Many deals have been thrown around since before last years deadline. Most of the proposed sign and trades for Bosh included Luis. Now, while Bosh is off the board, there are other moves that could improve the Rockets. And there is a decent chance that Scola could be brought into the discussion. Take a minute to assess the situation. Luis - a highly skilled pro who has honed his abilities to an edge through hard work ALWAYS gives 100% .... has a motor that doesn't quit great 15 - 20 ft. J a dazzling array of post moves will take the charge/flop as good as anybody (not saying I appreciate flopping except when it's one of our guys) is a winner/embodiment of the kind of player you want on your team ALSO Scola makes 9- 10 million a year - probably pretty fair, but still doesn't have the athleticism to play great interior defense beyond positioning and while he rebounds at a decent clip isn't a windshield wiper despite his age I believe some upside exists here but not much There is a part of me that would love to see Scola retire a Rocket. He's our kinda people. But - As long as we have our wagon hitched to Yao being healthy, the Rockets need length and athleticism out of our 4 IMO. And, there is the matter of trading for a superstar, which we clearly have the assets(including Luis) to do. Do we sell high?
Dude absolute worst time to create this thread, there is mad love going around for the Argentine Dream right now.
Three way trade. Denver gets Carmelo, we get Noah, and Denver gets Luis. Ha ha ha, get er done! :grin:
though i agree this is a stupid threat, the idea may not be that far fetched. obviously his value is high after this FIBA tournament, but i wouldn't trade him for just anyone. scola's work ethic and hustle might be the most valuable aspects of his game, (other than his post skills.) that's why he fits in so well here.
you cant be serious???????????first of all the salaries dont work, secondly noah for scola would be a downgrade for us
Perhaps not the greatest timing to ask this on Clutchfans. Sure I'd live if we traded him, but only if it was for something damn good. You don't trade people just for the sake of them having value.
I'm a HOUSTON ROCKETS fan and while I would love to see Luis do his thing in one of our unis for years, if a deal came down the pike for, say Chris Paul, Carmelo (and Birdman), etc. , it's bye bye Luis.
