here is a horrible translation of the article using Google Translate Scola communicates to the TAU its intention to negotiate its march and to play in HoustonAfter knowing itself that the Rockets had acquired to the Spurs the rights of Luis Scola and his desire to have him the next season, the Argentine player has taken the following step, communicating to the president of the Ceramic TAU, Hustle Querejeta, his intention to play in Houston the next season. In the next hours, the agent of the player will put itself in contact with the baskonista club to make specific the details of his exit Vitoria, 13 jul. 2007 (EFE). - The Argentine player of the Ceramic TAU Luis Scola today communicated the president of the club, Hustle Querejeta, his intention to play the next season in Houston, informed the vitoriano club today. In an official notice, the Ceramic TAU explained that in the next hours the agent of the player will put itself in contact with the club to make specific the details of the exit of Scola. The player has contract in vigor with the Ceramic TAU with a high clause of rescission, reason why he will have to negotiate with the club a payment by his march. The Rockets de Houston has acquired this dawn to San Antonio Spurs the rights of pívot Argentine. The chief of a main directorate of the Rockets, Daryl Morey, emphasized today that “Luis is one of the five better players of the international concert who are not in NBA” and emphasized that Scola “contributes to experience and strength in a position that we needed to reinforce”. Pívot Argentine, been born in Buenos Aires the 30 of April of 1980, arrived at the vitoriano club in 2000 after playing in the Ferro Track the West of its country and in the Gijón. Winner of the ACB and the Glass of the King, was Olympic champion in Athens with the Argentine selection and runner-up of the world in 2002.
I'm excited by the prospect of actually seeing offensive plays run on a consistent basis. The more players that we hav ethat can pass and make good decisions, the better.
All those players from argentina national team who came to NBA can really play the ball. You want to me remind you some of them? Manu Ginobili Andres Nocioni Fabricio Oberto Water Herrmann -pretty good for his rookie season Carlos Delfino-You can argue about him, I think he was unfortunately burried on detroit's bench By the way, Scola is thought be the second best player after Ginobili in their national team. How can he be a bust? Great move, morey!!!
well said, remember, Team Argentina has won both Olympic and World Championship in the past couple years.
This is a Team effort. The hiring of adelman brought a lot of these elements as well.Without adelman bonzi doesn't want to stay and even if he is forced to stay, the vibrations would have been negative.Mike james is another move based on what adelman wants and how adelman really doesn't like traditional point guards because his system is based on having a intiator and not really a set up guy and through out his history as a coach all of his point guards have been shoot first guy's in Terry porter and Mike bibby to name two. Brooks is another player that adelman wanted when he was in portland this off season and he had a chance to watch his game regularly. Any how morey does get a lot of love because to negotiate these matter into existence is a whole other level of work and the scola butler deal had whole lot to with morey being able to communicate effectivelt to pull it off.
http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/p...n=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=6.1.1 Scola On Verge of Signing with Rockets Last Edited: Friday, 13 Jul 2007, 1:43 PM CDT Created: Friday, 13 Jul 2007, 1:40 PM CDT Houston Rockets FOX 26 Sports HOUSTON -- Less than 24 hours after being traded from the San Antonio Spurs to the Houston Rockets, Argentinean forward Luis Scola may be on the verge of signing with the team. On Thursday, the Spurs sent the rights to Scola and backup center Jackie Butler to Houston for guard Vassilis Spanoulis, a 2009 second-round pick, and cash. Scola is a star for the Spanish team, Tau Ceramica, where he earned All-Euroleague First Team honors this past season. The Rockets still have to sign Scola and according to his agent, George Bass, that could happen within a few days. "I think the contract will come together very quickly and I see it coming together by this weekend or early next week," Bass said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. NBA sources told FOX 26 Friday that the Rockets already have the wheels in motion for Scola to take a physical in Buenos Aires once a contract agreement is reached. "Our whole (agency) group is excited about getting Luis traded to Houston." Bass said. Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey told FOX 26 Sports Thursday he expected Scola to join his franchise and compete for a starting job.
Team effort, let's not go out on annoint him anything until we win a championship this season. It has been a team effort and morey is just playing his role and doing the things he is goo at doing.
Yeah, but when the Rockets drafted Brooks, Landry and Newley, Morey and Morey alone was crucified, quartered and suffered death by 10,000 cuts.
Wow, if that is true I think Rockets looks pretty solid up front at PF with Scola, CH, Landry and Harris. They might want to move one of (CH, CL, Harris) for another position. This off season is looking better every day, maybe the new GM does know what he is doing.
