What does he make in Spain?
2 million buyout helps the spurs
I heard it could be as high as 5 million
What does he make in Spain?
poor
rookies with the new cba can not make what PROVEN NBA PLAYERS MAKE
do not like it DO NOT LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT
also they are saying he is ready to play for the spurs making them look like the bad guys if he does not
I don't know exactly for this year (you don't know contracts in Europe) but i think that he market value is around $4M in europe.
I doubt Scola is making that much money. He's still under that contract he signed when he was 17 or whatever. I'd be shocked if he makes over $2M a year.
Scola doesn't deserve to be the highest paid second round draft pick in the history of the NBA. He shouldn't make the money that a top five pick makes.
Didn't we find out that Sarunas made like $3 million in Israel? That would have to be the ceiling.
Yeah we had this discussion last year. It was concluded that Scola barely makes anything.
Too bad I don't remember the specifics.
I don't speak for this year but for next year.
He is near the end of his 10 years contract.
In a spanish article I've read that he will either leave Tau for the nba or sign an extension with Tau.
If he signs an extension, he will get something like $4m/year.
Vujicic get an offer at €2.5M/year ($3.2M) and you have less taxes in Spain.
Scola has maybe even more value than Scola.
Scola wants to come to the NBA. He knows if he has a couple good seasons, he'll make 10 times as much here. The Spurs would laugh in his face if he tried to use a future Euro contract in negotiations.
True ... as long as that first Scola can rebound.
if spurs lose scola they really did not lose anything
rember he was a late second roudn draft pick
it is not like he has cost the spurs alot
ofcourse with their current needs lettign him sign an extension and not trading his rights woul dbe bad
Didn't Tau already sign or is intending to sign another big man, I believe Pecka, to replace Scola. They have Drobnjak, David and Splitter now. As has been pinted out this is Tau's last year to get any buy out money off Scola's contract.
If the Spurs lose Scola or his rights to a long term Euro contract they lose an asset. No dancing around that regardless of where he was drafted.
I think scola plays in the nba next season
I am not convinced it will be in a spurs jersey though
would not be shocked if he was a bull
I would give up scola for Nocioni
That's why I say a 2 years contract with a player option can be attractive for him. He can get his raise only after 2 years if he is good and he will have 3 guaranteed years if he sucks. Signing a 4 years contract at $3M/year doens't make financial sense for him.
I pointed too that because some people think you can't earn money ouside the nba.
They want to trade/dump Drobnjak.
David is old and Splitter will only stay one more year (last news are he won't stay int the 2006 draft).
Pecker is good but not good enough to start.
If Tau let Scola go, they will sign another bigman like Vujicic.
If we could split the midlevel between Scola and someone like Jumaine Jones, bringing him in could definitely make sense. I thought he was way out of that price range.
Who wouldn't, that would be great.
I would give up scola for Nocioni
Whoever is the SF for the other team would have a fun night.
Once Bowen is off of them, they can enjoy Nocioni.
Garbajosa will sign with Raptors for $12m/3 years.
Scola is a better player and is younger than Garbajosa : our only hope to get him for less money is the fact we have his nba rights.
If T Splitter was projected to be within top ten in some mock draft, why can't SPURS trade Scola for a pick between 4th to 8th? If so, SPURS may be able to get Josh Smith or some good SF for the pick.
Scola is better than Splitter but Splitter is 5 years younger and has more upside. Draft is mainly based on upside.
u just pwned BRUNO SUNDOVScola wants to come to the NBA. He knows if he has a couple good seasons, he'll make 10 times as much here. The Spurs would laugh in his face if he tried to use a future Euro contract in negotiations.
True ... as long as that first Scola can rebound.
You still continue thinking that basket is playing solely in the United States?
Facts:
NBA is better than The Euroleague but Euroleague is better than NCAA
The best players of Europe are better than the Top 6-9 Picks of the Draft, probably better than the 4-5 too and for Example better than Andrew Bogut, #1 of the 2005 Draft
The NBA rookie Scale is 7.5 Millions 3 years for the #5
Oberto signed that 7.5 years 3 millions contract and Scola in Europe was better player than Oberto when Both played in Europe, so it´s imposible to pay less than 7.5 M - 3 Yr contract
The Marker Value in years past of the Best Eurpean Players was 10-12 M - 3 Yrs Contract, Like Nocioni, Jasikevicius and a few Others
Scola and Nocioni in Europe played at the same level and the same team, and Nocioni was the SF and Scola the PF of the TAU
If Nocioni who was SF in Europe is playing as PF in the NBA, Scola can too
He was a 57th Pick Like Manu Ginobili, if we Lost Manu so : The Spurs did not lose anything?if spurs lose scola they really did not lose anything
rember he was a late second roudn draft pick
it is not like he has cost the spurs alot
Give me a Break, Scola is a Great Player in Europe, in The Euroleague, in The World Championship and in the Olympics, and if he is going to play in the NBA too
That's a good point Manu were decided to sacrify some $, bc we was getting more than that money in Europe and he had good chances to have a place in the roster.
I know Scola is good (among the best players) in Europe and a force in ARG's Natl Team; but what could be his role in Spurs; I think he'll have to fight for his minutes.
Finally, $5M in two years sounds great for me ... but not sure that'll be atractive to him.
I want spurs to draft players overseas
they behave and are more fundmentally sound then usa players
most 57 picks are not like manu
scola could be but I doubt he will be an allstar like him DO YOU?
I don't think anyone's saying that the Euroleague isn't any good. But the things that make a player great in the NBA are often different than those in Euroleague.
Some Euroleague stars like Manu excel in the NBA, while others like Jasikevicius or Oberto are minor role players. Even for players that don't end up doing well in the NBA, that doesn't mean they're bad players, it just means that they don't fit well in this style of basketball.
The pick isn't the issue.
If the Spurs spend too much money on Scola and he doesn't help us, that means we wasted money we could have spent on a player that would help win championships.
