    Does not compute with Pau's demeanor. He is not very aggressive.

    if you can give up basically chriss to get gasol, that's the only way it would make sense. Other than that no thanks

    CP3 / Rivers
    Harden / Gordon
    Tucker / Green
    Gasol / Faried
    Capela / Nene

    Pretty solid team, but I don't know if Gasol can defend the Curry/Lillard/Mitchell type players, when he inevitably gets switched onto them.

    Melo, Dwight, Nene... Morey always gets his man, even if his man is on a walker and can't dunk anymore.

    Spurs are probably looking to dump his contract, next season his contract is guaranteed for 7M and they probably want to go after someone (maybe the other Gasol lol) in free agency.

    Na dog, the other Gasol is fading at a crazy rate too.

    Not sure about "at crazy rate", but he's definitely old...regardless, to me he remains a player you can see end up in San Antonio, even though Aldridge is basically playing the center for more than a year at this point so...

    Pau has a difficult time switching directions, much less switching men on defense.

    LMAO you haven't watched Pau play lately, have you?? Him beating out Hartenstein would be up for debate at this point let alone starting.
