...need to know details of the contract before I get excited. Hopefully one-year or at least frontloaded w/ partially guaranteed future years.

You can only claim the years left on the contract, unless the amnestied player hits waivers.

Either way, they got a steal...

LMAO I take that all day 2.1 M...

kbdullah · 07-13-2012, 02:19 PM

If 2.1 M is the winning bid for Brand, then Scola probably clears waivers...

**BlakeJesus** · 07-13-2012, 02:21 PM

Elton is a nice bench big, solid additional for the Mavs.

Or the Mavs just bid for him, too. That's crazy getting Elton Brand for only $2 million.

Its possible, but Scola's min bid is barely over $3 mil per year and I can see the Mavs bidding that. Scola on the open market would be interesting.

kbdullah · 07-13-2012, 02:30 PM

I can't really see Mavericks adding Scola when they already have Dirk, Brand, Kaman, and Wright on the same team, plus draftee Bernard James. No reason to meet that 3 year/10M requirement and jeopardize future cap. Maybe Charlotte goes after him, they are apparently losing the Humphries sweepstakes. Otherwise, he could be on the open market, maybe going for a mid-level.

**Diable** · 07-13-2012, 04:14 PM

You have to put in a bid for Scola if you have the cap space. He's a very good player and you're going to get a shot at him for like 30 or 40 cents on the dollars

**R-Star** · 07-13-2012, 04:17 PM

Nice addition for the Mavs. Collison, Kaman and Brand are nice consolation prizes.

**Hibachi!** · 07-13-2012, 05:27 PM

$2.1 million is solid and I'm glad the Lakers didn't snag him.

Haha, didn't think about that. Where's Cuttino Mobley at?

You find Steve Francis, Cuttino can't be far away.
