罚球，又是罚球……
马刺的死穴啊 
Oberto前几年就想进NBA，但合同过大，没法来，所以这个三年150万肯定没有他之前的合同大
Spurs reach agreement with Oberto, not Scola

Unwilling to wait any longer for Argentine forward Luis Scola to arrange a buyout agreement with his Spanish team, the Spurs have decided to sign one of his countrymen instead.
Fabricio Oberto, the starting center on Argentina’s national team and one of Manu Ginobili’s best friends, has reached an agreement in principle with the Spurs on a three-year contract worth about $7.5 million.
Players can’t officially sign contracts until the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement is completed. The league has set July22 as a target date for lifting its signing moratorium.
Oberto, 30, averaged 14.2 points and 7.3 rebounds last season for Pamesa Valencia in Spain’s top league. He stands 6-foot-10 and is a good passer and solid low-post scorer whose selflessness, toughness and basketball IQ have long attracted the Spurs.
Oberto teamed with Ginobili, Scola and Chicago’s Andres Nocioni when Argentina upset the United States in the 2002 World Championships. The team beat Team USA again last summer on the way to the gold medal in Athens.
Having established himself as one of the best big men in Europe, Oberto had hoped in recent years to join Ginobili in making the jump to the NBA. The Spurs, whose center and power forward positions are basically interchangeable, think he will fit nicely into their rotation. He also is a poor free-throw shooter, so he should feel comfortable among his new teammates.
“He’s really wanted this for a long time,” said Oberto’s agent, Herb Rudoy, who also represents Ginobili. “When I told him we had reached agreement, he said, ‘I can’t talk, I can only tell you same thing Manu said: My body is too small for my heart. I’m so happy; that’s how I feel.’”
Scola likely didn’t express the same sentiments when told of the Spurs’ decision.
Scola, a 2002 second-round pick of the Spurs, is five years younger than Oberto and considered a more-skilled player. The Spurs had hoped to sign Scola this summer but became fearful of losing Oberto and other free agents if they waited any longer for Scola to reach an agreement on a buyout with his Spanish team, Tau Ceramica.
The NBA buyout in Scola’s initial contract with Tau was a staggering 12 million euros or $14.5million. The team later revised the contract to give Scola a much more affordable buyout based on where he was drafted in the first round. Yet because the deal never specified anything about being selected in the second round, Tau officials claim Scola must pay the original buyout if he wants to leave for the NBA or wait until his contract expires in three years when the buyout is reduced to $1 million.
The Spurs, who are limited by NBA rules to contributing no more than $350,000 to the buyout, have spent more than two years trying to resolve the matter. While Scola’s agents tried to convince the Spurs they eventually will strike a deal with Tau — the issue could end up in the hands of an arbitrator — team officials decided they couldn’t risk waiting.
Tau already has lost its head coach this summer, and two of the team’s top players, Jose Calderon and Arvydas Macijauskas, could depart. As a result, Tau’s owners might be hesitant about letting Scola also leave.
The Spurs have discussed trading Scola’s rights, but any team interested in him is likely going to want assurances he will be able to free himself from his Spanish contract.
After Oberto’s signing, the Spurs will have about half of their $4.9 million midlevel exception remaining, in addition to their $1.6 million exception. They would like to add an athletic wing player, a third point guard (re-signing Mike Wilks remains a possibility) and another reserve big man to occupy the role Tony Massenburg and Kevin Willis held previously.
Though the Spurs could re-sign Devin Brown without using either exception, they so far appear hesitant about giving him a significant raise because of health concerns. Doctors have assured team officials Brown’s back eventually will heal. They just can’t tell them when.
Sacramento’s Maurice Evans and Indiana’s James Jones are other options, though both are restricted free agents, giving the Kings and Pacers the right to match offers they receive from other teams.
The Spurs also might wait to see how much the free-agent pool deepens after the NBA’s new amnesty rule goes into effect, allowing teams the right to waive one player and avoid his luxury-tax penalty. Dallas is expected to cut Michael Finley if it can’t first find another team willing to trade for him. New York also figures to part with guard Allan Houston.
Center Rasho Nesterovic has generated some trade interest among other teams, though the Spurs have yet to find a deal they like.
He also is a poor free-throw shooter, so he should feel comfortable among his new teammates.

好象还有人连Scola都不知道
好像土匪…
比起Scola, Oberto在阿根廷國內與國際賽場上都更為有名…
只不過前者比後者年輕些…
但就小弟在奧運時所見的印象…
Oberto不但球風穩健, 有攻有守…
且與刺客Menu默契更好, 好到幾乎可以稱為爵士兩老之阿根廷組合…
這位老兄在阿根廷國家代表隊的地位就像TD在馬刺的地位一樣…
不僅為供輸重心, 且球隊落後時幾乎都是持球的第一人選…
他一定比Massenburg好用, 因為每一項數據都比Massenburg還優…
但若提到是否為馬刺所需要的鋒線角色我並未持肯定的答案…
因為剛剛有提到他在陣中的地位…
若他的心態沒有稍作調整的話, 屆時TD的角色會和他格格不入…
是否可以像Manu一樣, 讓球隊達到1+1大於2的功效則有待商榷…
斯科拉今年来不了啦。
希望他会比MMD做得更好啦
我个人就不太喜欢MMD，他给人的感觉就不那种不会进攻，有点单纯的家伙~~
最重要的是一定要能帮得邓肯的手！邓肯急需一个能帮手攻防的内线！
个人对这个中锋的期望不大（可能是直觉吧）
这个帅哥。。。不笑还好，一笑。。。
算了，没表情的时候挺帅的，罚球真是差
斯帅哥估计来不了了，就拿这个弥补弥补
但我还挺喜欢MMD，尽管我对他总决赛的表现很失望
Duncan身高不足7尺，但可盖7尺5寸的Yao Ming, 足矣。
Ginobili 有个伴，应发挥更好。
喉喉。浏览完毕
撤退。。
说的好
wow
先是奥兄来啦，斯卡拉老弟明年吧
呵呵，我们不成了阿根廷帮啦
这位仁兄打球确实很拼，能做阿根廷队队长，能力一定不是吹的啦
加油！！！
第二张图是OBERTO VS SCOLA?
期待他的表现…
要是Scola就好了,那个兄弟超强!
恩,很强呀
还年轻
GO!SPURS!GO!
