LAS VEGAS -- The Brooklyn Nets added some veteran leadership to the mix Tuesday, reaching a one-year contract agreement with forward Luis Scola, a source confirmed.Ive known Luis since my days with the Rockets, and hes not going to talk a whole heck of a lot but hes going to lead with his work ethic and how he gets after it, Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said. I like how Luis has started to spread the floor, and hes just the ultimate competitor, the ultimate warrior. Hes 36, but hes been healthy his whole career because of how well he prepares and how well he takes care of himself. Were excited about having him.Scola started 76 games for the Toronto Raptors last season, averaging 8.7 points and shooting 40.4 percent from 3-point range. But he struggled in the playoffs, averaging just 2.5 points on 19 percent shooting from beyond the arc as he moved in and out of the rotation.The rebuilding Nets have added Scola, Jeremy Lin, Trevor Booker, Justin Hamilton and Greivis Vasquez this offseason, although Portland and Miami matched their offer sheets to restricted free agents Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson.Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks Plan B seems to be adding players on short contracts to maintain salary-cap flexibility moving forward.Scola is the oldest player on Brooklyns roster by seven years. Vasquez is 29.The agreement was earlier reported by The Vertical.Scola figures to battle for the starting power forward spot with Trevor Booker, who signed a two-year, $18 million deal with Brooklyn.I think were going to let it play out, Atkinson said. I know those guys wouldnt want it any other way. I think theyre two competitors, they understand the NBA and theyre going to battle it out and compete for the spot.Booker, who briefly watched the Nets summer league game on Tuesday, explained why he chose Brooklyn.It was a great opportunity for me, Booker said. With Sean coming in place, theyve got Jeremy Lin, Brook Lopez down low, I thought it was a great opportunity for me. Sean came from the Spurs organization, which is the top organization in the NBA, and Ive known him for a little while now and I know hes a very smart guy and I believe in the direction that hes going to take the organization.Asked about potentially starting, Booker responded, Its not going to be given to me. Im going to go in with the mindset that I want it, so well see.Booker, 28, said he plans to bring hard work and leadership to the Nets.Thats whats kept me in the league so far, and I look to bring the same thing here, he said. Atkinson said hed like second-year pro Chris McCullough to push the veteran power forwards as well. He likes the diversity and skill sets at the positions.Sam Mills Womens Jersey . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Deulofeu injured a muscle in his right leg in Evertons 4-1 win over Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday. Barcelona says that its team doctors will "co-ordinate" with Evertons medical staff as Deulofeu recovers.Louis van Gaal is thankful for Sir Alex Fergusons support but remains well aware that failing to finish the season with a flourish will put his Manchester United future in jeopardy.This has been yet another frustrating campaign for the 20-time league champions, with inconsistent displays meaning Champions League qualification and FA Cup success is the best they can hope for.It is a far cry from the successes enjoyed during Fergusons tenure, but the former United boss this week defended the Dutchman and urged fans to be patient. Van Gaal was thankful for that support, along with remarkable backing from the likes of Sir Bobby Charlton, executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, managing director Richard Arnold and director David Gill.He knows that support can only go so far, though, and is aware his position will come under further scrutiny if they fail to finish in the top four.I cannot say [I will be here if we fail to make the top four] because I think the board has to evaluate after the results of this year what they have to do, the United boss said.I think that is normal and I cannot predict that when I do not know the facts.First you have to see the facts, I have always said that. The results and also the titles or the Champions League positions, you can only say at the May 15 yes, it is like that or like that. Louis van Gaal has set his sights on a top three Premier League finish Then you have to evaluate the circumstances how I had to work in the season. An example of that is in the [Sky Sports] interview of Sir Alex.I am a rational person. I know that a manager of Manchester United has to win something, but I am still working on that.Van Gaal says every match counts now for United, who welcome Everton to Old Trafford in a Super Sunday clash buoyed by their victory at rivals Manchester City before the international break. There was late drama when Man Utd played Everton in 2012 United are sixth in the standings, just a point off fourth-placed City, and with an FA Cup quarter-final replay at West Ham to come on April 13.ddddddddddddAsked if he would be surprised to lose his job if United fail to make the top four, Van Gaal added: I cannot say that because I do not know the next eight matches. Jamie Redknapp gives his thoughts ahead of Super Sunday You can only evaluate when you have the total facts and now I cannot say that and my board cannot say that either because we have to play matches still.Also we have to play against West Ham United, then Everton and then the final.Van Gaal also responded to comments by former player Angel Di Maria that he was unable to settle at Old Trafford due to being played out of position. Van Gaal was not impressed with comments made by Angel Di Maria I have never seen [many] players who looks at himself, who looks to the way they have performed here and that is always the fault of the manager, said Van Gaal.So he is one of the players who are in the row of players who have no self-criticism and, unfortunately, it is also my life as a manager. It is always like that.Watch Manchester United v Everton on Super Sunday.
