    Misinformation in jbasket's post. SMH. Scola on the bench for the Spurs.

    Let me get this straight. In your opinion, the great Spurs management foresaw that Jeremy Lin would be a star player, yet would not even be willing to part with a 2nd round pick to trade for him from Golden State? That they felt a star player was worth at most a waiver wire pickup?

    So I guess here's where we have to agree to disagree about what constitute great management.

    Warriors waived Lin to open up extra cap space to chase RFA DeAndre Jordan. They waited out the waiver period and hope to get him back, after Jordan was signed. They could sign players for the vet minimum, even if they are capped out and have no exceptions. If they traded him to the Spurs for a 2nd round pick, they would lose Lin 100%. pointless. The Warriors have always been poor decision makers, though.

    well sorry, if scola was not traded immediately, he would of been on the bench behind duncan. That is a typo, not Misinformation. While your "facts" are taken way out of context and flat out wrong. The only counterargument you can find is a typo? Please.

    and clearly, in this article, the spurs GM let go of Scola for developing other players and how he was "cumbersome, under-performing and overpaid". Therefore, a good pickup by Morey to recognize he is better than how he played in SA.
