Too bad not many teams are looking for a power forward

maybe not a starting pf, but what about a 6th man pf? if it doesnt work out, they get a big expiring when his contract is up

I guess the biggest question is are we trying to move them for: a) talent in return + cap space or b) cap space/so the players behind them can develop. If the answer is b we should be able to move both. I say that because these are two players who can still play that we wouldn't be asking for too much for. Milwaukee, Toronto, Phoenix, Charlotte are a couple of teams that might be interested in scola.

Trade him to Nets for a TPE and our 1st rounder back.

Patrick Patterson. I think Royce White has the most potential at PF though.

Pat Pat is a C, and Royce White is a PG.

the plan is simple, trade for all the power forwards so the league has none left so then we control the value of them. :lol:

Once Antwan Jamison cap hold is removed from the Cavaliers books, I wonder if they would be interested in Scola's services? I think he would provide some veteran leadership to go with their young guns. I think Scola's offensive attributes would blend well there.

I was thinking maybe for a TPE and Miami's 2013 1st Round Pick.

Or possibly a 3 team deal with Orlando for Howard.

I was thinking the same thing I just don't know how much they believe in Tristan Thompson and if they would think that would hurt his deveolpment...

Trade scola, lowry martin.

Start dmo, lamb.

Tank for top 3 pick.

On 2nd thought maybe we should keep martin if our goal is to tank.

Scola and Varejao together. That's a lot of hair flopping.

The Nets and Rockets held deep trade talks on Saturday centered around Luis Scola, according to sources.

But talks fell apart before a deal could be reached.

Houston has been working to trade Scola this offseason and selected several forwards in this week's draft.

Im ready for the end of the scola era in houston. Hard worker and a nice fella by all account but we seriosuly need to cut some minutes for the other young 7 pf on this team.

I could see Scola in Brooklyn. Too bad the deal fell through.
I still remember that game he scored 44 points on them.
