That is his own money.
I thought he said he'd pay the buyout with his own money.
Scola might have to play another year for Tau. He seems to really want to come over though as the most an NBA team can pay of his buyout is 500k and he seems to be willing to pay $3 million of his own money to get out of his contract. He's got to pretty pissed at the Spurs right about now. Oh and who was the guy who comparedhis contract to the first overall pick's contracts? That's stupid those are on a pay scale you know they would 3-4x that much on the open market. Oden would be able to find a team that would pay him $12-13 million next year. Even the deals Wade and James are offered are on a max basis and they would get more too.
Why would he be pissed at the Spurs?
The Spurs would have had him here a couple summers ago if he didn't have a buyout.
All they can pay by the rules is 500k and he has to pay the rest. He is willing to pay his share but they won't pay that relatively small amount and seem willing to make him play another year overseas if the right deal doesn't come along. He really wants to play in the NBA and they're making him wait.
Well you realize he still wants the Spurs to pay him $4M a year for him to "pay his share". He's not worth $4M a year.
Scola's only got his agnet that signed the contract with Tau to blame. And himself for listening to that agent.
Has Scola ever been in San Antonio? It seems all the other Spurs' foreign talent have been through here at one point, but I've never heard of him coming to Texas even once.
C'mon they paid Oberto $2.5 million a year-he wasn't first team all Euroleague. Scola has to be thinking he's worth at least 1 million or so more.
True, Quad. The Spurs set a high bar by giving Oberto much more than he was worth.
And why Robertas won't be content with the LLE either.
Robertas Javtokas. Where you been??
Link?And why Robertas won't be content with the LLE either
there was a rumor he might be in sa draft night but he came on his own who knows if he even talked to the spurs
it is in the interview with the scola thread
It will also be an intriguing summer for center Brendan Haywood , whose relationship with coach Eddie Jordan disintegrated last season. Haywood averaged 7.3 points and 5.9 rebounds in 23.8 minutes and was replaced in the starting lineup twice.

how bout him? trade Nazi?
All the reports have been that his deal will have a third year option, so it can't be the LLE.
if it is 3 it can not be the lle
nothing is signed
2 would be great because spurs still would have grandfathered in hsi birdrights and can sign him to any amount....
