Luis Scola Might Choose Spain Over San Antonio

[ArgSpursFan]

You are correct. No one is claiming to know what is in his mind, everyone here is just offering their opinions on what might be happening.

I stick by my original point. If he wants to play in the NBA, there are ways to make it happen. If he wants to play in the NBA, but his agent is preventing it, he needs a new agent. If he does not want to try his game at the highest level, he needs to say so and the Spurs need to move on.

I agree on that.But at the same time,it wouldnt be fair to say that it´s all scola´s fault,when there´s always been 2 parts in the negotiation Scola & the Spurs.

Y'all are projecting WAY too much onto this situation and are being way too hard on Scola. He can't control this situation anymore than the Spurs or the NBA or you or I can.

1) Scola's dad signed the crazy 10 year contract when he was 17. He had no say in it.

2) Scola was not able to opt out of the draft because of his age.

3) There is no verification that Scola whined about the Spurs' "rebound more" comment. In court it's called "hearsay".

4) No one knows what's going on in Scola's mind or how much he wants to play in the NBA. All we have is speculation from NBA rumor sites based on inaccurate translations from Argentine rumor sites.

The simple fact is Scola just has a very very very unusual contract situation that is not his fault. There's no sense in getting angry at him about that.

It's pretty clear this story was floated by his agent to hold the Spurs and the front office's feet to the fire. You think the guy is doing it without Scola's approval?

He's getting up there in age, and is trying to land a big payday. But he hasn't proven a thing in the NBA yet, so he needs to get his agent in check and deal with the Spurs like a man.

I guess his agent wasn't paying attention during the Derek Anderson free agency - you try and negotiate with the Spurs publically, and you lose.

And to make things worse his agent might have a conflict of interest if he doesn't get a cut of Scola's NBA salary.

[Mr. Body]

What makes you think Scola's agent hasn't dealt privately with the Spurs "like a man" and many times over? Dealing with the Spurs isn't the point - they'll do what they want to do - so it's a matter of forcing something to happen.

[Oh, Gee!!]

who cares?

[ArgSpursFan]

the thing with the spurs F.O this Offseason is that they have no pressure at all,coze of the last season performance.If the Spurs didn´t win the championship last season,Scola would´ve been introduced to the press with his spurs uniform already.

People hate on Scola. Scola comes to the Spurs and produces, everybody rides on Scola's nuts.

And the World keeps turning . . .

I am so sick of hearing about Scola. He will never play a day in SA, and probably never play in the NBA.

Did his dad not opt out of a draft where he had no hope of going in the first round because of that horrible contract?

I'm just tired of the whole thing. I'm tired of Luis whining. I'm tired of his agent whining. It is what it is. His rights belong to the Spurs, so if he wants to play NBA ball, he'd better start dealing with it.

Man if you got that contract when you were underage, for sure some fans would changed their sex to get those $
