LOL. I think it will take a hell of lot more than having Scola sit the last 5 games of the season to shake his pride and competitive spirit. Please. I want the highest pick possible no matter what.
Then you don't know what the meaning of those two words is. Scola didn't want to miss one game earlier in the season when his black eye was practically swollen shut. Competitive guys don't like sitting on the bench. It's why we have coaches, because otherwise guys would play the full 48 minutes, even if they weren't doing well, just trying to turn it around on their own.
Trust me Scola is a winner, he would much rather have a team thats capable of winning a championship than playing every minute of a bunch of pointless games at the end of the season. Give Scola an early set of golf clubs and let the rookies develop for a potentially big playoff run in 2010-2011. We all know what Scola can do.
You know nothing about that draft do you? Kobe was not going to sign with any team that drafted him unless it was the Lakers. Kobe would have fallen to the Laker's 24th pick, if it wasn't for the Hornets seeing an opportunity for a trade. Here is what Kobe's agent Arn Tellem said about Kobe playing for the Hornets, who drafted him. Unless Wall or Turner is refusing to sign unless he plays for the Rockets, I don't see Kobe situation happening for the Rockets.
