    Might have held on to him a little too long. Scola's stock was it's highest two seasons ago.

    2 seasons ago he was a free agent. We signed him to this contract that is now horrendous.

    Not surprising that anyone on the roster gets shopped, especially a PF.

    Any guesses on where he might go? I am thinking Boston. Just seem a good fit. Scola has the kind of warrior mentality and inside-outside game that should be perfect next to Pierce and KG. They don't have any significant front-court players coming back other than KG. They still have cap room to take Scola's salary without giving much back. However, they might pursue a bigger $ guy Restricted FA before settling on a trade.

    We are not going to get much for him at this point >,>. Package him with Kevin Martin to get better deal?

    No surprise obviously. Going to be interesting to see what we can get for Luis.

    Probably a realistic destination. Spurs don't have much too offer, but I don't think we'll be able to get a whole lot for Scola anyway.

    Maybe some type of deal for a small salary filler, a future pick and to rights to some of the Euros the Spurs picked (Lorbek, DeColo, Bertans, Hanga).

    What's the value of a 32 yr old PF who is an average defender, who started to decline and whose contract is not desirable? Unless he is part of a big deal I think we're throwing Hail Marys. I hope there's nothing to worry about.

    Hope we can make this happen. Future protected first and cap relief is all I expect.

    Some team is going to get a great player.

    How about Scola in a sign and trade for Asik? Then the Bulls can amnesty Boozer and save tons of $$$.

    I'm pretty sure bringing Howard to Houston has zero contingency on moving Luis and his bad contract for a rebuilding team.

    My prediction is Spurs, Timberwolves or a dark horse of the Celtics to back up KG.

    I really like Scola but he should play for a contender, not a lottery-bound team like the Rockets. Plus, this would usher in the rebuilding movement the Rockets desperately need.

    Plus Scola and Noah would make the sexiest frountcourt ever
