Who gives a about Scola.
I swear to god, the people here saying its a mistake not signing him are such tools.
Furry Spurry = Shaggy
wayyyy too similar to not be.
Unless we sign no one else to our team in the following two months, you're wrong on #1.
On #2, what does it really matter? Obviously not enough to convince him to leave.

I am sorry you are starting to get you to obsessed with me. Do yourself a favor and read my previous post and that should explain to you why I said what I said kinda like what you did a year ago with that not posting for a whole year thing (not throwing an insult at you but making a point on how overreacting is human nature in being a fan and can bring out the worst in us being fans) I do have faith in the front office and I am with this team win or lose. Believe it or not I can bring other things than my overreacting ing to this board. I like this board and I will bring in my 2 cents on various disscussions (excluding negative repe ive front office talk) as the year goes on.
For next year. The FO is probably giving up on FA signings for '06-'07 and hoping we do okay.
In the meantime, they are preparing for an '07-'08 splash where the draft is better and Scola will be able to come over (not that the Spurs will sign him but attempt to move up in the '07 draft.
Odd little blurb from Miami today:
San Antonio is believed to be offering a two-year deal worth between $3 million to $5 million for the free agent center to join the 2005 NBA champions.
http://www.local10.com/news/9492755/detail.html
Oh no. I thought the Spurs would be offering more. Like $8-10M over two-years. Are they crazy to think that they can steal Zo for $3M?
Perhaps I let up on the front office too soon.
Old news, right Chump? Thought Mourning already said No.
The news is that the Spurs only offered $3-5M. Way to really make a push.
I never heard any numbers. According to the article Miami is only offerring the vet minimum. I've never known Zo to turn down a paycheck.
Gotcha. New news.
Shoulda thrown the MLE at him. Why not? He can get it done.
Let's see. Miami is offering 2-year, $2.5M. Spurs try to steal him with 2-year, $3M.
Zo would have been a pretty good two year plugin, especially if the Spurs think Mahinmi or Javtokas will be good enough to take over by then.
I think this is even weaker than when the Spurs "went after" Przybilla with a four-year deal when the rest of the NBA was offering five.
The Heat has already agreed to pay Mourning the veteran's minimum of $1.1 million next season.
Mourning joined the Heat after three seasons with Charlotte in 1995. He left for the New Jersey Nets prior to the 2003-04 season before being dealt to Toronto in December 2004. After being cut by the Raptors in February 2005, he returned to the Heat that March.
So is the former Georgetown standout really considering leaving for another team?
"I really haven't thought about it too much in detail," Mourning told Local 10's Todd Tongen at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. "…To tell you the truth, it's only fitting that I retire in a Heat jersey, but I really haven't made that decision yet whether or not I will come back." same article chump posted
And that's the total for 2 years!! Isn't a vet min contract for a guy like Zo pay over $1M/season?
Hate to be right on this one, but does that really look like a real effort to sign the guy? Where are all those people claiming the Spurs were ready to spend some of that money?
Yep, looks like you were right. I had hope but the Spurs are going to be damn cheap this summer.
There's still hope.I'm usually wrong about things. Never get in line behind me anywhere.
We'll know soon. Last summer everything dragged on because of the Allan Houston Rule. This summer, things will be wrapping up in a week or two.
Forthcoming Official Salary Cap news should open up things like Vicks VapoRub.
Hopefully the Spurs don't eat the Rasho and Nazr savings like Vicks Vapor Rub.
A Vicks Vapor Rub reference? Sweet. Now I have to give my obligatory remark about my mom would make us swallow it.
The semi-unspoken question here is, which should the Spurs try to maximize: the talent level for the team this year, their position to ac ulate talent for the 2008 and 2009 seasons, or somewhere in the middle?
I guess I could have said...open things up like Atomic Balm inside a jock strap. That ought to bring back memories to anyone who ever spent any time in a locker room.
From the Miami Herald
Several NBA teams have made overtures to the 36-year-old, according to several reports. That includes a dogged pursuit by San Antonio, which made multiple offers, Mourning said. The Spurs need a replacement for backup center Nazr Mohammed, who reached a five-year agreement with the Detroit Pistons. "I'm not going to have somebody force me into making a decision when I'm not ready," Mourning said. "They wanted an answer doon, and I'm not in the position to do that.
What Mourning said is legit but I'll be damned if even his quotes don't piss me off. Why even bother mentioning that?
I'm just still pissed over all of his flexing and warrior bull and they way he teabagged the Nets and Raptors. It people are paying you millions of dollars, you play. If you don't want to play, you don't get paid.
The multiple offers part is interesting. I wonder how high they went.
If that's true, then the question with Mourning wasn't money -- if I read the reports correctly, the Spurs reportedly offered him more than the Heat have -- but application of a sense of urgency. With limited resources available to make deals, would it have been better for the Spurs to leave an offer lingering to Mourning, facing the possibility that he might ultimately decide to stay in Miami anyway and leaving the Spurs with even fewer options, or to pull back when Zo wasn't willing to make a decision quickly and pursue what is still available?
Spurs are starting to appear desparate. Mourning just won a le and in all likelihood will resign with his team. They are doing their due diligence by making an offer and he would be an upgrade to what we've had so far. But I don't think they should stoop to "begging" this guy to come here. They obviously underestimate his allegiance to the Miami area and coach Riley.
it also said they tried several offers
