Bud, Wes , the players themselves said they spent the majority of the offseason in the gym. I went to the free open practice - Scott looked chubby and hobbled.

Improved last year. Hoped he would keep improving this year but has fallen off the edge of the earth as far as his game (I have no idea about the wagon). Oh contraire mon frere! Some big regular season games too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted February 23, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'll always be grateful for the spat with George Hill that came ohhh so close to getting Paul George suspended for Game 7. ~lw3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point in having the player occupy a roster slot... that, in itself, is an opportunity cost to the team since you can have no more than 15. Do the maximum you can do. It is just depressing when you are competing against sub-4:00 milers and your best time is a cool 5:50. Yeah, shed that 2 seconds with that Scott trade. Shed 10 seconds with that Ilyasova trade. Now you'll only lose by a little over 1:30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Scott having some good regular season games too. First one that came to my mind was the game against Golden State when we were both fighting for the best record in the league (the good ol' days). Scott dropped 17 points in 17 minutes and scored 9 in the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hey, looky looky, we got a 2nd rounder for Scott and our good friend Cenk on the move again. So wait, we sent the cash?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted February 24, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 No more Cenk Akyol jokes? Doggone it. Vegas odds at 15:1 we get his rights back down the road. Alain Digbeu is ours for life. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecampster Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just to clarify for some why this deal is brilliant and not just a salary dump. If Scott stayed on the roster all year, 150% of his salary would count against the cap for next season. By dumping Scott now, he doesn't count against the cap for the purposes of signing someone in the off-season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's missing here is that we're in the same boat with practically 27 other teams for all intents and purposes... argue maybe 25, but the point remains.... you can't be satisfied, but at the same time, life is too short to bang your head against the wall over the fact you the three most elite players of this era are on two teams and the rest of us are biding time until one of them breaks down. LBJ pops an achilles one night, and suddenly CLE is within striking distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could just renounce his rights and release his cap hold in the offseason to not have it count against the cap. This was a trade purely for $ and to help PHX get closer to the salary floor. Unless Budcox truly valued Ryan Kelley that much more than Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The updated trade details has Atlanta SENDING the cash, not RECEIVING it. It's probably to pay the balance of Scott's contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
