I would trade Landry. Scola has played on the international level and he has a post game, something we lack outside of Yao. He has an array of moves, he hustles. Landry brings hustle, and good finishing and rebounding... and I would much rather have a guy whos more offensively talented.
Somebody please lock this thread. The title and my question are opposite. My bad. After reading it is misleading. Sorry.
Damn...this poll sucks! I read the title...who would you rather keep...and my answer is Scola but then the question for the poll asked who would you rather trade. Don't you think this poll is misleading and flawed? Although, I rather trade none but playing along with your scenario I choose to trade Landry. So deduct 1 from Scola's tally and tack it up for Landry.
I just voted the wrong way. (oh well!) I would keep Scola, who I think is going to be really improved next season. Landry has had some great moments and a few great games, but Scola is durable and a solid starter. Landry is more of a risk. I'd trade the risk, if forced to choose between the two. Would much rather keep both!
crap i also voted the wrong way looking at the title of thread i would keep scola any day of the week over landry. but of course I want to keep both but if a trade came along that would make the rockets better and landry was the only thing holding the team back from making the deal, make the deal i say.
seriously, this thread title messed up the poll results big time... as much as i love landry, id have to keep scola.
I polled wrong too -- Keep Landry; but Scola CANNOT be traded for nothing. A legit scorer and nothing less
I think Scola is a glue guy and solid contributor on both sides of the floor right now. Landry has more upside, because he is more athletic and shoots better from the outside and is better at the ft line. So if I had to give up one it would have to be Landry, because he is more unproven. I do think Scola is a tradeable asset and would look to move him for the right package. Especially for a 3rd scorer (star).
Start a new thread with a better title and poll so we can get the real results. It's an interesting question... though it appears most would keep scola.
