That's good to see. I was beginning to think that we had drafted a Euro Mo Taylor.
Just FYI ...
2.7 of those are offensive.
Heres a another good prospect.

If we could sign Scola next season, this team's gonna get scary...
I like kirk. hes got a good 3 point shot.being from nz i suppose i would say that though
Is that unusual? I thought everyone in NZ had a good 3pt shot.
Seriously, I like Kirk, he always gave us trouble. He should get a job as 2nd or 3rd pg somewhere in the league.
I hate Kirk Penney. But for a reason not related to basketball.
Scola is a beast, i really hope he signes with San Antonio, that'd be sweet.
Are the spurs going to be able to use the mid level money on him next year?
Heal > Penney.
Go Oz.
Penney played for Wisconsin and is tough as nails, was main reason they got to final 4 few years back = don't underestimate him.
Scola, the Lithuanian comebacker, and Penney brought into camp would make it a dogfight to make squad.
How long is Horry locked up for?, hopefully, Scola or the Leutivanian, next year instead of him.

I'll let the Princess answer this question.
ummm... princess...? wassamatta? this sounds like a personal problem.
Why would you want to dump a proven NBA winner, a guy that played a key role in winning 6 rings, a player who has more championsip experience than any other active player in the NBA, for an unproven Euro?
There is substantial evidence to indicate that replacing Horry, even with HOF Power Forwards, does not increase a teams' chances of winning an le...even teams with Shaquille O'Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon on them.
We don't know that either of those guys will be able to play in the NBA. We do know that Horry at one point was capable of playing very well in crucial moments of le winning playoff runs. No he's not going to average 15 and 10 for an entire playoff run...but I wouldn't be so quick to dump the versatile, intelligent and once clutch Robert Horry...besides minutes are going to be hard to come by, Scola plays the same position as Duncan...what makes you think Scola is going to be happy in the same role as Horry, what makes you think he can beat Malik Rose and Horry out of the key back up big spot?
Because we have watched Horry lay down two years in a row and hurt the team vs. Rose on the floor this year and last.
Scola is a proven winner at the international level where the pressure is just as high, if you want to keep Horry fine, but Scola would be better for this team.
"Why would you want to dump a proven NBA winner"
because he's WAY past his prime now and 3 years since his last NBA win. Notice his stat line last night. 3 TOs, 2 RBs, and 0-2 FTs in 16 minutes, plus his crappy help defense. His legs can't even move laterally, never mind jump. He looked absolutely horrible and lost out there.
(Not a Horry-hater, I like and enjoy Horry the person, and feel sorry for him to be so useless on the court)

We saw him have a bad playoffs for the first time in his career in 03, and BTW, he had an injured hand...just remember...that 3 pointer went waaaaaaaaaay in and then barely out of that basket...it was the best shot he took in that series and we were very fortunate that Horry missed a playoff game winner for the first and still only time in his entire career.
Don't judge Horry by his stats...that's exactly why he has hurt teams in the past...because they underestimate him. And his defense is consistently good.
Last year he played exceptional, until Pop got the, IMO, dumbass idea to have him and his 220lb body guard Shaq.....he played far better than Malik Rose last season...I don't think Malik's minutes should have been reduced, I think Malik would have helped us more against LA...but there's no denying Horry outplayed Malik last season and deserved to be playing ahead of him.
He is? I saw him win one gold medal and that is the extent of his winning, and that was on Manu's team. I'd hardly compare that to Horry's portfolio of clutch playoff moments. I've seen Scola excel in transition offense in international play....I haven't seen one thing to make me think he could be a better back up big on an NBA team than Malik Rose or Robert Horry. I'm not saying he can't...but I don't see it yet. And Javtokas isn't like Malik or Horry really...he's much more like Malik than Horry though...you won't see Javtokas guarding Garnett or Nowitski out on the perimeter...or stretching the opposition defense.Scola is a proven winner at the international level where the pressure is just as high, if you want to keep Horry fine, but Scola would be better for this team.
On top of that...Horry makes the vet min, there is no limit to vet min players....now why you wouldn't want a guy that has his legacy of playoff clutchness on this team, for the vet min, is a mystery to me. Sounds silly to me.
End of discussion.
Horry being clutch is old news. Get with the times.
The less Horry sees the court, the better.
Sincerely, the Houston Rockets, the LA Lakers, Charles Barkley and Karl Malone...and their 0 rings after dumping Horry.
Horry being clutch is old news? That's almost like saying breathing, water and sex are old news...does that invalidate their need?
And TimVP...you just don't like Horry...who do you think you are fooling?
Judge him by his stats are your own peril.
The fact is that we don't know if he has lost his clutchness because he hasn't been put in that situation with the Spurs...we know he missed one shot, and I mean he barely ing missed it...and the fact that that is so held against him...proves what a standard of excellence he has set for himself in those situations.
