Scola to be Amenstied (OFFICIAL)

[024]

As GM, you suck

i guess we'll never know. another team is bound to bid for scola and the spurs will have to look somewhere else.

[4down]

Do you think Dallas might skip over both & chase Darko? They need a Center more than a offensive PF. Plus they still have Wright at backup PF who had a surprising season.

Might be wrong, but isn't Dallas brigning Kaman in? Not sure if he actually fits the need you;re referring to, as I don;t knowwho else is in their stable of bigs.

Kaman is only on a 1 year Rental & the only other decent Center on the market is they guy they just let go who was Haywood, but i just saw that Darko still has multiple years left on his contract so now i doubt they want to pick him up.

As GM, you suck

As a GM, he sucks because he prioritizes defense over offense. The Spurs offense last year was second to none in almost every offensive statistical category imaginable and you think by adding more offense, the team will improve? If that's the case, as a fan you're ignorant.

I wouldn't mind taking Scola on a Vet min for the year, but knowing RC's tendencies, he's lible to blow all his cap space next year on Scola's new contract instead of going after available free agents that can improve the team long term (ie. Josh Smith)

The most unlikely part about this post is Neal in the first unit. Barring injury.

denmon also could have a chance to make the team...

[CGD]

So if Im understanding the time right, there isn't overlapping times when bids could be made for Brand or Scola. Deadline for Brand is today at 5pm EST, while that is the same time the clock starts for Scola, right?

[ElNono]

Today at 4 PM, the winning bid for Elton Brand will be announced. Spurs fans need to hope the Mavs win that bid because if they don't, they'll surely put in a bid for Scola.

I still think there will be another team willing to pay Scola three years, $10M ... but the most likely team to do it is a Brand-less (generic?) Mavs.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

The Dallas Mavericks have successfully claimed Elton Brand off amnesty waivers, a league source tells Y! Sports.

[slick'81]

now who gets scola?!?

[ElNono]

Now we wait until Sunday...

[temujin]

Anytime you have the chance to get a champion on a mission, just do it!

[slick'81]

Now we wait until Sunday...

now it gets interesting

[CGD]

now who gets scola?!?

I think the better question right now is: who is left with sizable cap space?

[ploto]

Depends how much Dallas bid to get Brand.

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

There are rumors that the Cavs are looking to claim Scola, but its just a rumor.

[DJ Mbenga]

now who gets scola?!?

bobcats sleepers saying it now

[cd98]

Anyone know who the other teams are that could bid for Scola?

[ploto]

Brand only cost Dallas $2 million. They still have room for Scola if they will take on 3 years.
