    Waly, in this summer, the Spurs didn't have a lot of money available to play with. I'm sure that they would have wanted Scola here at the right price to see what he could do. But they couldn't give him a contract for something like 3 years/$15M. If Scola's buyout can really be negotiated down to $2-3M as reported, then he could take a 3year/$9M contract and be with the Spurs. But it didn't get done.

    Is this a fact or your guess? could you provide a link?
    Did you read the article?

    Have you asked to be traded?

    Yes.
    I keep reading this "second coming" stuff? what does it mean? second coming of what? I don't remember anyone saying Scola was second coming of anybody
    It's biblical.

    Basically, a lot of people have been extremely high on Scola. Some have even compared him to players like David Robinson and Moses Malone.

    Personally, I think that Scola will be good. I could even see him being a 14 point, 8 rebound guy in the league. The problem I see with him is his style of play doesn't really work on the Spurs.

    The last undersized power forward who played on this team was shipped off as soon as a deal could be found. And that player had two championship rings and was statistically one of the better backup bigs in the NBA ... and perhaps the best in team history.

    Ok, saw that but he "asked" to be traded no "demanded".

    Come on, some ppl here say the dumbest things. We shouldn't quote these dumbasses, but try to forget their posts.

    One thing is true, when Nazr or Rasho get a Offensive Rebound, its a Offensive Rebound, when TD get one, is a OR and 2 points, Oberto or Scola are players like TD, not like Rasho or Nazr

    1) Scola has always had a tendancy to whine. He whined when he got drafted in the second round. He whined that RC told him to rebound and defend more. Now the Spurs don't bring him over and he's demanding a trade.
    this is not demanding. he basically said trade me, good for him. I know everyone who doesn't say... 'I want to be the water boy on the spurs rather than play on another team' is a complete dip

    how is he going to react to Pop on his azz?
    Scola has handled one of the biggest ball buster coaches in Europe there is no way Pop is so tough he won't be able to handle it. (FYI: Oberto quit the team because he couldn't handle this coach)

    Did Manu start whining about not getting offered enough and demand trade?1) Scola has always had a tendancy to whine. He whined when he got drafted in the second round. He whined that RC told him to rebound and defend more. Now the Spurs don't bring him over and he's demanding a trade.
    so everyone has to live up to the standards that Manu set? fvck that. Manu is a very special player and we are lucky to have him, to hold every choice to what manu did is crap (was his buyout this ornerous?)

    3) The Spurs got their man. They offered more money to Oberto. They rushed on Scola to make sure they didn't lose Oberto. Oberto was no doubt their target and rightly so ... as anyone who has seen them play a lot will tell you.
    No one knows that but the spurs. The fact that the situations were totally different, (ie Scola wasn't a lock, there was a possiblity that Tau would refuse.) Spurs had to move, they went the safe option because we just won the championship and have right at 3 allstars... this wasn't a statement it was a no brainer.


    We'll just have to see how Scola turns out. you don't know how he'll be, spurs don't, he doesn't... Let's see if his game translates.

    Ok Timvp, but why a player need to prove himself in the NBA first to take his millions?
    That's just how it works. It's probably not fair, but players have to show something in the NBA to get paid. The money Scola wanted (it seems) was more money than the number one overall pick in the NBA draft. Is Scola better than Bogut?

    For all of you... Scola never whined about RC concerns about Rebounds and Defense...
    that was written in OLE but Scola never said nothing or whine about it... try to post a link related to that whine or stop saying that.

    It is not a news, but In the same situation, Chapu Nocioni last year accepted a contract, invested his savings in his buyout, asked for a consideration from TAU and TAU only accepted to receive the buyout in 3 years (not sure about that) and TAU kept Nocioni's FIBA rights, so if he ever played outside USA he'll have to play for TAU.

    Los Spurs hicieron cuentas tras la renovación de Horry (costó más dinero del esperado) y enviaron una oferta un poco menor a 7.000.000 de dólares por tres años. Para Luis y su gente no resultaba del todo convincente, ya que de ese dinero debían deducir el pago de la cláusula (unos 3.200.000) y los impuestos (cercanos al 40%).
    The Spurs make numbers after Horry´s renegotiation and send an offer under 7 millions for 3 years. For Luis and his agent it wasn´t convincent?, because with that money they must pay the buyout agreement (3.2 millions) and taxes 40% (1.28 million)


    I don´t know if i'm right with the translation...

    because at one time the rookies were getting more money then the proven nba stars
    so the old cba got created to take care of that
    and most people in todays world has to prove what they can do for their new boss before getting paid big bucks then they get raises

    3.2 + 1.28 = 4.38 millions

    7 - 4.38=2.62 millions

    0.87 millions per year...

    In the same situation I wouldl stay in TAU or ask for a trade

    Really?

    Getting nearly 900K a year for a chance to live your dream?

    (Side note: In reality, the buyout hasn't been determined to be $3.2M. That's just what they are hoping it will be.)

    Good enough, so your point is 3.4 + 1.48 = 4.88 of 7 M$ won't go to Scola's pocket.

    If this is your point; Manu accepted to receive less money in order to have a chance to be an NBA.

    The Bogut's contract is the Players Choice and the NBA rules
    But Scola isn´t a rookie, he have a Gold Medal, a 2nd place in the WC
    Bogut can be the best player in USA outside the NBA, but Scola is one or the Best player in Europe, right now

    And if you make a game between the Draft and the FIBA players, the Fiba´s always beat the Rookies

    And Darko Milicic have the Money that Bogut have, and he is in the Brown´s doghouse

    And Today Scola is so better than Bogut, in the Olympics he played better than TD too

    so if bogut had a gold medal he deserves more?
    what about if he had a ncaa le ring?


    scola is a rookie in the NBA

    this is bullshyt. Duncan played like 7 minutes in the entire olympics because no one wanted USA to win (worst reffing this side of game 6 SAC/LA)

    So Scola wants to get paid, just like 92% of other americans (myself included).
