ahhhh penny for the lot reciept. Ok, that makes sense now.
You don't get it. This gets them under the salary cap and keeps an extra 6 million in Holt Cat's pocket.
Mission accomplished.

If you're right, then the move makes much more sense to me. As I understand things, the clock is ticking on Scola's NBA availability and it seems obvious that the Spurs aren't willing to meet whatever demands Scola has for leaving Tau. If all of the foregoing is true, then the chances are pretty good that Scola won't be in the US for at least another year or two and the Spurs have now been able to get at least something useful -- some breathing room and a bit of roster flexibility -- for his rights.
Geez. I step away from the computer for 10 minutes and the sky falls. Damn.
The suck ass thing though is that the Spurs don't even get a trade exception out of it that they could use next year. Horrible ass piece of trade.
I wonder if Marcus still thinks the world of that piece of Lindsey.
The problem is that Butler's trade value was higher than a second round pick. Scola's trade value should have been a lot higher than a second round pick. Yet the Spurs packaged them together for a second round pick. And the Spurs are still stuck with Beno, who is the worst contract on the team.
I see nothing good about this trade. The Spurs basically salary dumped a guy on a one year contract for less than half the MLE.
Worst trade in franchise history.
Hmmmmmmm . . .
Pop.
R.C.
Linsey
Holt
All cheap s, all sellouts.
This is the tiest trade in Spurs history. 'em all.
EXACTLY.
The Spurs got like a peso on the dollar in this trade. Scola is freakin' good and Butler has potential.
Worst trade in Spurs history.
no
If I could find a decent air fare I would fly down to SA tomorrow and slap every one of those assholes (Pop, R.C., Linsey, and especially Holt ).
Usually I accept AHF's Holt rants as just par for the course and let them go.
This time though....I think you nailed it bro.
This is ed up. Only thing we can hope for now is that Butler never develops and Scola stays in Europe. Even then....well, it still blows.
i wish i had something positive to say
This is like dumping Jessica Alba because she won't swallow and going home with Roseanne Barr.
I hate our front office.
And on top of that, Scola is very likely to come over this season. And he has a built in hatred for the team down the road that kept him out of the NBA for five years.
OMG this is such a bad deal. Just sit on Scola's rights and trade Beno. The difference in savings would have been about $600K when compared to this trade.
I do...i wish i had something positive to say
I am positive this sucks.
Read the rest of the article.
This is like a bad dream. Scola is going to light us up for the rest of his career, and he's a division rival that we get to see 4 times a year now.
We traded two of our most tradeable commodities for a second rounder and some cash for some hooch for Holt.
Yep probably more so than RC in terms of final say
Butler does show an ap ude for Adelman's high post passing game ...
... and his crappy defense.
And not even the good stuff.....we got a bottle of Thunderbird.We traded two of our most tradeable commodities for a second rounder and some cash for some hooch for Holt.
Every riveting paragraph is pregnant with a solitary, strong message: "I'm never going back to the USA".
couldn't even toss in a s&t'd chuck hayes or something? i guess we'll see if they make any other moves.
They won't. This is mission accomplished. Holt is under the lux tax threshold and banking.
