It's really unfortunate that a player as terrible as Scal will be kept on our roster because of his contract. Miles is coming off of what was supposed to be career-ending knee surgery, and he still moves better than Scal and jumps higher. Frankly, I don't understand why the contract issue is even important. Scal will get his money either way, will not help the team either way, and is literally untradeable. There is not a team in this league that would take Scal as part of a deal unless he came along with Kevin Garnett. He has NEGATIVE value. He brings the worth of our trades DOWN. Scal and BBD for, I don't know, Hakeem Warrick, is something I can see being done because of this equation:
BBD + (-Scal) = Warrick
Scal doesn't belong in the NBA. I don't have a problem with him being in it, though, unless it impedes someone who DOES deserve the chance to be in the league from joining a team. Darius Miles functioning at 50% of his previous capacity is a better player than Scal. Someone please explain to me why money that will be paid to Scal either way should be the reason we keep him around. I'm at a loss.
