    Such an opportunity lost. Scola was a perfect compliment to Yao, and if the big fella had been half as durable as Luis, he would still be with the Rockets and we would have been talking about how far we could go in the playoffs, not if we could sneak in. I think Scola would have been good next to Howard or Bynum, but we'll never know, unless one those two players are with another team and Luis is on it.

    Like many others, I usually skip these threads but Scola definitely deserves the respect of everyone who even pretends to call themselves a Rockets fan. I'll miss you Ice Cream Man...u deserve better

    It is a sad day so to see Luis go. In the words of the great clyde a "consummate professional."

    Notice Clyde's identification of the high pick and roll play, the only play he ever identifies.

    For a man who was such an incredible basketball player, it's astounding how awful Clyde is as a talking head on TV.

    I even called my fantasy football team last year "Scola Beast Mode"
    You will be missed!! :(

    Te extrañaré verte jugar en Houston, Gracias por todo Luifas!

    Now another great moment from Scola:

    This pretty much sucks. I hope whatever it is going on behind the scenes works.

    It's tough when you give up a guy that was pegged to be so important to possible title runs, classy, productive and a heart larger than Argentina. This stings probably a little more than usual, at least for me.
