You can guess whatever you want. Doesn't make it actually true. I never saw an actual number that summer. I could have missed it, but I would think someone would have been repeating it in every Scola thread.
Good job reading up on it though. Turns out you were actually ignorant about the negotiations.
As I said, I'm not surprised.
LOL. Who freakin' cares that I needed to look up a fact or two, I am pretty much right on the money aren't I?
Why do you think Scola deliberately kept the buyout amount a secret? He obviously didn't want to embarass the spurs organization (and himself too) with how indifferent and ty (throw in cheap too) they handled his situation with Tau.
Thanks for admitting you were ignorant. You are making things up to suit your agenda.
Another thing you made up to suit your agenda.Why do you think Scola deliberately kept the buyout amount a secret? He obviously didn't want to embarass the spurs organization (and himself too) with how indifferent and ty (throw in cheaply too) they handled his situation with Tau.
My contention here was that you didn't know what you were talking about and were making things up. I am pretty much right on the money, aren't I?
It's called 'intuition', son.
And I see your rolling out your latest strawman argument as a last ditch effort to smear me. Tells me my work here is finished. Good day.
It's called making stuff up, son.
I started out what a poster knew that the rest of us didn't know. He came out with a baseless answer that you celebrated, thinking you had some kind of vicarious victory. I then asked you what was the factual basis of that theory. Turns out you were completely ignorant of the negotiations between Baskonia and the Spurs and had to scramble to find an unsourced Wikipedia article in an attempt to retroactively prove something someone else made up.And I see your rolling out your latest strawman argument as a last ditch effort to smear me. Tells me my work here is finished. Good day.
You failed, so you just started making up more and more stuff to convince yourself you were right. And you topped it off by showing more ignorance regarding the definition of straw man.
Now, of course, declaring victory and running away is all that's left for you to do.
Better luck next time.
Yup, we're all just supposed to believe that Tau just magically lowered their buyout demands the exact day Scola's rights were traded to the rockets and they just miraculously made a deal with his camp less than 24 hours later. Poor Pop/F.O. just tried so hard too.
I don't have access to evidence as it would be needed to prove something in a court, but with what has been posted it's safe to assume the Spurs were uninterested in Scola.
Since we are posting a forum and not exchanging court do ents, it's unreasonable to act so picky. You neither posted any kind of evidence to support an opposite scenario.
====
Changing the subject, at the time, I thought his camp wanted way too much money or Saski Baskonia didn't want to lower the buyout, and that's why the negotiations never prospered year after year.
It was total surprise to know he signed a $2.9M per year based contract for the Rockets. The Spurs signed 4 bigs for similar money (Bonner, Elson and Butler, Oberto). The Butler move was ridiculous in particular, he never did anything to be worth a $7.1M / 3 years contract. Scola was at least MVP of the ACB league twice, by the example of Nocioni and others that means something.
That being said, I think that Scola would have been a role player for the Spurs mostly from the bench. But still he would have been a quality addition that would improve the roster. He could always step up when there were injuries and when the Spurs had problems scoring. Defense can be taught, after all.
Close this thread please.
LMAO @ Chump holy .
This is just a whole new level of baggery. No sense in arguing with a judge.
Why would you assume it would happen in one day? We're talking about a full year later.Yup, we're all just supposed to believe that Tau just magically lowered their buyout demands the exact day Scola's rights were traded to the rockets and they just miraculously made a deal with his camp less than 24 hours later. Poor Pop/F.O. just tried so hard too.
You have serious timeline problems. That's not a surprise given your admitted ignorance on this issue.
And you lied about being done.
Exactly.
Thanks for admitting it.
That's all I was asking.
Dude, Scola has the opposite of a cul-de-sac.
Scola Approves
Your words.
I'm just hoping he can keep this pace up. From what I saw last year when Landry got traded out and Scola's minutes increased, I think he should be able to be a 20-10 player.

l like this thread just as l like Luis Scola,he is going to be an all star this season.
i like scola and im happy for him what the is the big deal???? if you guys are still craping your pants over this i can only imagine how the past haunts your real life!!
Your ignorance.
Your lying.
I lied about nothing. I never made claims I couldn't back up.
You are the one who acted like you knew something you didn't.
I called you and your fanboy out on it.
You admitted you made it up.
Now you both are whining about it.
Personally, I think it wasn't ok to imply you are some kind of , however you are the one whining. Big time.
You claim that I couldn't back up what I wrote. Which is untrue.
You took a phrase out of the whole sentence to make the interpretation that totally contradicts my idea. It's untrue I admitted what you claim.
===
Scola would have helped more than most of the bigs the Spurs signed for part of the MLE. In particular, Butler apportion was almost nothing. But I don't think he would have such big role with the Spurs as he has with the Rockets.
It is completely true. Look at what you claimed, then look at your failure to back it up with any actual facts.
Your idea is something you made up. You admitted you made it up and couldn't back it up with any facts. That's all. Your conjecture is fine and could indeed be right, but you admitted it is conjecture so don't pretend it is what actually happened.You took a phrase out of the whole sentence to make the interpretation that totally contradicts my idea. It's untrue I admitted what you claim.
That has nothing to do with your claim.Scola would have helped more than most of the bigs the Spurs signed for part of the MLE. In particular, Butler apportion was almost nothing. But I don't think he would have such big role with the Spurs as he has with the Rockets.
Try to understand your own argument first. Then get back to me.
Thanks in advance.

Have any of you actually looked at a game-log for Luis Scola this season?
It brings me to the verge of vomitting my dinner. He's on a whole nother level. He's Up Above It.
Basically it would be like Blair out there but 1000x better.
