The truth is much less exciting than the myth.

My search ability is the same as yours. Get to it. I know what I said and everyone else is content to believe what they want. Whenever it's brought up, it means I've won whatever argument I'm in and the other guy is desperate to change the subject. I'm fine with folks using it as a white flag.
He's not as good a rebounder as Oberto, averaging less than 6 in the Euroleague, but is probably a better low post scorer. Rather than signing him, and attempting to get RFA Noccioni, I'd rather offer him as bait to Chicago FOR Noccioni. They need a low post scorer, and have wing players and guards coming out of their asses.
As much as that would be great, Scola aint worth squat unfortunately....
He's worth something to other teams, but he's worth more to the Spurs. And it will stay that way until he comes over here and proves himself in the NBA.
Probably more to Chicago than to us. They've got the rebounding and interior defense covered, but don't have any bigs that can post up in the paint effectively.
The S&T you suggest is very unlikely. For starters, if it's for more than the MLE, the Spurs would have to offer equal salary...so that would mean offering Barry + Scola at least and hoping that the Bulls take that deal. If the Spurs ONLY offer him the full MLE (which I'm not sure he'd take), the Bulls would match.
What I've garnered from reading-
1. Luis Scola is a Spurs prospect playing for Tau Ceramica of a certain European league
2. He is 28, and we could have gotten him at a much younger age where it not for his agent.
3. He will be at his easiest this offseason to get, and judging from the Spurs this season, they will make a harder push for him than in years past.
4. We also might make a run at the Chicago Bulls' restricted free agent Andres Nocioni, but this has not been brought up in other threads beside this one, and this is an unlikly possibility.
5. That would make our starting lineup 2/5 Argentian, 3/5 if Scola was retained as well and he broke into the lineup.
6. Some of Scola's strength's include his speed? his awareness (d or offensive?) and his ability to score in the low post.
Conclusion-Well if he's available Id be one of the first to welcome him here, and Id only have a problem with him because he'd be close to that magic number of 30.
