yeah. It's not Malik's fault he was a malcontent and whipping boy. You're generally an intelligent guy. It blows me away how completely you are missing the boat on this issue.
HOW IS IT BAD ON THE SPURS? They like Oberto more than they like Scola. SO THEY SIGNED OBERTO!! The 14 mil buyout rumor may have been started by someone with the Spurs, but that is only to make it seem that they are not down on Scolas playing ability. That helps him if he needs to find a team in the future, and it helps the Spurs if they want to move him.
STFU Marcus and get help.
That's not me, whottt.
This ain't the Clippers.
The Spurs are Champs. Should've won the last ing seven championships but thanks to Pop and his clones, they didn't.
I say Scola. If he wants to join a championship team, he should take the ing loss, buy out his own deal and accept whatever they give him or.....
stay the over there.
The Spurs should just keep his second rounds rights and tell him to screw off.
chill bro it happens all the time, he was our last pic, happens with most last pics
this guy has just been hyped up because his team won the olympics and alot of posters here are argentinian
Preach it brother.
Ludden is the mouthpiece for the Spurs. If he didn't play along, he would get zero scoops. If he became antagonistic then the result is O'Keeffe, Kevin.
That's what the Spurs would like you to believe.2) Poor Luis Scola for agreeing to sign a 10 year contract with TAU with either a 14.5 million or 3.2 buyout clause. I cannot believe a team would force him at gunpoint to do something like that... just horrible.
Expectations have risen for Spur 2nd round picks due to Ginobili, Manu.3) Poor Spurs for wasting such a valuable pick as the 3rd to the LAST pick in the draft. I feel that any pick at that level should be an All Star or they might as well have used it on a box of Tic Tacs.
The jury is out on that one until both show how well their game translates to the NBA. Oberto's bigger but his shooting touch is lacking somewhat. For whatever reason, the Spurs went with Oberto this summer. My guess is that it is because this was the last time he was willing to come over and because they could put Scola on hold for another year.4) Oberto is better than Scola because he either cost 3.2 or 14.5 million less than Scola with the odds of their contribution to the team being quite similar.
I just thought I would bring up what Kori said. The guy didn't talk directly to Scola, so we don't know if he's really pissed or not.
Hey, I'm not worried. We still have Brent Barry.
jesus marcus he was a late pick man, you've been had by all the hype
Luis is unnecessary.
Homework assignment for you. Find out what percentage of 2nd rounders in the bottom half of the draft
a) Make a team
b) Start
c) Make the all star team
d) Receive a post season award
The Spurs brought over they think will help them win now. If the Spurs thought Scola would bring more to the table than Oberto he would be a Spur right now. Nothing more to it.The jury is out on that one until both show how well their game translates to the NBA. Oberto's bigger but his shooting touch is lacking somewhat.

ginobili is god is probably taller than scola
big f'n deal its not like we expected this guy to be an immediate impact player....he was destined for like 10 mins a game
Oh I believe he's pissed. I've talked to both Julian and another Argentine reporter (right now on the phone) and they both have said the same thing (they've both talked to his manager). But even Julian said on the radio that maybe he's just pissed initially but after he cools down, he'll see it differently.
Oh, how one man(U) can raise expectations.
Um I'm not saying he was going to be anything in the NBA. I'm just explaining how the Spurs operate to those who are having a problem with the Spurs not bringing in Scola.
I have no problem in Oberto before Scola.
Not if the buyout was 3 mill.
Aren't they allowed to only spend 350K?
WTF?
Its Scola's responsibility to fulfill his ing contract, not the Spurs.
The Spurs did what they had to do to move the on. Champions don't wait. They build and everybody else follows.
Da Spurs.
The Spurs have never been good negotiaters anyway.
Manu got ed with his deal.
you sound pissed off, like the aggies just lost to baylor or something
Now that I believe. I'm sure he really had his hopes up and it's a huge let down. I don't think it's reason for people to be saying we should trade his rights.
I've watched both play, during World Championship 2002, Pre-Olimpics and in Greece.
I slightly prefer Oberto over Scola.
Though I must admit I hadn't watched the euroleague.
One of the reasons a prefer Fabrizio is his at ude. Oberto is closer to the Manu at ude. He´s loyal, and his enthusiasm is contagious. Scola had the chance to show off in the Olimpics just because Oberto was injured by Marbury.
After all, Scola is a fckn "porteño"! like me! We are all y bas s!
Bad move from the spurs, though...
The Spurs defer Scola joining the team for a year and they get bigman help from abroad anyways.
They still have Scola's rights and apparently the buyout is much more reasonable than the $14.5 mil figure. So either they'll have a badass player joining the team in a year or two or they'll have a valuable trade asset if he's as good as he's been hyped.
No problems here.
