[情報] Scola's NBA dream now a reality after trade
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/4967808.html
LAS VEGAS — After five years of "dreaming," Luis Scola was too excited to
sleep.
Unable to come to terms with the San Antonio Spurs to make the jump to the
NBA, Scola reached a "basic agreement" with the Rockets less than 24 hours
after the club acquired his draft rights from San Antonio along with Jackie
Butler for Vassilis Spanoulis and a 2009 second-round pick
"We're working on the contract, but we've got a basic agreement, an
understanding," George Bass, Scola's agent said Friday. "He's so excited, he
probably didn't sleep a wink last night. He's thrilled, this has been his
dream for five years."
The Rockets quickly reached an agreement on a contract worth approximately
$9.3 million over three years, with a large payment upon signing from that
total to help Scola pay the $3.2 million buyout from his contract with Tau
Ceramica. The Rockets will also contribute $500,000, the most allowed by NBA
rules, toward the buyout.
"There is nothing we would anticipate being a problem," Rockets general
manager Daryl Morey said. "We have to sign him to a contract. He has to
finish getting bought out of Tau. But we feel good about both of those things
happening.
"We have a strong structure of a deal in place. We'll get it done."
The talks with Scola were far enough along for him to take and pass his
physical Friday in Argentina.
"Luis is healthy," Morey said. "He played all the games with Tau down the
stretch last year and in the playoffs. The doctors found no issues."
With the Scola trade approved, the contract almost wrapped up and Butler
already sitting on the bench of his new team, Morey made his first contract
offer to an NBA free agent, Rockets forward Chuck Hayes.
"We're getting Chuck back," Morey said. "We offered a multi-year deal. There
will be sort of an incentive type structure to it. At least, that's what I'm
proposing. We have to get closer together, but it's not like we're in
different arenas right now."
Hayes' agent, Bill Duffy, also said he imagined no problems reaching an
agreement.
"They want Chuck back," Duffy, who met with Morey Friday the Thomas & Mack
Center, said.
The Rockets did not stop there. As expected, the Rockets completed a
two-year, non-guaranteed contract with former Rice forward Mike Harris, one
of the stars of the summer league team. The deal assures that Harris will be
in the Rockets training camp, and comes with a limited guarantee, likely
$50,000.
With 19 players either under contract or expected to be (including Scola,
Hayes, Dikembe Mutombo and Bob Sura), the Rockets began looking to thin the
roster.
"We're trying to find John (Lucas III) a home," Morey said. "He has a lot of
interest around the league.
"I do feel like we have a roster now we can go forward with, but we're still
looking for upgrades."
Butler said he felt about the same way. After rarely playing with the Spurs
last season, he said he was initially stunned with the trade, but now saw it
as a chance to earn more playing time.
"I talked to Pop at first," Butler said of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. "Pop
told me no hard feelings or anything like that. It's cool.
"I just want to get somewhere and start playing a little bit. I'm there now,
and nothing can turn it back.
"I'm going to come in and play my role, grab rebounds and block shots. My mom
lives there, so that's good right there. I got my mom on my side. I'm just
happy. I'm going to Houston."
Scola felt the same way.
It's official!!!!
我們和Scola正式達成協議,合約內容為三年930萬(比傳言更便宜!!Morey你是我的神!!)
買斷費為320萬,火箭幫忙出50萬,剩下的Scola自己出
Scola已經通過體檢,所以歡迎Scola成為火箭人
Morey也提到已經給Hayes一份複數年的合約,Hayes的經紀人也說簽約方面應該沒問題,
Morey也說要幫LocasIII找個新家(XD),聯盟中有其他隊伍對盧三有興趣
最後是Butler的訪問,他說來到Houston很開心,因為他有比較多的上場時間,而且他媽媽
也住Houston.....
一連串的正面消息.....真好
