I think he would have added 1 or 2 more championships.
????????????
who ?
It's 2014, the Spurs just won their 5th championship, and we're still getting Scola threads. SMH
How many more les would the Blazers have if they drafted Jordan?
We'd have more with this guy.
Aren't you glad that the Spurs stayed together. We can be your 2003-07 Spurs to your Suns. That way after we win a couple of trophies you can finally win in the second round of 2018 and act like its the championship before being trounced by a real contender.
Oh and
Do you know where you were?
How many les if you drafted Durant?
Or Jordan
Scola Thread
Maybe 1 more le and thats it, from 2008 to 2011 we had some bad injuries and Scola wont make that much difference by himself with the scrubs we had at that time.
When they had a chance? 2008 playing Oberto minutes.
Lol, beat me to it.
Maybe. Same argument with Batum.
What about Durant and Jordan
My money is on a solid maybe so. I never understood how that situation got botched.
Yeah, Scola Thread!
Oberto....
One of the worst big man defenders in the league even in his prime. I'll say no.
It's a legitimate hypothetical, in my opinion.
Spurs drafted Scola in 2002 with high-hopes of bringing him in. His stretch-four style would've complimented prime Duncan's dominance down low perfectly. This is one instance, though, where letting him develop overseas backfired as he tied himself to a huge contract. Spurs tried hard to negotiate him out of his contract with Baskonia but they wanted $3M and the Spurs could only match $500K, leaving Scola on the hook for the remainder.
Instead, the Spurs signed Oberto and traded the rights to Scola for a bag of stale Doritos in order to dump the burden that was Jackie Butler. Somehow, Houston was able to resolve Scola's contract situation in like a week after the Spurs had spent years battling in (Morey opening his checkbook?) and he spent many productive years there torching the Spurs at every opportunity. Scola really should have been a Spur, but it was one of the FO's rare whiffs.
That being said, I think Scola could have put the Spurs over the hump in '04 and '06, particularly the latter's playoff series against the Mavericks. He was a pretty consistent threat up until 2010, and certainly would have been better than the stable of centers we ran through during that period (Nesterovic, Mohammad, Elson, Massenburg, Dice, Bonner, Mahinmi). Then again, if the Spurs pick up Scola prior to 2005, then Robert Horry never comes to town, either.
All things being said, I'd say if the Spurs were able to get Scola when they drafted him, they would have one more le and wouldn't have gone through the Dim Ages of The Centerpiece and HWSNBN.
Would the blazers if they didn't draft Bowie or Oden
Scola never won a le himself and never was an all star caliber player. So doubt it.
Ha, not if they kept Manu.
If Scola would have joined the Spurs it would have been summer 2005... maybe we win in '06... maybe we lose in '07. We wouldn't have drafted Splitter and we wouldn't have brought over Oberto.
Thinking Luis Scola was going to be the difference between a championship and what the 2008-11 Spurs actually accomplished. Those teams weren't winning a le with or without him.
How many more les would the Blazers have if they drafted Jordan and Durant?
