From a different article in February:

“’Obviously that’s not my natural position,’ he [West] said after his 17 point, 10 rebound performance.

‘Naw, no, no, no, no, no,’ he said when asked if he’d like to play center again. ‘It’s not something I hope continues.’”

Does that settle the “fake article” thing?

To many ifs in that situation. Team wise time will tell.

West didn’t say anything about disliking playing the 5. First a sports reporter writes a false article claiming that West isn’t happy with the small lineup, then Dimemag writes another false article about the other guy’s false article. Nice one Dime, keep up the crack investigative journalism work.

The only thing West said is, “Coach is going to go with the guys that want to be productive and play hard.” How the fuck to you come to the conclusion that West hates playing center from that?

T-Mac couldnt even make the All-Star team last year.. so Scola def. can’t. Furthermore..West gets more opportunities to shine.. because he has CP3.
But agreed. West is a better player..
but at the P.F and Center positions.. I prefer Landry and Scola over Posey and West

@ Austin

I agree man. Scola is a great player, no doubt would be better in N.O. But West has been an all-star 2 years, and with TMac injured Scola could have really taken over some of the offense.

And @ Ian, how are you gonna say you would take Scola over West for a game winner? That’s about as smart as hiring Isiah Thomas as a coach or something.

Scola is still pretty good though, but I just think West is the better player.

Austin – at the same time… if Scola would be much better if he played off of CP3. Honestly.. who does have an offensive game other than CP3 in N.O?

West has some moves but he basically feeds off Paul. Pick and Rolls, Pick and Pops… and Chandler can catch alleys all day. So who’s to say.. playing with Paul.. Scola can’t put up big numbers.. as said before.. unlike West.. he would bust his ass off for every play.. I rather heart than just talent any day.
… Scola wouldn’t complain about playin the 3, 4 or 5!.. Sure enough he would hard every second he is on the floor.

@Ian — Nah, I don’t see it. Scola couldn’t put up 37 against Duncan in the playoffs. He’s a better rebounder than West and a great little-things guy, but he’s not as polished offensively.
