The guy won the MVP of the top Spanish league, Again! The spurs drafted him years ago. He has said he would welcome the challenge and competition of the NBA.

I have no doubt in my mind that Luis scola would instantly contribute to the league. He deserves the NBA's respect, especially since he was a huge key in embarrasing USA basketball in international play.

Anybody with knowledge or some kind of understanding of this situation?

I want scola in a knick uniform so bad it aint even funny.

I just think its a major crime that this dude is not allowed to come to the nba.

Is it some penis envy stuff going on? Like the spurs are afraid to tarnish duncans legacy? Do they think scola should give up his stature around the world and bow down to the spurs for a nba minimum contract?

I would try to get scolas rights. Can the knicks trade channing for scola some kind of way?

His current team is asking a ridiculous sum for him, last I heard.

The other accusations you made are a little silly.

So what is the club asking for?

The nba and its damn rules. I know teams are only allowed to buyout a certain amount of his contract. The rest would have to come from the player.

Just this summer in baseball 2 Japanese pitchers were "bid" on for the right to talk to them. That's crazy. Yet the nba has all these freakin rules.

Spurs drafted scola. They refused to give him a real contract. The guy is a top player in the world. He is gonna have to take a pay cut to forfill an nba dream but if the spurs don't want to commit to him allow another team an opportunity to sign him. Scola has signed more than one contract already since the spurs drafted him. He should have been a spur already.

Manu says scola wants to play in the nba. Its gotta be the spurs holier than thou attitude.

From Wikipedia:
In the summer of 2005, the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA (who drafted Scola in 2002) attempted to negotiate with TAU to buy out his contract, but TAU wanted over 3 million dollars for the contract, which made it impossible for Scola to join Argentina national teammate Manu Ginobili. When the deal to buy out Scola's contract fell through, the Spurs instead signed Argentine teammate and good friend Fabricio Oberto.

I thought it was more than that, but I can't blame the Spurs for this one.

Quite frankly, the baseball rules are retarted. The fact that the Japanese teams got something like $70 million between the two deals just to TALK to the players is insane and not right. The NBA does it the right way, IMHO.

Its 2007, how long is scola under contract for? He was drafted in 2002? They tried to get him signed in 2005? Ok well its 2007.

Scola for president, lol. I think the guy is a sure fire starter on any nba team. I just don't want to see him after his prime.
