Send both Scola and Mahinmi to the D-League.
Pau isn't sure at all to play the euroleague next season.
They had to win the french league to participate at next year euroleague.
If Pau isn't qualified for the euroleague, Mahinmi will have to choice between staying with them and playing only the french league, signing with a new euroleague team or signing with Spurs.
Mahinmi is at least a legit 6'10".
Send both Scola and Mahinmi to the D-League.
Scola has nothing to do in D-League.
Heard 6'10 and three-quarters at his pre-draft workout. He should be hovering around 7' when he's fully grown.
About his on-court time for Pau. The foul-trouble that plagued him in the Summer League didn't disappear. Even if the opportunity was available for him to play more, he would still take himself out of the game with his propensity to foul. It's a problem...
If the Spurs were to sign Scola, he would be the Horry replacement, but would they develop him how they did with Oberto last year or put him in the rotation already?
The only thing about bringing Mahinmi over next year is that he will certainly be a d-leaguer, but will still count against the roster, of which the Spurs only have 15 spots. Guys like Finley, Barry, Oberto, and Elson all have guaranteed contracts that run through next year. That, plus the potential of three draft picks (at least one a guaranteed contract if it's not a draft & stash). I just don't see the room for Mahinmi next season. I think he doesn't come over until 2008.
I thought there was a team option for Oberto after this season.
He might not go in the rotation, but I doubt they would put him in the D-League. Oberto rode the pine all of his first year, but he spent it with the team.
About his on-court time, how much he plays would depend on the Spurs' needs and his ability to adapt to the NBA game.
Player option...he might utilize it if he's out of the rotation, but its a guaranteed $2.5M, would you walk away?
Convince him he's worth $3M. Anything to get him off.
Oberto can opt out too to get more money if he continues to get some playtime this year.
When I see what contracts Voskhul and Ot a Harrington have received last summer, I can see some teams offering a multiyear contract with more than $2M per year.
Agreed. I can only handle two Argentinians on the Spurs at once, so if they bring Scola on, or try to go after Nocioni, I'm gonna need Oberto to skip town.
Argentinians....
Just kidding, don't be offended ye people of Argentina...
Sounds like only Scola may be useful within the next tw0-three years. The rest of these guys are chronic pine-riders who can't even start...er make that...get into serious minutes in the rotations for their Euro teams.Scola might be good
That fact alone virtually eliminates them from serious consideration.
I think Ian's game, more specific his defense, would translate better to the NBA than in an International League. The structure of the game is based differently than the NBA, which is why America suffered during the Olympics. Also considering other International teams have been under this system for quite some time. That being said, Ian's foul trouble doesn't concern me. Yeah, he did have trouble in summer league. I do believe the Euroleague will benefit his abililty to withstand foul trouble, as the officiating tends to be quite sensitive.
Horry is retiring in the offseason anyways.
besides Scola won´t be your tipical just out of college roockie.
I agree about Fabricio Leaving the spurs though,As much as I respect Oberto,I don´t think he can do any better tham what he already did so far.he´s got a spurs all times record already anyways(12/12 fg% in a game vs the suns)Agreed. I can only handle two Argentinians on the Spurs at once, so if they bring Scola on, or try to go after Nocioni, I'm gonna need Oberto to skip town.
Argentinians....
Just kidding, don't be offended ye people of Argentina...
But I really think the spurs need a bigger stronger and faster center tham him.
If Oberto leaves it's probably to go back to Europe. I see him spending his dowager years anchoring some Euroleague team, perhaps off the bench for stretches.
if scola is not playing the NBA next season, i'm going to be pissed. even more pissed than i was this past off season from the ineptness demonstrated by the spurs front office.
He can even be a decent backup Center for a y NBA team,but the spurs need someone else in order to fight for the NBA le.
That'd be hilarious. Scola would score about 55 ppg and kill random passers-by every game out of rage.
Couldn't agree with you more on your first paragraph.
They all sound like bust except for maybe Scola. RC needs to give some of his salary back.
yeah them 20 year olds, give up on em.They all sound like bust except for maybe Scola
ing idiots.
Tall talk from someone who wanted us to spend the whole MLE on Roberto Javtokas. And I bet you haven't even seen Ian play, either
Ian showed enough IMO, to bring him over this year and play him as a 12th man.
