The popular tendency is to think Luis Scola should be discarded like an overripe banana, that a 35-year-old power forward is too far past his prime to be signed to another contract.
The problem with that logical viewpoint is that Scola defies logic, not to mention the fact the Pacers have history with a player who performed well beyond the age of 35.
