This is the first thing that came to mind when we drafted Splitter. What happens to Scola's status?
The Spurs drafted Ian Mahinmi two years ago and have now added Tiago Splitter to come in over the next two years and be a part of the Spurs future going forward. I just found myself thinking...what does this mean for Scola?
Is he brought over to the Spurs regardless of the stockpile of international F/Cs currently in the Spurs' system?
Is he traded to a team like the Bulls, who STILL did not address their need for low-post offense?
Does he sign a long-term multi-year contract with a Euro club and effectively never fulfill the hope of some Spurs fans to be a productive NBA player?
What do you think....?

The Spurs would love to have Scola but his buyout has been a continuing problem. They've probably just opted to go in a different direction rather than let Luis grow older and less useful while they wait for his contract to expire.
What's interesting to me was during the telecast, ESPN said that he had a ridiculous buyout just like Scola. Hmm...
Yeah but I think by next summer his buyout is only $1M.
splitter
scola
bench lineup would be nice
The unanswerable question.
Are the Spurs going to get anything out of the Scola pick?
Did he have a good enough season combined with his current lowered buyout (whatever the mystery damn price is): to entice other teams to trade for him?
Or obviously not as the draft just came n went?
I hope someone at Tau gets their asses chewed if the Spurs end up letting the whole buyout outdate itself.
Adding the comment by R.C. in the article from the other thread, in which he basically says that Splitter's contract is much less ambiguous than Scola's.
Maybe that means he's given up on negotiating seriously with Tau to bring Scola over...
I still contend that Chicago is an obvious trading partner....
They added toughness and size in Noah, but not low-post scoring. They also are going to most likely lose PJ Brown and Michael Sweetney this summer....meaning they'll need added depth.
S&T Scola for Duhon....
Okay, that's the last thought of the night....after all, I do have a round of golf to play tomorrow....

I think that the Spurs still plan on trying to bring over Scola one day. Or at the very least trade him. The Spurs were drafting 'n stashing in the first round and Splitter was good depth to add to their foreign contingency.
Scola, Splitter and Mahinmi is a wicked unit of bigmen to have the rights too. You have the rugged pro in Scola, the kid wonder in Splitter and a guy with limitless potential in Mahinmi.
That's a good mix of bigs to have up your sleeve in the coming years.
what's the point of drafting and stashing??? so far it's only worked once and that was with manu, and none of these guys we draft and stash have the potential manu had....... drafting and stashing is ing pointless
and scola already, he wouldn't fit well here, he probably can't defend for , and there needs to be a limit on players with ugly long hair
splitter will be brought over first cause didn't they say his contract ends after next year, and there ain't no negotiation for him to come cause it's a first round contract.
we'll never see scola here and that probably isn't a bad thing
Draft and stash is the balls at this point. We don't really need the players, though youth at the wing was nice, but at this point we have a fine assortment of mediocre players at various positions (discounting Scola). Big whoop.
Well they don't have that many open roster spots, so drafting and stashing or trading picks makes sense.
And it looks like Splitter will have a small ($1M) buyout next summer and can be easily had.
For the last few years I've never thought Scola would come to the Spurs. Hopefully they can deal him and get a pick out of it or something.
Remember this is Tau we're dealing with. Good luck prising a player out of their grasp. Doesn't Splitter have Spanish citizenship, too?
Hopefully Scola is still thought of well and he can be packaged with beno for something.
Neither one will or should be spurs.
Well RC said Splitter's buyout situation is more defined than Scola's and that next summer it shouldn't be a tough situation.
Don't let t-pendojo hear you say this. It'll start another 10 page name calling thread.
Yeah but I bet he understands dollars too.
Atlanta now has like 6 small forwards and no legit power forwards. There would possibly be a deal there if their management wasn't so screwed up.
seems to me, you're the only one calling names.Don't let t-pendojo hear you say this. It'll start another 10 page name calling thread.
I guess you can't criticize your team's draft choices?
The cross is getting crowded.
I expressed frusteration with the stash idea, and was called names up and down.I guess you can't criticize your team's draft choices?
So don't go there. Just say GO TIAGO!!!
I like the idea of it. If we don't need the guy right now, and you're not going to get a guy ready to dominate, or be very successful down low at #28. The Spurs have been crazy successful evaluating foreign talent. They did draft Ginobili, Parker, Barbosa, and Giricek to name a few. Time will tell if this strategy will work out.
none of the guys we ever draft will dominate, they are all nothing more then role players, but there will be no use for a role player when tim retires cause if we have nothing but role players will be worse then the hawks are now
