as far as your enumerated points, 1 is entirely opinion, 2 is exactly what my original point consisted of (that scola is a good backup pf for 3mill, not a mvp candidate and not on manu's level, though a better rebounder and scorer than you predicted), and 3 is speculation.
as for your closing statement, my position has always been that given the assets the spurs have and their position in the draft, scola was good enough of a gamble to just trade away for a 2nd round pick- how many times do you expect to draft an experienced professional player with a 2nd round pick?
anyhow now i'm pissed you are lumping me into the group that dramatized the trade and glorified scola. i never did either. i've always said the spurs made the trade looking at the future and it is premature to judge it from our end, and that scola is nothing more than a roleplayer- with two +/- factors being that here he'd have manu and oberto to guide him, but that pop and our aspirations would complicate his transition relative to houston.
with that said i think you've made as much of a big deal of all this as any scola homer has, which prompted me to address you, but now i will return to not commenting on the subject at all as it matters little to me- the only things i want as far as basketball is concerned is a spurs repeat and an argentina repeat in beijing.
