- Did the Spurs made a bad deal? Yes, but there have been worse, just take a look at the past couple of weeks in the NBA.

Depends...if we win the le again this season it'll be 100% certain that Scola wasn't needed...and I'm still of the mind that the Spurs got the best deal they could...

I mean I don't really want to see Scola in Cleveland...do you? That's worse than him being on the Rockets.

Cleveland doesn't need much to be a champion...a scoring PF just might do it.

The Rockets OTOH needs a whole lot of stuff still...like for TMac to be a winner.



And if we don't win a le? Call it a hunch...but I have a feeling it won't be because we couldn't score inside....Mr. Duncan will take care of that...better than anyone in the NBA and most guys in NBA history.





As for what this did for Scola's career...Spurs are the NBA champions...if we win the le again this season...ole Luis is going to be hurting over that. It's not that easy to win an NBA le...some guys, many guys, never do.

Scola only had 6 pts and 2 rebounds last night in 11 minutes. Seems Adleman wanted to play defense against the Kings. Instead of Scola/Landry, he played Bonzi, Hayes, and Battier heavy minutes. Had an 18 pt lead going into the 4th and blew it against the Kings. Almost lost this game..I blame that on coaching! argh. Novak saved the game with 2.4 seconds to go with a game winning 3 ptr.

Yeah but the Spurs would be paying Butler instead of the Rockets which was the point of the trade. Scola isn't what the Spurs could use most.

ONE MORE QUESTION:

ANY GM OF THE NBA CAN TRADE A STARTER FOR A SECOND ROUND PICK?

If one manager trade his second round pick for a starter, is a genious

[ArgSpursFan.]

If one manager trade his second round pick for a starter, is a genious

or............the one manager who traded the starter and got a second round pick in return is a dumbass.
It could be too.

Who the keeps this thread going.

What the does this have to do with the Spurs.

Maybe we should have the Official Stephen Jackson thread.

Stephen Jackson played for the Spurs. We need to have Offical Bill Curley, Leandro Barbosa, John Salmons and Tracy Murray threads guys who were drafted by the Spurs and never played for them.

MVP les or first team les means that you are a "natural winner".

I guess that Dirk or Nash are winners.

The biggest part of Scola's career is what he has done with Tau. He win nothing significant with Tau except a Spanish le in 2002 while Scola wasn't the main player of this team.

Calling Scola a winner because of MVP awards or because of a couple of successful summer is just plain wrong.

Scola was a great player in Europe, not a winner. It's a FACT, his lack of les are here to back up that.

LOSER AND WINNER?

What a strange way to see things.
Is everything black or white ?
Not being a winner doesn't mean that you are a looser.

and why doesn't that apply on Scola now.????
It looks to me that you're not being the same way with Scola Mr.
Scola has more tham a gold medal in his career,maybe He just lacks of an Euroleague le,but that's about it.

[Bruno]

It looks like you have some serious reading comprehension troubles.
Did I say Scola is a loser ? No.
You said Scola is a a "natural winner" and I just said he isn't that.

It's just unreal to see a bunch of angry Scola's fans going after me while I've just said that a player who doesn't win isn't a winner.
Maybe Scola's fans should sue the dictionary to have as definition for winner "someone who wins" and not "someone whose name is Luis Scola"

[whottt]

Scola was the worst player for the rookie team yesterday.

well, you said he is a chocker,and that He never showed up in important games.
I guess,that should go to those ALL StARS who never won an NBA le too, but it doesn't.(Of course,acording to your nonsence criteria)

[Bruno]

well, you said he is a chocker,and that He never showed up in important games.

First, choker isn't the same thing than looser.
Second, I've never that Scola was a choker. Give a link where I said that or STFU.

All Stars who never won a NBA le aren't winners.
Being a chocker or not has nothing to do with winning or not a NBA le.

I guess the elimination game vs Brazil in Vegas doesn't count for you as well,right?
And eather the Semis and Final in Athens.
Look,Scola has shown that He was ment to play at the highest level in world Basketball,It don't really matter what you think.
It's just hilaruis that while you say all those things about Scola,you also say that you think Ian can actually play at the same level in the Nba.
Hey,It's not not fault,you're french, just like Ian.

[nkdlunch]

LMAO at ppl complaining about Scola's rookie game. Scola is like Manu, worthless in allstar games. He ain't a balla, he's a team player.

[Bruno]

you also say that you think Ian can actually play at the same level in the Nba.

Link ?
I'm also waiting for the link where I called Scola a choker.

Hey,It's not not fault,you're french

You've crossed the line.
I despise people making that kind of comment and I'm done talking to you.

[Allanon]

The most ironic thing about Scola is how perfect he would be for the Spurs right now. What's worse is if Spurs go up against Rockets in the first round and Scola goes off.

For the Spurs, Scola going to the Rockets might even be a worse deal than Pau to the Lakers.

Classic "If I can't actually back up any of my arguments, then resort to insulting the other guy" defense.

Then again, considering it's ArgSpursfan, should I really be surprised?
