Updates: Luis Scola

[ChumpDumper]

Duncan at C and Scola at PF



TD plays center a lot anyway

With PFs parked outside the three point line.

He's not a deadly shooter, we all know that. He's no Dennis Rodman, but don't forget that he plays in Europe where the playing time is 40 minutes and he averages 29 minutes a game with TAU. 6.2 rebounds is pretty good in 29 minutes.

When I'm saying aat all costs, I'm meaning the mid level.

So his use in offensive sets with Duncan will be...?

5.6 in 27 minutes in Euroleague, which puts him a little under Marcus Haislip. Please don't bring up ACB unless you want to discuss Marcus Fizer.

That's pretty much all costs -- what else is there?

bonner will never more than a 7th or 8th on any nba team. scola, on the other hand, his potential is huge. he could be a great nba player if given the chance. the spurs aren't getting any younger. finley, barry, horry, vaughn all need to be replaced with a couple of young guys that have star potential. and scola + duncan could be an awesome duo. with oberto during the playoffs we all saw the destructive potential the spurs have the when the other big guy playing with duncan is a scoring threat. now imagine a post player that is much better offensively than oberto. that would be downright scary.

the spurs need to stop being cheapskates (we all know they are) and do what needs to be done to finally get a repeat in san antonio.

[Bruno]

Scola isn't a good rebounder.
FYI, Romain Sato, who plays in Italia and won the championship today, averages 6.3 rebounds in 28 minutes.

[Marcus Bryant]

Neither Finley nor Oberto would have to be re-signed using MLE money if either opted out, but your point is taken if you are talking about replacing them.

Yep.

[ChumpDumper]

@ Oberto's being a scoring threat. Why do you think he was open all the time?

Again, I'm fine with signing Scola -- only after taking care of our more pressing needs.

[Gummi]

So what do you want Chump? Sign Posey like some people want and stack up swing players that all need minutes? The Spurs most likely won't trade Barry or Finley this summer.

I just don't think that we need to sign a swing player until next season when Barry, Finley, Bowen are supposed to come off the books.

Add a player like Scola and call it quits.

Add a defensive long three and a point guard, another young guy and call it quits.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Pwnt!

[Gummi]

OK. Be rude. Nice.

[ChumpDumper]

You'll know when I'm being rude. Your post simply begged for the madlibs treatment.

Obviously other people on this board think much more highly of Scola's NBA potential than I do. I'd love to be wrong about it.

and say goodbye to any championship hopes in 2009.

because duncan was constantly double teamed. not many teams can win with only three players on the court at any time who can score. you think the spurs can do that two years in a row? i don't think so.

08-09 is the season we're saving the cap space for. Who knows who could be signed then?

So how much is Scola going to score per game and what is that worth the next 3-5 years?

[itzsoweezee]

next year, probably not much. but the year after that, he's going to demand a lot of attention from the other team. spurs have to build for the future. they can draft a guard or a small forward, but they're definitely not going to get a big man with the talent of scola in the draft. and if they bring him over this year, he'll be able to put in big time minutes in 2009.

you tell me nostradamus

[ChumpDumper]

I know you are but what am I?

[itzsoweezee]

thanks for playing.

[MajorMike]

The best thing we can do with him is trade him if Fab comes back.

[ChumpDumper]

[Despot]

Well, IF Scola was in the draft this year, where do most of you think he would go?
