    It sucks, but I think at this stage we couldn't afford to take back additional salary.
    We are now far enough under the cap to accept a chunk of bad contracts from Orlando (for better or worse).

    Scola is a Rocket for life in my book. Much love

    I would like to believe our management has some class. Therefore I believe there were offers for Scola, but not from a team that is a contender. This way Scola has time to join up with a contending team, the classy thing to do for a player like Big Luis.

    Our management has class? You know how many players have left this team on bad terms?

    That is incorrect. He goes to auction to the highest bidding non luxury tax team.

    Charlotte could literally bid for and get Scola thanks to the Rockets.

    It seems like yesterday when everyone was complaining about Scola's lack of defense and poor overall performance last season. Just saying.

    Other than the fact he wanted to stay in Houston, he isn't getting a raw deal (IMO).

    He is still getting his money and now he can pick another team to go to, maybe one that gives him a good shot at a ring in the next few years.

    That said, I am sad to see him go. I blame injures for this. Had Yao stayed healthy, Scola probably stays in Houston a lot longer...

    Just wondering, if a non contending team picks him up, can he refuse to go there? Say he goes back to Europe or to China or something?

    I think morey could get rid of a bad contract plus duhon by the deadline-then again
    what if a change of scenery is what Jrich needs and he stepped up, or duhon
    actually controls the ball-maybe things can work out as long as it -a. Happens b. Dwight commits to playing all out ball during his contract year (which is almost irrelevant bc he'd be paid the same if he didn't live up to expectations bc of the lack of supply in dominant big guys)

    Wow, it must be Houston that is getting Dwight. Hope it's true. But I am still sad for Scola.
