He won MVP of the Americas Championship not the World Championship. BIG difference. Pau Gasol was MVP of the World Championship, not Scola.
head and novak will be gone no question about it, i wish we could keep novak though... great shooter( he hit the most exciteing game winner for the rox's last year)
Whats the point? Just because iI was wrong and he didnt win the "world" makes him an underachieved overrated player now? No point in trying to crrect me on an insiginifcant detail if your argument is going to be pointless
Interesting, you sound like the Landry's agent. Landry could be better in the next few years if he does not have the keen problem, but right now Scola is a better player, that is why he is a starter on the team.
Scola is just getting started. He's gaining more and more confidence every time he goes out there. On top of that, he is a SPONGE. He's getting better fast because he's absorbing SO MUCH still. I can't wait to see where he is by the middle of next season. He is the most exciting player the rockets have right now in my opinion.
You are not require to play in your 3rd year in the NBA. It have to be his own choice to participate.
Dude, just because you CAN post doesn't mean you SHOULD. Please, learn something about basketball before you post again, the world will thank you for it.
C = Yao, Mutombo, Woods* PF = Scola, Landry, Dorsey SF = Battier, Greene, Novak* SG = T-Mc, Barry, Head* PG = Alston, Brooks, BJax * = #13, 14 and 15 slots SF takes medical retirement and goes out a Rocket Harris is cut Hayes and Head get traded asap BJax is gone by trade deadline in February Woods -- Bigs are always in demand and in short supply Novak -- A shooter who can change a game in a few seconds Luther -- We have too much invested so this mistake needs to be traded for something.
Sorry that everyone is jumping on you like this, but I don't think you should make ridiculous and stupid comments. By any chance do you know how many teams would like to pry a player like Scola and Landry away from us. Even though he is a lil undersized he plays with heart and has great skills.
Luther Novak and Chuck hayes trade for a sign and trade involving Maurice Evans (free Agent Orlando) and 2nd Round draft pick Cut woods that gives us a 15 man offensive and defensive balanced squad of T-mac Batman Yao Rafer Scola SF3 Landry B-jax B Barry Mutombo Dorsey M Evans A brooks Greene Harris
As was said before in the papers it does not seem that Morey wants to change the core of the team. Scola being traded without locking in on Landry yet, would be a very risky move.
Luther Head should be in the summer league to improve his basketball skills. Seeing that he isn't, either he's getting cut, or the Rockets think he's better than he really is.
Why would the Rockets ship scola out for ben Gorden. Scola has develop into a monstrous force next to yao. The Rockets play so well with him in the starting line-up. He's solid, can score, hustle and works hard. why would we give him up? Even Memphis wanted Scola for Mike Miller. I rather have Mike Miller on the Rockets any day more than Ben Gorden.
