So whats up with this guy?
Is he ever gonna play with San Antonio or will his contract in Europe prevent him from doing so?

[ALVAREZ6]

Probably will never wear a Spurs uniform.

[Marcus Bryant]

Let's try to keep this to reports about Scola, at least at the start. Thanks.

I thought the le of this thread was Updates.

So, where's the update?

[ALVAREZ6]

There probably aren't any updates...it's the same story every year.

[spurscenter]

SCOLA buy out is now at 2.5 mil, can be done, now more than ever.

[rayray2k8]

Thanks.
That's why I asked. I wanted an UPDATE on Scola.

[SenorSpur]

Probably will never wear a Spurs uniform.

I hope not. Personally, I've not been impressed with what I've seen. I'd rather the Spurs leverage his rights into a suitable trade package.

[Russ]

Sclola update -- he's even slower than he was a year ago.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Thanks.
That's why I asked. I wanted an UPDATE on Scola.

exactly.

Where's the update? Where is there any new information about Scola.

If someone wants to start a new thread led, "Updates: Luis Scola" , shouldn't he provide some new information about him, especially in relation to the Spurs.


The other thing is that the early posters were on point. They didn't go off topic. So, why reprimand them?



Lame thread. Lame posts.

[spursfaninla]

People are going to be asking about updates on the potential new spurs for next year. Taking a "mod-like" structuring role around here is not a bad idea; better than posting 10 threads about this topic, one each day, that falls off the first page.

appreciated.

some people do not know how this forum works in the offseason

[SpursWoman]

Lame thread. Lame posts.

Ummm...these are threads that are started at the beginning of each offseason to keep track of what's going on and keeping all the info together for each free agent/prospect. It's something that we've done every year...the index of players with links to their threads are stickied to the top for reference.

It's not lame, it's very useful. If you find some info on a player, find them in the index and post it in their thread.

[Marcus Bryant]

I see many can complain, but few can contribute. Thanks to SW for explaining the concept.

will scola be willing to come off the bench and play with manu
him and manu would know where each like the ball
most spurs take a year to learn the system
hopefully if he is not traded it will not take that long

[Twisted_Dawg]

That "other" board is reporting the Spurs plan to add him to the roster for 2007.

Scola makes progress on buyout from Spanish team

DALLAS — The Spurs currently don't have a first-round pick in next month's NBA draft, but they may derive some benefit from a couple of their previous selections this summer.

Argentine forward Luis Scola, who was taken by the Spurs in the second round of the 2002 draft, has negotiated a more affordable buyout with his Spanish team.

The Spurs broke off talks with Scola last summer over fears he wouldn't be able to free himself from his contract with Tau Ceramica because Tau officials claimed his buyout would cost almost $15 million. Recent discussions between Scola's agents and the team, however, have lowered the amount Scola will have to pay to come to the NBA to between $3 million-$3.5 million.

"We feel good about the progress that's been made," said Spurs assistant general manager Sam Presti, who recently visited Scola in Spain, "and about Luis' possibilities of coming to the NBA."

Whether Scola ever wears a Spurs uniform remains to be seen. The Spurs will assess their needs this summer, as well as what type of contract Scola is seeking, before deciding whether they would be better off trading his rights.

Scola, 26, remains one of Europe's top players. A 6-foot-9 power forward, he again helped lead Tau to the Euroleague Final Four while averaging 14.7 points and 6.6 rebounds.

The latest on Scola :

http://spurstalk.com/forums/showpost...5&postcount=12

in the last year of his contract in Spain, Tau staff should let Scola go, with a buyout of $2.5M, instead of getting nothing for him in one year. It's up to the Spurs to decide to sign him with them or to use him as a trading asset during the draft...

No definition on Scola’s future.

About the possibility of Scola arriving to the Spurs this year, the coach commented: “He can be, or not. He wants to be here, we want him to be here, but it’s a problem in his contract that I’m tired of hearing about. We’ll see what happens this year”. However, when asked about the possibility of trading his rights to another team in exchange for draft picks, he answered: “Yes, it’s probable, RC Bufford is on charge there, but so far we have received stupid offers. There’s nothing good in return”.

[Marcus Bryant]

Team officials will evaluate Ian Mahinmi, their 2005 first-round pick, in the summer leagues to determine whether he is worthy of a roster spot next season. They also have the rights to Argentine forward Luis Scola, who remains one of the best players in Europe, but they might not have room for him if Oberto and Horry return.

Umm... it's a thread where people are supposed to post the latest news and updates on Scola, so it's not spread in multiple threads.
