    Exactly what i was thinking. Ginobili was my choice. Imagine the chemistry and bball iq that scola has with team, and pair that with Ginobili...

    One thing is for sure, the Spurs FO is a bit overrated if they thought Scola was not worth a 3 million year contract.

    Scola deserves to win a championship here in Houston.

    I'm praying Morey someone finds a way to get us another star while keeping Scola too....I know it's probably a pipe dream, but here's to hoping....

    Or a Ginobili - Lowry backcourt to lead the second unit... with Battier at the 3.

    Bingo...this is the issue with moving Scola, he is now part of the team's heart, its personality and almost the face of the franchise. The more I think about it the more I think Morey will upgrade somewhere else.

    Not only that, he's a winner too! He single-handedly dragged his Argentinian team to a metal during the Olympics. Now tell me if Bosh would have been able to do that!

    There is a reason Scola is always a mvp candidate in the world games and Olympics. He gets BIG MINUTES

    Now that luis is getting a steady flow of minutes his rhythm gets stronger as the game progresses.

    the key here is that this is a STRETCH and Bosh has done this for a CAREER lol i see the wool is pulled over most u gullable fans eyes

    dont let a STRETCH of good ball fool u, his game has been dormant his whole career and hes jus in a zone rite now, at any moment his game can go bak to bein role player good

    the other thing is that at the end of the game u can jus give Bosh the ball and say 'go win us the game' with Scola he cant create his own shot the way the greeat ones can...

    Scolas great and I love him but give me the career superstar over the over achieving role player

    With Scola being a RFA I think its unlikely he is included in a trade. Possible he moves to a bench role if Bosh comes here.

    No matter what, you must keep Scola. He is the ultimate role player, an any night star. He simply brings so much to the team he must not be traded. The painful trade has already been made.

    I think a lot of people forget Bosh is only 25 years old. That is the same age as Brooks....

    Hopefully we can sell high and do a Scola + fillers and maybe a draft pick for Bosh. Giving too much for Bosh is probably not a good option since Scola is playing so well right now.

    It's tough being Daryl Morey, Bosh and Amare beating down his door at 12:01 on the 1st day of FA, Scola begging to come back for a huge hometown discount.

    Well you clearly doesn't follow Scola career. He was MVP anywhere he went, he schooled Bosh twice the times Argentina played the US and has always produced at this level when given minutes and shoots.
    Bosh always had minutes and shots, Scola on the other hand, agreed to a lesser role to come here, and agrees to a lesser role when the game demands it. You know he will... Would Bosh?

    Bosh lacks toughness. Scola is the type of player we need alongside Yao. It was working last year.

    Scola has been playing out of his mind but I think he is the same player who has been given a bigger role with Landry gone.

    24 and 11. That is what Bosh is averaging for the SEASON.
    Oh yeah, and he blocks shots and is 4 years younger.
    Scola has manned up big time but plz people, can we end all
    of this Kevin Martin is better than Kobe and Scola is better
    than Bosh nonsense. :confused:

    Honestly, this kind of hyperbole takes away from the kind of
    great ball Scola is playing. Just appreciate it.
