the mistake was drafting him
I'm sure Matt Bonner would have gotten tournament MVP and carried a bunch of division 2 juan burritos to the championship game at the fifa's too. You can even put Mahimni and Elson in that sentence! Let's face it Spurs don't NEED Scola. We've got the core that won 3 les in the past 5 years. But to me it was a mistake to pull the trigger on Bonner so early. Which lead us to having to trade one of the best european post presence to a division/ conference threat in the houston rockets. That's something you just don't do as a GM. I personally think Peter Holt was breathing down R.C's neck to get under the lux tax and jackie butler didn't help the situation with his depressing overpaid contract. That's where Bonner's new 3 million comes into the equation. No I'm not scared of those rockets. But the thought of Battier, Scola and a healthy Yao and TMac, along with perhaps the rekindled Bonzi Wells we saw first hand in 06' due to Rick Adelman's presense can be scary. And lets all agree now, a recycled Steve Francis and hard nosed Mike James is a huge improvement to the Rafer " Skip to my Lou" Ruin 10 possesions a game Alston and Luther Head. Scola is a player, yes it was only the FIBA's and yes Shane Heal, Spanoulous, Batista all shared success in the FIBA's WC's and Olympics throughout the years but so did Manu, Pau Gasol, Sabonis, Barbosa, Nowitzki Ect. For you to compare Scola to those inferior NBA players is unfair because we haven't seen him in the NBA yet. From what I've seen over the years, especially in this year's FIBA's is a guy who refused to throw in the white flag when down to the U.S by 25 plus and showed that Argentine Spartan from 300 mentality that only Manu Ginobili carries on his shoulders. That mentality right there is what winners are made out of. As a Spurs fan I wish the spurs brought in Scola for Butler money (7.5 mil over 3 years), instead of overpaying an 11th man who has no idea what it's like to play in a big game or to be in the " Fire". Trading Scola to the rockets was a mistake. For those who don't agree, ask yourself Who would i rather have on my roster Luis Scola or Matt Bonner?
Paragraphs: They're not just for breakfast anymore.
i have seen euro guards whos game havent translated to the nba but what will change for scola as a big man that he hasnt seen. what will prevent him 4rm being successful?? its funny when spurs owned his rights i didnt see 1 spurs fan post that said "this guys game wont go over into the nba. where were the lets wait and see if he will be good when he was spurs property. now he a rocket and the guy have no chance in the nba. spurs fans will go so low to bring some reason to spurs f.o up by trading a polished 27 yr old pf to a divisional rival who were in need of a pf. Rockets beat spurs twice last yr 1nce with just yao and the other with just tracy. NOW TRACY YAO AND SCOLA
It would have been hard to see those posts when you joined in July
i joined so i could reply; otherwise visitors can only read post not reply to them.
So you've been lurking for 5 years? Damn, thats a long time
im from texas and enjoy watching rockets and spurs, i dont hate spurz i do hate mavs but thats a dallas vs houston thing. the thing that gets me is how spurs fans is ting on this guy and down playing him because he isnt a spur. for 1 if u go into a rockets forum we not posting every other post about what spurs are doing. we were excited to get a pf a position we needed much needed help, and scola somehow fell in our laps. to not be worried bout the rockets is a bunch of shyt because spurz is not at that level where they cant be beat, even the shaq and kobe regime came to a end.

Good for Pop, RC and Spurs front office!.
They don't play attention to these nonsense talk.
To Pop and RCOnly they make win les for us.
Just thank Tim Duncan,the best PF in BB History.
the biggest reason of the Spurs success in the last decade.
OK, dude. Pop, RC and another guys are idiots.
You 're right in everything always.![]()
No they didn't make a mistake.![]()
Blow job? Scola to Oberto? Scola seems that guy...Oh, sorry, I spelt it wrong. h-a-r-d-blows, hard blows. OK
.
Oberto isn't my favorite Spurs player, but when everyone was down on him, I was willing to give him another chance and he has improved in the playoffs. I hope same of Elson and Bonner. I'm sure, They'll improved in their 2nd year.![]()
Same. I like Fabi.
Me too, guy came on strong last year.
I wish this was a public poll so I could see who voted that it wasnt a mistake
The only bigger mistake would be letting him go for nothing, but it's close since they didn't even manage to trade him out of the state, let alone the conference. I'll wait until they award him his MVP trophy during the WCF next year before I decide.
That's got way more to do with Tim Duncan than the front office of the Spurs. lol Without Tim, they aren't winning anything. You take Manu or Tony off the team and they still have a good chance. In fact, I'd go as far to say that they didn't bring in ENOUGH talent. With the best player in the NBA, they should be bringing in more quality veterans like Finley for the minimum, but they all end up signing with phoenix, dallas or miami. Instead they get Ime freaking Udoka. Who the is that? I mean really... come on. Am I supposed to be thrilled about a d-league signing? Yeah, blah blah blah... they win championships with those guys. Awesome. It isn't because of them. It's Mr. Duncan down low.
How did you feel when we signed Bruce Bowen?Instead they get Ime freaking Udoka. Who the is that? I mean really... come on. Am I supposed to be thrilled about a d-league signing?
I knew somebody would bring up this one-in-a-million type situation. How many other players are like Bowen in the league in terms of development? Probably none. If you're thinking he's the next Bowen, then you've got a rude awakening coming.
Ime Udoka....How many other players are like Bowen in the league in terms of development?
