Scola Pondered Returning To Spain

Jul 16, 2010 11:54 AM

Luis Scola didn't anticipate all the waiting involved in free agency and admitted that he thought about weighing offers to return to Spain.

"I almost died," Scola said. "It was so stressful. If I didn't die of a heart attack this week, I think I'll never die. I never was a free agent before. I thought it would be less complicated.

"There were a couple days I didn't think it would work out. Waiting for an offer was really stressful. A couple times, I thought it wouldn't be the way I wanted. I would do what I had to do. I'm a professional. If I had to move, I would have moved. Sometimes that is not up to you. But it would be really hard to play for another team in the NBA not the Rockets."

Leading up to Thursday, when he reached a multiyear deal with Houston, Scola was so worried that he was warming to the idea of playing in Spain.

"I feel great. I feel great," Scola said. "I going to be the place I wanted to be. I'm so happy."
