    I don't think we're getting Scola. Why wouldn't he come for a championship team like the Spurs and come to the Rockets. He's not that ambitious it seems. But, we're essentially buying butler and that's not too shabby. We still need an answer for PF.

    Give me one reference were Scola has said that he doesn't want to come to the NBA. His buyout was too expensive and it wasn't worth it for the Spurs. I bet you that he will come for the right cash

    1. He's a PF
    2. Tim Duncan likes to play PF
    3. Tim Duncan is kind of a good player
    4. They signed Matt Bonner as one of their back up at the PF position

    6. See #1
    7. We have a starting position open at PF

    I don't know if Scola's coming but I think BUtler alone is a steal - really like that we bargain-stole him from the spurs, no less.

    Sorry for the double post.

    I'm pumped young promising talent!!!

    Argentina's Luis Scola has gone toe-to-toe with NBA stars like Carlos Boozer in international play.

    HELL YES!!!!

    It appears that Vspan is worth a lot more now that he is refusing to play. :p :) :p :p :D

    Lindsey loves V-Span and I think he thinks that he could convince him to be a Spur in the near future. I love the trade. Scola is a stud and Butler is better than Deke. I like Deke but he is just too slow.

    I'm quite pleased, aren't we all? I'm tickled at the hate from the SAS fans on the deal. :D
