    This thread is funny. But the truth of the matter is, with our current roster, every game is a big game and must be played like it's a 7 of the playoffs. And they do. I'm proud of them.

    He's the one guy that I think makes up for Shanes "intangibles" should we trade him. He plays hard every single night.

    Scola is a real warrior and his mindset seems to be the current mindset of this team. There is no quit in Scola and his team mates.

    Seeing him play, it is no wonder, his Argentina team has won gold and it's not because of Manu.

    Just though everyone would like to hear Scola's thoughts on the win over the warriors, and upcoming game against the grizzlies:

    Although I think chances are, if the Rockets get Bosh, Scola is not going to be around, I really really hope they keep Scola.

    Personally I think we should have traded Scola and kept Landry, cuz Scola becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season, and definitely will command a hefty salary, whereas Landry's only being paid 3m thru next year. Both are the bulldog type so it's hard to pick, haha

    The Kings didn't want Scola, they wanted Landry, for same reasons you wanted to keep him.

    really? Then why is T-mac being paid 5 times more than Scola? I would take talent over hard work at any time (just like you can't teach height, you can't teach talent) btw, what makes you think that a regular season game is not a pickup game for NBA players? And I can see players get pissed by those "always" trying. And if you don't agree, then plz explain why can players suddenly pick up intensities during play-off games?

    Completely false. Luis Scola is not a free agent at the end of the season.
