Rockets considering amnestying Luis Scola to make room for Howard

[hawkfan]

Trade Scola to Charlotte for Matt Carroll (expirer).

the Rockets will NOT amnesty Scola!
I know this because all the smart posters here on ISH told me that Scola is such a great performer and his contract is not that bad.

[All Net]

Only if they do infact have a deal in place

[Clove21]

So Houston basically wants to swap franchise positions with Orlando?

Fast-forward to the end of the season: Dwight walks as a free agent and they remain stuck with the bad contracts they took from Orlando

or

Fast-forward to trade deadline: Houston gets lowballed by the Nets because they know they have to trade Dwight by the deadline or end up with nothing at the end of the season.

Which is true. But

[QUOTE=NumberSix]Yeah, and I'm kicking my girl out to make sure there's room for Beyonc

I would be shocked if Scola got amnestied, but to all the people saying he "deserves" to be on a contender:

If they amnesty him the lottery teams get the first chance to claim him of waivers. No chance in hell he doesn't get picked up by any of them.

Scola is a damn good player, and a steal at 3 years/21 million.

THIS!!

And, they would be taking Dwight away from Orlando and trying to talk him into staying by putting the same players around him that have netted nada, nil, zero titles in Orlando!

Houston has decided to use the amnesty provision on Luis Scola and will likely file with NBA on Friday, league sources tell Y! Sports.

Shocking
