    Don't get me wrong, would love for Scola to retire a Rocket.

    But what would he bring to the PF position? We are in need of a good PF but he doesn't rebound well, probably can't get up and down the court like the rest of the team, and doesn't spread the floor. Don't need him at C with Capella, Nene, and Harrell manning those positions

    Let's spend the cap space wisely

    I dont think anyone would consider you being a buzz kill. I think everyone who saw those early 90's team would agree. (me included)

    However, since those years I would say the 07-09 teams were my favorite. That 04-05 team was legit as well.

    Scola would be our 2nd best rebounder behind Capela - he may not be a starter in the league anymore but if you needed 20 good solid minutes ala David Lee in San Antonio he can give you that.

    Scola was a true warrior for RedNation . He put on his armor and proudly marched into battle every night.

    Ok , I agree that his 3 game has significantly increased. But can he rebound or provide an inside presence on the defensive end? I think that's what we need at the backup PF position since we already have 3 C's already.

    We can't continue to play Ariza or Decker at backup PF. What if Anderson goes down?

    True. Dekker is a 3 and not a 4/pf at least not yet.. he's too weak for PF in the NBA. I've been saying we need a BIG PF who plays D. Doesn't need to shoot threes either!!

    I would love for Scola to be back on the team for the next few months. Please please make it happen.

    I would be thrilled to add Scola for a playoff run. He can give you 15 solid minutes in a high intensity atmosphere in a pinch.

    MAKE IT HAPPEN.

    I keep thinking that something legit happens when someone bumps Scola threads.
