I just got word from a guy in the Rockets org that the reports about Butler being included in the deal are incorrect. The actual deal involves Scola and VSpan.
I guess if Spanoulis would agree to play in Spain, the Spurs could at least release Spanoulis to Tau as barter...a negotiating chip to set Splitter free a year early.
Interesting notion......

Ha Ha, SPLASH.
Time will tell, this will be interesting in the upcoming years
That wouldn't work. The Rockets would have to take back salary.
Let this be the final nail in the coffin for all the Ludden doubters.
When something comes from Ludden, IT'S COMING FROM THE SPURS.
Ludden will never go off reservation, EVER.
He doesn't want end up behind O'Keefe in line at the soup kitchen, so he knows that he has to write what they want.
Now you may say, 'It's stupid to announce that you're looking to move a guy, it ruins his value!'
Well, as Forrest Gump would say . . .
They couldnt do it that easily, who would take just Beno for nothing. You would want 3 or 4 unconditional first rounders to live with Beno taking up one of ur roster spots.
I need to be saved.
More like Tpark or coachmac87.
um, no, we are the NBA champions because we had the good fortune of winning the NBA draft lottery in 97, despite already having a pretty good team.
plenty of bad moves have been made by our FO and this is one of them
Yeah, it doesn't make sense. I'm talking to him on another board and he's texting back and forth with a guy in the Rockets FO who's working on the deal.
Sweet.
Can't wait for the "they've won four rings, they know what they're doing" posts.
That sound you hear . . . is Kevin Pritchard and Sam Presti laughing their asses off.
Butler and V-Span's contract work perfectly in a trade. Has to be this trade that is being reported.
Seriously, dont do this to me
The day after Presti gets a $10M trade exception for Rashard Lewis and Pritchard gets James Jones and Rudy Fernandez for nothing, Buford gets destroyed.
I'm just telling you what I'm hearing, bro. I know this guy personally. He's legit.
No doubt.
How'd the Spurs keep up with him when all of the great ideas in Spurs' personnel history came from someone else?
Does RC toss Holt's salad? WTF?
I was thinking that too.When Mahinmi turns out better than Butler + Scola combined, then y'all will be singing a different tune.
I personally think Butler is basically a stiff, he looks so mechanical in his movement on the court, plus his "D" is atrocious.
Scola could be good but you really don't know that for sure, plus you don't even know if he will be in the NBA any time soon either dur to that nice sized buyout.
I have not seen Mahinmi play at all so I can't evaluate his play.
This could possibly be a trade opposite of what the majority of the people here think it is. I am going to reserve judgment.
Maybe they are making room to bring back Nazr?
But . . . But . . . they drafted Tony Parker at the end of the first round 6 years ago!
Rationalizing this, Spurs-style, they wanted to keep the team together and Butler needed more minutes elsewhere.
Wow Orlando hosed that one probably worse than RC did with this
The day after Presti gets a $10M trade exception for Rashard Lewis and Pritchard gets James Jones and Rudy Fernandez for nothing, Buford gets destroyed.
What the ! Sorry, but I'm speechless....Unbelievable
haha
It doesn't matter if Butler and Scola don't happen to pan out.
The fact is, at this point in time, their worth in trade is much, much more than what the Spurs are getting, which is in essence nothing. Big Fat Zero. The Spurs at the absolute minimum should have gotten a first round pick out of it.
