Spurs-Mavs notebook: Scola makes progress on buyout from Spanish team

DALLAS — The Spurs currently don't have a first-round pick in next month's NBA draft, but they may derive some benefit from a couple of their previous selections this summer.

Argentine forward Luis Scola, who was taken by the Spurs in the second round of the 2002 draft, has negotiated a more affordable buyout with his Spanish team.

The Spurs broke off talks with Scola last summer over fears he wouldn't be able to free himself from his contract with Tau Ceramica because Tau officials claimed his buyout would cost almost $15 million. Recent discussions between Scola's agents and the team, however, have lowered the amount Scola will have to pay to come to the NBA to between $3 million-$3.5 million.

"We feel good about the progress that's been made," said Spurs assistant general manager Sam Presti, who recently visited Scola in Spain, "and about Luis' possibilities of coming to the NBA."

Whether Scola ever wears a Spurs uniform remains to be seen. The Spurs will assess their needs this summer, as well as what type of contract Scola is seeking, before deciding whether they would be better off trading his rights

Scola, 26, remains one of Europe's top players. A 6-foot-9 power forward, he again helped lead Tau to the Euroleague Final Four while averaging 14.7 points and 6.6 rebounds.

The Spurs will end the season with 10 players under contract, including center Rasho Nesterovic and forwards Robert Horry and Fabricio Oberto. They also could try to re-sign center Nazr Mohammed.

If the Spurs decide to trade Scola's rights, 6-10 Lithuanian forward Robertas Javtokas could be a more affordable option.

The Spurs drafted Javtokas in the second round in 2001. He severely injured his right leg and right shoulder in a motorcycle crash the next summer, but has recovered well enough that some scouts think he could be a productive rotation player in the NBA.

Javtokas, 26, averaged 9.6 points and 8.2 rebounds for Lietuvos Rytas in Euroleague play. His contract with the team expires at the end of the season, so he won't have to pay a buyout.

The Spurs like how his defense has improved.

"We've been very pleased with the progress Robertas has shown," Presti said.

Ian Mahinmi, last season's first-round pick who isn't expected to be NBA ready for at least another year, will play for the Spurs' summer-league team in Utah unless France selects him for its national team. Viktor Sanikidze, a 2004 second-round pick, also is expected to play in the summer league.

Playing against a mirror: With Mavericks coach Avery Johnson having built Dallas' defensive system on some of the same principles Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has used for years, the Spurs have learned how difficult it is to score on themselves.

"It's like Superman vs. Bizarro Superman," Brent Barry said Saturday morning. "That's what I liken it to. Up is down. Down is up. Left is right.

"Bizarro Superman has a backward 'S' and talks backwards. He sounds a lot like Beno (Udrih): 'Good day you have?' Things like that."

Diamond back from rough: After his wife lost her wedding ring earlier this week, Dallas guard Darrell Armstrong was prepared to replace the diamond for Mother's Day.

Then a good-hearted Mavericks fan gave him a surprise and saved him a chunk of cash. University Park resident Sally Davis found the ring outside a pharmacy on Monday, and left her name and number at the store.

When Deidra Armstrong called about the ring, the two women were put in touch, and Davis returned it. Darrell Armstrong, who gave Davis tickets to Saturday's game and a signed jersey for her son, said he and his wife were overwhelmed by the generosity.

"I'm happy to see that there are good Samaritans around, there are good people around," Armstrong said. "You see so much negativity on the news. When you see something good like that, you sure appreciate it."

Armstrong said it also put his wife's mind at ease.

"She was so upset, she didn't want to tell me until I got home (from San Antonio)," Armstrong said

DALLAS — The Spurs currently don't have a first-round pick in next month's NBA draft, but they may derive some benefit from a couple of their previous selections this summer.
达拉斯--虽然下个月的NBA选秀大会第一轮没有马刺的事,但他们也许会从先前的选秀中获取些益处.

Argentine forward Luis Scola, who was taken by the Spurs in the second round of the 2002 draft, has negotiated a more affordable buyout with his Spanish team.
阿根廷前锋Luis Scola是在02年的选秀第二轮被马刺选中的.目前他与自己所在的西班牙球队的合同问题有了新的进展.

The Spurs broke off talks with Scola last summer over fears he wouldn't be able to free himself from his contract with Tau Ceramica because Tau officials claimed his buyout would cost almost $15 million. Recent discussions between Scola's agents and the team, however, have lowered the amount Scola will have to pay to come to the NBA to between $3 million-$3.5 million.
上个夏天,马刺管理层因为担心Scola不能摆脱和Tau Ceramica的合同而放弃了进一步的会谈--Tau要求的买断金为15,000,000美元.但是,Scola经理人在近期和球队官员的一次会谈上成功把买断金降到了3,000,000-3,500,000美元.

"We feel good about the progress that's been made," said Spurs assistant general manager Sam Presti, who recently visited Scola in Spain, "and about Luis' possibilities of coming to the NBA."
"有这样的进展很好,"马刺助理主管Sam Presti说道,"当然,也很欣慰Luis有更大的可能进入NBA."他最近刚去西班牙探望了Scola.

Whether Scola ever wears a Spurs uniform remains to be seen. The Spurs will assess their needs this summer, as well as what type of contract Scola is seeking, before deciding whether they would be better off trading his rights
Scola是否已经成为马刺的一员依然未知.这个夏天马刺会权衡自己的需求,也会考虑Scola对合同的要求.当然也有可能把他的球员优先签约权交易出去.

Scola, 26, remains one of Europe's top players. A 6-foot-9 power forward, he again helped lead Tau to the Euroleague Final Four while averaging 14.7 points and 6.6 rebounds.
26岁的Scola现在依然是欧洲顶级球员.他是一个身高达6英尺9英寸的前锋,今年又一次带领Tau进入欧洲联赛的四强,他平均每场得14.7分,拿6.6个篮板.

The Spurs will end the season with 10 players under contract, including center Rasho Nesterovic and forwards Robert Horry and Fabricio Oberto. They also could try to re-sign center Nazr Mohammed.
这个赛季结束后,马刺有10个人合同在身,包括中锋Rasho Nesterovic和前锋Robert Horry,Fabricio Oberto.当然,他们也有可能试着去续约中锋Nazr Mohammed.

If the Spurs decide to trade Scola's rights, 6-10 Lithuanian forward Robertas Javtokas could be a more affordable option.
如果马刺决定将Scola的优先签约权交易出去,那么6英尺10英寸的立陶宛前锋Robertas Javtokas将会是另外一个选择.

The Spurs drafted Javtokas in the second round in 2001. He severely injured his right leg and right shoulder in a motorcycle crash the next summer, but has recovered well enough that some scouts think he could be a productive rotation player in the NBA.
马刺在01年的选秀第二轮挑中了他.结果他在02年夏天出了车祸伤及右腿和右肩.但他现在恢复的不错,一些球探表示他会是个不错的角色球员.

Javtokas, 26, averaged 9.6 points and 8.2 rebounds for Lietuvos Rytas in Euroleague play. His contract with the team expires at the end of the season, so he won't have to pay a buyout.
Javtokas,26岁,效力于欧洲联赛的Lietuvos Rytas.他平均每场有9.6分,拿8.2个篮板.他的合同将会在赛季结束后到期,所以他不需要支付买断金.

The Spurs like how his defense has improved.
马刺很欣慰他在防守方面的进步.

"We've been very pleased with the progress Robertas has shown," Presti said.
"对于Robertas的进步,我们一直很高兴他能够这样."Presti说.

Ian Mahinmi, last season's first-round pick who isn't expected to be NBA ready for at least another year, will play for the Spurs' summer-league team in Utah unless France selects him for its national team. Viktor Sanikidze, a 2004 second-round pick, also is expected to play in the summer league.
Ian Mahinmi是这个赛季选秀第一轮被马刺选中的.他至少要再等待一年才有可能进入NBA.不过,如果他不被法国国家队招入的话,会来马刺夏季训练营打球(尤他洲).04年第二轮选中的Viktor Sanikidze也会来的.

Playing against a mirror: With Mavericks coach Avery Johnson having built Dallas' defensive system on some of the same principles Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has used for years, the Spurs have learned how difficult it is to score on themselves.
影子:小牛主教练Avery Johnson应用于小牛队防守体系的原理和马刺出自一家.-Popovich已经用了好几年了.现在马刺已经领教到面对这个体系得分是多么困难.

"It's like Superman vs. Bizarro Superman," Brent Barry said Saturday morning. "That's what I liken it to. Up is down. Down is up. Left is right.
"这就象超人和自己对战,"周六上午Brent Barry就已经说过了."我很喜欢这样,上面是下面,下面是上面,左面嘛,就是右边."

"Bizarro Superman has a backward 'S' and talks backwards. He sounds a lot like Beno (Udrih): 'Good day you have?' Things like that."
"影子超人背后有一个'S',他喜欢背对人说话.声音有点象Beno(Beno Udrih):'嘿,今天不错吧?',差不多就是那样."

Diamond back from rough: After his wife lost her wedding ring earlier this week, Dallas guard Darrell Armstrong was prepared to replace the diamond for Mother's Day.
失而复得:这周早些时候,达拉斯后卫Darrell Armstrong老婆的结婚戒指给弄掉了.Darrell打算在这个母亲节重新送一个.

Then a good-hearted Mavericks fan gave him a surprise and saved him a chunk of cash. University Park resident Sally Davis found the ring outside a pharmacy on Monday, and left her name and number at the store.
结果,一个好心的小牛球迷给了他一个惊喜-这也让他省了不少银子.公园大学的一个教工Sally Davis在药房外边拣到了戒指后,去那个药店(说了下情况)留了个联系方式.

When Deidra Armstrong called about the ring, the two women were put in touch, and Davis returned it. Darrell Armstrong, who gave Davis tickets to Saturday's game and a signed jersey for her son, said he and his wife were overwhelmed by the generosity.
Deidra Armstrong拨通了她的电话.随后Davis把戒指还了回来.Darrell Armstrong知道后,给Davis送了几张周六比赛的球票,还送了她儿子一身签名球衣,说他和他老婆因Davis的大度感动的都要哭了.

"I'm happy to see that there are good Samaritans around, there are good people around," Armstrong said. "You see so much negativity on the news. When you see something good like that, you sure appreciate it."
"知道周围有这么多好人,我真很感动,"Armstrong说,"新闻上有那么多负面报道,当你看到象那样的美好事物时,你肯定会感激不已."

Armstrong said it also put his wife's mind at ease.
Armstrong说这也让他老婆心里轻松不少.

"She was so upset, she didn't want to tell me until I got home (from San Antonio)," Armstrong said
"她太失落了,甚至我(从圣安东尼奥)回家的时候她都不想告诉我."Armstrong说道.
