I know Bosh is all world and would make us a title contender on paper but Luis Scola is doing things we haven't seen since Barkley's first year. I am starting to wonder if Landry being traded didn't turn on the Light bulb for Luis to start being a go to player he was meant to be. Luis has been playing all-star level PF since the deal so at what point does Morey start thinking about keeping Luis instead of moving him?
Another factor to be considered is Chemistry, he has meshed beautifully with this team and already knows how to play with the big man so is that now something to consider?
Finally, money...a much cheaper player who can average 18-10 which with regular playing time he can achieve. I am completely perplexed at this point because I think Bosh is fantastic but Scola is so much heart/hustle that you can not just ignore it.
What does Morey do now???

Morey probably agrees with me that Bosh is overrated. I don't think Bosh is one of his targeted undervalued players like Martin was before we got him.
Morey is probably targeting Ginobili or another clutch ballhandler for next season.

The Rockets need to add 2 additional impact players- without losing any- to be championship contenders, i.e. two of a Carmelo, Billups, Iguodala, Granger, etc.

Sign Scola + one more decent bigman in free agency. Then he goes and trades a Battier or Ariza + NYK 1st rounders + Hill + cash for Evan Turner (or #2 overall).

I think scola is getting PAID this offseason. Some one will give him a 3 years 30 mil deal.

No Dilemma, keep Scola. I still want Bosh but don't want to give up Scola. Possible? I think so

If you had asked about a month ago trading Scola for Bosh would've been a no brainer....But now that he's beasting its hard to say...Is it just a hot streak..or the real scola?

Hey, what I have seen these days was that our Rockets is gonna make another Chirs Webber.
Scola is Made to Webber by Adel.

Love Luis, but we need some shot-blocking.

I think the real dilemma would be Scola playing great recently, helping the team to get as many wins as possible, yet would incredibly increasing his bargaining power in the offseason.
It's not going to be cheap to keep the beast. And I would not trade Scola for Bosh.

Just let him play, the guy has 3 or 4 great years left.
Let's enjoy them.

The more you play Scola the better he gets. He's built for year round basketball.

You DO NOT trade players like Scola. Because you can't teach hustling and competitiveness and desire to win. Certain players just love competition and step up their games in BIG GAMES....Scola is one of those players. Bosh maybe better than Scola in every area of the game....but who's to say that he has the desire and the will like Scola?? Not to mention....the chemistry with the team.

Scola is the man, but he will be 30 next month. Bosh is 25 and has a bigger reputation as a legit all-star. If it was to come down to it....you probably take Bosh..even if it means losing Scola.

Not to say that Scola already likes playing with Yao, is comfortable playing off him as Yao is already comfortable playing with Scola.
You have a very efficient player that already knows the system and the players, and you don't trade.

Scola is second best option to Bosh. He is playing great but Bosh has length to bother people driving to basket. Still, I would be fine with Scola being our starting PF next year, we just need upgrades still.

Bosh is not tough enough.
Love Scola so much! Hard working, doing everything he can.And he has much stronger desire for the championship than Bosh.
He is the undispensable part for Rockets. It will be a huge mistake if Morey let him go.
