fwiw, this could also mean that Scola was insisting, "Weren't you aware of what happened?"

Here's a little more on Scola's reaction to the trade. It really shows he's disappointed on this whole thing but he also says he's just moving on.

"It was a weird day. I was at home the whole time, I was calm. But it was different. You have to understand that the NBA is a business. The move wasn't so crazy: there were players involved in the trade of a different magnitude and better contrast than me. In this league there is a lot of movement and there are rules that encourage trades. (Argentines) have a strong influence from soccer and cannot fully understand it. The average American likes seeing trades."
(...)
"What is weirder is that once it was done, it fell through. I was going into a movie theater, because since I came (to Houston) alone, I was kind of bored. So I said: 'I'm going to the movies'. I didn't go after all, but if I had gone in there, I wouldn't have heard a thing. It all happened so fast."
(...)
"The NBA leaves players out in these cases: we can't intervene in it, nor give our opinion. If it had gone through, the person that was supposed to confirm it to me was the Hornets' General Manager, to welcome me, tell me where I was gonna live and let me know where my locker would be. I was not involved in any of this. I have gotten used to it by now, but to people in Argentina, this is hard to understand."
(...)
"I have fully identified myself with this franchsie, its colors, the city and its people. I felt a bit like a fool. I don't want to be misunderstood on this, but I felt like a bit of a fool, even though none of it took me by surprise. I know fully well what this business is like. I should not have gotten so involved. It was like a reality check."
(...)
"It's not that I'm mad. I knew how this whole thing worked, but now that I was part of it, I take it in a different way. I talked with the Rockets' people yesterday and confirmed it's fine, I'm not angry… What was I gonna say? I'm happy being here and playing in the NBA. I won't get all negative."
