Can someone give me a non-babelfish translation?
I think it says that the Spurs told Scola that they are not signing him and that they will trade his rights because they have enough forwards. Correct?
Yes, and it also says that he won't accept TAU's extension so he will be a free agent in 2008.
Sources from Vitoria assured that San Antonio told the power forward he isn't in their plans for 06/07. They're covered with Duncan, Oberto, Bonner and Horry. They're looking to trade his rights. Scola wouldn't accept TAU's extension offer either, being a free agent in 2008
Thanks.
I guess this just confirms what has been reported lately here.
So now it's just a question of how much Scola's rights are worth.
It does say that he's willing to negotiate his rights
I was hoping we would sign him for the 06/07 season
What a pitty.
What if we don't trade his rights and we just sign him next year and dump bonner?
It could happen. But it just doesn't seem the Spurs want him that badly.
His buyout is around 4M ($ or € ?) acoording to a spanish newspaper.

I hope that we will get a quality big this summer : Horry/Bonner/Oberto/javtokas is a weak suporting cast for Duncan.
I agree. They need a starting quality bigman. Maybe that will come via trade (or sign-and-trade) because I'm not sure who they can get with the MLE.

Another article about Scola, if I have well understand there are no real news in this article concerning Scola.
Thanks. I think someone translated that yesterday in another thread.
Agree and if it's true that Javtokas will get a 2 years contract with an option on the third year, we won't have the full MLE.
Yea I know. What are your ideas of who we should get? Because I'll name somebody but then people tell me about the CBA or the team needs and all this crap I've never heard of.
Most rumors have Javtokas getting the LLE leaving the MLE intact.
I've posted some names in another thread :

The only play the Spurs have is to trade his rights in hopes of moving higher in the draft, which I doubt they will even bother to do. After that, a package deal sending someone else with Scola to another team for a so-called long 3 with starting potential.
Where have you read/heard this rumors ?
I've only read people on this board wishing that he will only get the LLE.
Javtokas' european agent has said that he will sign a 2 years contract with an option for the third and you can't get that type of contract with the LLE : you can only get 1 or 2 years contrat with the LLE (option years included).
Murph, Shareef, and Gooden
I think, at this point, it's not impossible we sign Nazr...
Last year, for a lot of reasons (last but not least, the fact he was gonna be a free agent this year), he had a bad year.
Next year, at a good price, he could be a real steal...
The only other team I see that could take him is Chicago (but, in my opinion, they're gonna do their best to take both KG and Big Ben..and they have the means - choices, players and salary cap room - to afford both).
I think the Spurs will offer Nazr a cheap contract and if he takes it, then that's fine. I don't think they are going offer him more than what they offered him last summer though.
You are probably right. If Spurs used part of the MLE for Javtokas that will restrict them from getting the better FAs.
As much as they wanted to dump Rasho I have to believe, with the Nazr situation, if they don't have some big replacement lined up already the Spurs are really playing with fire. The brain trust will be becoming the brain bust.
Nothing about Scola that we didn't suspect, but it's interesting to see a confirmation.
Don't forget that we have trade assets -- we can work a sign and trade with Nazr, we have an expiring contract with Williams, Barry and Scola's rights are decent trade bait at this point, Oberto and Beno are workable filler, and we can always ship out picks if we need to.You are probably right. If Spurs used part of the MLE for Javtokas that will restrict them from getting the better FAs.

None of that is going to land us KG or anything, but we can likely get a key guy or two via trade, and probably move some salaries at the same time.
The Spurs have chosen Javtokas over Scola. We will see if that was the correct call, like Ginobili over Giricek, or not.
Wouldn't Scola have been a projected Top 5 pick in this year's draft... couldn't we have someone else (in the top 10 of course) draft our 'big-3' for us in exchange for Scola's rights???
