Well, he has good post moves and has a sweet 14-foot jumper. Plus, he's an excellent passer. However, he's a horrible free-throw shooter, about at 50%.
Unfortunately, that's not how the amnesty program works. Releasing a player for tax purposes doesn't give a team any additional cap room. It just saves the team from having to pay luxury tax on that salary.

And thats the Kiwi in this photo
Get Oberto this summer.
Have Nazr, Rasho and Scola's rights as tradeable assets for now.
Sign Scola next year if you still have his rights.
So far, so good. Yes, it's a downer that they couldn't get Scola over here this summer, but if they are signing Oberto with the LLE then they will have the full MLE to use opportunistically this summer to bring in a young small forward or retain Glenn Robinson.
Not that bad, Spurs fans. Not that bad.
Picking up Oberto kind of makes up for not having a 2nd rounder this year or trading the Suns' 1st round pick.
Man, some people sure have some misconceptions in this thread.
1. The Spurs aren't bringing Oberto over to be a deep bench/inactive player for that money and that contract. You're looking at your new backup center.
2. Related to 1, one of either Nazr or Rasho is on the block. If things look good to extend Nazr this summer, say goodbye to Rasho. On the other side, if Nazr and his agent are asking for too much, good bye Nazr.
3.All Ramadan means is he can't eat/drink during daylight hours. Before daylight and after dark he can eat/drink whatever he wants.but in Ramadan Nazr will have to avoid training during the day??
4. The whole "waive Rasho to free up salary thing." First, he's a tradeable commodity that the Spurs wouldn't even think about trading. Second, the Spurs don't even have this option because they are not in the luxury tax range.
Only teams looking at a luxury tax hit can waive a player, and his salary is still on the books. It doesn't change their salary cap outlook at all.
5. Here's hoping that NBA GMs are overvalueing Scola as much as some on this site. Spurs will get a good deal if so.
I'll be surprised if Scola ever plays a minute for the Spurs. I think this Oberto signing means that the Spurs are shopping the rights to Scola along with one of either Rasho or Nazr for a quality SF.
He is a Shaq-Rasho FT Shooter, that´s why POP bring him
Not good FT Shooters accepted
Man how smart are the Spurs, signing almost 3/5's for the gold medal Argentina Team from the olympics, brilliance, pure brilliance. P.S. Rasho still needs to be traded
could a player you release be resigned?
if we waive tim duncan he gets him monmey, luxry tax won't be a prob at all, and we can resign him for more maybe 1 extra year, and he will get a pay raise since he will be making Old slary+ what we resigned him at
anyone know if you can resign the players you waived?
No.anyone know if you can resign the players you waived?
That's what I was trying to say. Yes the Spurs will have to pay the rest of his contract, but no luxury tax. All I want is for Rasho to be moved. He is so soft it isn't even funny. The guy did a few good things this season no doubt. However, at 7ft you have to do more. Not just Rasho, but a lot of other 7fters. Its a darn shame that a guy with that size plays soft. The Spurs won't say it, but I will. Rasho is WEAK. The Spurs need to get a tough and rugid center. Its crazy that Rasho is getting paid like nobody's business and can't average double digit in rebounds. Ginobilli goes to boards with more guts than Rasho does. That isn't right! OK. I just had to get that off my chest.
I would still like to see how Scola would do in the NBA. So many players get so much hype and then completely bust. Scola just turned 25, so I think one more year playing and developing with Tau isn't such a bad thing.
The Spurs could get back a near all-star if they package Nazr and Scola together. Would you do it?
like who? All-stars are not all created equally.
Depends... who are we talking about?
Perhaps. The position they would have to target would be the 3.
Does Boston need a center? Hmmm...
the cancer that is Paul Pierce can stay put.
Ok, you talked me into it.
Man Nazr, Duncan, Parker, Manu, and Bowen are going to be unstoppable, then you got Barry, Oberto, Horry(possibly SAR), Beno, and Brown coming off the bench which is a completly other team that would probably be starting on other teams, i cant even imagine what would happen when scola comes in and starts next to TD. Dynasty .......to be continued....
You're just hinting at that so that the "Future Spur: Paul Pierce" thread you created like five years ago would come true and you could claim clairvoyant powers.
Pierce is one of my top 5 favorite non-Spurs.
I'm not sure if I started a thread like that. Let me check my posting records.
I'll be a while.
Stephen Jackson!!
Okay, just kidding.
IF the Spurs somehow landed SAR, Nazr is gone.
tony parker + rahso + scola + S&T devin for nash
I would to that in a heart beat
other players
wade
Iverson
lebron
sean elliot
kobe brany(move him to 3)
KG
oh yeah nazr for ron artest too
You were called "Spurs Fan" back in those days.
P.S. If you make it Nazr + Scola + Brent Barry for Pierce, the salaries work.
I don't know whether Pierce is the best fit in the world for the Spurs, but that trade would be fun simply to watch the reaction of shock, horror, and dread around the basketball world. It would be like when Moses went to Philly.
