You can't figure me out, just like Texas can't figure out OU. Now stay on subject, if you can handle that.
Scola would have had no problem paying off his buyout with the contract Oberto got.

True ... if the buyout is $3.2M and not $14.5M.Scola would have had no problem paying off his buyout with the contract Oberto got.
Manu is a whole different kind of person than 99% of the human race. He would have take 2 bucks to come over here to prove he is the best player on the planet.
Obviously someone did have a problem. Somebody was draggin ass and the 2005 NBA Champion Spurs moved the on like a steam roller.
Its about time.
Scola needs to take the minimum 2 year deal with a team option and then prove himself against NBA talent in a 110 game season.
We'll see.
Are you alive?
Johnny Ludden - who gets his info directly from the Spurs.what's the source that it was 14.5mil?
The CIA.
Looks like the Spurs had DA's true value pretty well pegged, maybe even would have overpayed at what they were offering.
Please, please somebody abuse me the way Malik got abused by the Spurs. Guy got his contrract and all of a sudden decided he was Charles Barkley.
That said 99% of us would be PO'd if we were Scola. But that's the way the game's played. Best the Spurs could do for him is try to get fair trade value for his rights if anyone were willing to give up a trade or pick the Spurs thought reasonable.
So the Spurs were wrong about the buyout? Imagine that!
The reason that I don't think the Spurs/Ludden are lying about the $14.5M buyout is because that buyout would make his rights very difficult to trade. So if they are trying (or going to try) to trade his rights, why would would they spread the misinformation of that jacked price? So there has to be some truth to it.
The Spurs made Malik into a malcontent for no other reason than they wanted his contract gone.
He got his market value back in 2002. Would any of you have been happy if he ended up with the Lakers the year after they bounced the Spurs from the postseason for the 2nd time?
no.
Were you happy when Malik played a significant part in the Spurs winning two championships?
yes.
Enough already.
The reporter that knows him said he will want to be traded. I think that reporter is right, based on the comments he made the night he got drafted.
Probably the buyout was at $14.5 mil initially back in 1997 or whenever. So there was a grain of truth surrounded by a bodyguard of lies.
That leads me to believe that the Spurs want to bring him over eventually. But the time for Oberto was now. They can simply wait on Scola.
The Spurs never portrayed Malik as a malcontent....
Bottomline is Oberto > Scola. I've always thought that. Spurs got the better player for the money that they would have given Scola.
Notice how the Spurs sign Oberto for three seasons and at the same time say that Scola's contract is for three more years. To me, it looks like they will go with Oberto for now while they try to trade Scola. If they don't find a team out there dying for him, they'll just wait out the three years and bring in a 28 year old player with a chip on his shoulder.
By that time, the landscape for the Spurs will be different and make more sense to bring in Scola.
1. Horry will be retired.
2. Rasho will be traded.
3. Duncan will be even more of a center.
By that time, Scola will be one of the best European players ever. The Spurs can bring him in and give him a huge role.
It works out for everyone involved, in theory.
Yeah, right.
And this if ing stupid...
It's right there with thinking Devin was going to get a 15 million dollar contract and wanting Jason Kidd at the max instead of Manu and Parker...
The next time you think you know something remember those two things.
Sounds about right. They didn't have Oberto's rights plus he's older. So get him in here and get the benefit of establishing tenure (for Bird Rights) now with him and you can afford to wait on the other guy who's only 25.
That seems to have been the decision.
Theory can be one mean .It works out for everyone involved, in theory.
How is it wrong, whottt? You can't seem to figure out how the Spurs operate and you sprout wood about Shane Heal and the almighty Coyote.
... and now Isiah is trying to unload Malik. Good luck.
SCOFFED!!!!!
Hindsight my friend..Hindsight.
All i know is if we have 3 argentineans in the city, I am ing moving to Maine.
