I think that the Spurs already have a deal in place and are waiting for the draft or just after whenever the timing allows it to occur. Going public with their desire to trade Scola is a move to help whoever the Spurs are trading with since anyone trading for him would want to know they can sign him. I'm probably wrong but something about this whole thing just seems kind of "off".
From reading the original thread, people seemed to have taken it that the noun is Scola (ie read it to mean Scola busca negociar sus derechos).
I don't think this is correct. The antecedent appears to me to be San Antonio ( note San Antonio le communico - ie San Antonio is singular even though we say the Spurs).
As I read it, the meaning is San Antonio will look to trade his rights.
And this is an important difference. This is a flat assertion that San Antonio is shopping Scola's draft rights.
This also makes sense with what Kori told us about working out James White on the 19.
I don't know what you are talking about. Everyone translated it as the Spurs are trying to trade Scola's rights. What's different about your translation?
"
It does say that he's willing to negotiate his rights
I was hoping we would sign him for the 06/07 season
"
Try again.
From another poster.
Well read the thread in the beginning. Everyone is talking about how the Spurs are trying to trade his rights. Maybe just that one poster is confused.
he's willing to negotiate his rights
or
Spurs looking to trade his rights.
There is a difference.
his rights is clearly a translation from sus derechos.
We know what ought to have preceded it and it wasn't there.
I saw that and I wanted to help by clarifying.
My fault.
try not to let it happen again.
I understand you trying to clarify for that one poster. But it didn't need a new thread, that's all.
Too many Scola threads.
Anyway, I have no idea what team would want him because his buyout is still fairly large. It will be interesting to see what happens.
We don't have to worry about them not getting this guy. One thing the Spurs are better at than probably everyone else is evaluating talent. Perhaps their only real mistake in the last few years was overating Rasho. Obviously if they thought Scola has the talent to storm the NBA and be an all star they would do whatever it took to sign him.
FUKKK, I seriously hope we get someone DAMN good for him
If anyone saw WOAI tonight, please post what you heard David Chancellor report.
I heard him report that ONE of Scola's agents said that the Spurs have not contacted him about Luis and that he does not know what they want to do. The agent said that maybe after the draft the Spurs will decide what direction they want to go in. David Chancellor then said that the agent will reportedly be in San Antonio later this week.
I would like confirmation from someone that they heard this as well or their impression of what was said. I certainly got the impression that at the very least, the Spurs may still yet sign Scola and have not told his agent (at least this one) they are shopping his rights.
He's Spurs property if he wants to join the NBA. Apparently he is being treated as such.
This report contradicts what has been reported in the Argentina newspaper. There is a communication breakdown somewhere here but I for one hope Scola is not off the Spurs radar. Scola's agent is coming to SA to negotiate after the draft in case the Spurs decide they want him. Please let that be the case!
Confirmed. Your version of what Chance said is an accurate account...perhaps verbatim.
Here's the clip from the news.

alright alright.
So now, the agent wants to now negotiate a contract?
Can the Spurs somehow pull off a trade to get into the first round?
That's the question, right? I've been feeling a trade into the first round for some time now.
I doubt they will.
It totally goes against what the Spurs have done in the past and the recent past.
Ive never known for the Spurs to trade into the lottery or semi higher up part of ANY draft.
of course the year of the supposed "weakest class ever" the Spurs will trade in to....
... grab the young small forward prospect they've had their eye on, of course.
All this information concering Scola and this years NBA Draft is too exciting. But, what is driving me bananas is what exactly is their Ace in the hole and what false trails (cookie crumps) they are dropping off to ward off the bloodhounds.
Man, it is good be a Spurs fan.
