Pau Gasol

Bill Simmons gives his take on Pau Gasol

Great question. It was reported weeks ago--I thought--by a credible reporter.

But now I see it was also, OH SNAP, Chris Broussard!

Ughhh go away, Chris Broussard.

 

No thanks, I'll pass.

 

Chris Broussard

 

Ahh...the Onion

 

MWUAHAHA.

So now stop deluding yourself.

Morey is smarter than most of you guys.

If he is no longer interested, then that's the end of the story.

We are going for young, talented, and high ceiling guys.

Now we can close this thread.

^He will be our Gasol^

 

I would do anything not to get Gasol. I don't like his game, I don't like his beard, I don't like his accent, I don't like his wimpy frame and play. He's not anything speacial but somone who is tall that can shoot and can pass, but who wants your PF passing the ball to everyone. That's what the PG is their for.

 

Clearly, you've never heard about Chris Broussard.

 

Here they go again. Of course, it's only one opinion from the media. After the game in LA, Kobe stated that he liked Lin's decision making.

I have a hard time imagining the Lakers paying $8mil for a backup pg, unless they think Nash will have to pay limited minutes.

I also can't imagine Morey trading Parsons away. Maybe Patterson, but Parsons?

 

Gasol $19 mil vs Parsons $888,250. and Lin $8,374,646.

LAL has Duhon, Blake, Morris & Nash at PG position.

Don't believe it will happen.

 

They just took the suggestion from ESPN and copied it, nothing new.

 

"could LA trade for Lin?" = clicks generator for ESPN
they were bound to run with it without much thought.

 

I think Pau will be traded.

When it said Parson is a stretch 4 shows?

 

Pau+Blake+Morris, but still i dont think Rockets will do it even for Lin+PPat, let alone Parsons.

 

Darren Wolfson: #Twolves source: Rubio angling to play tomorrow. Still a better chance because his conditioning isn't 100% that we're a week away from that. Twitter @DarrenWolfson

Because the Wolves continue to be interested -- they have been since the 2011 draft -- and they will be until the Lakers finally trade Gasol someplace. The lastest rumors came here on ESPN.com on Thursday in a piece that said the Lakers continue to turn away Toronto and the Wolves with their trade inquiries, at least until Lakers brass has time to assess their team when Steve Nash comes back from his leg injury.

Don't count Houston out, either, since the Rockets traded for Gasol once before and have been interested as long or almost as long as the Wolves have. I don't believe the latest speculation that the Rockets are no longer interested. David Kahn chased Gasol three months before he hired Rick Adelman, although who knows what kind of discussion they had by then concerning the team's coaching job and is any such conversations might have included personnel talk such as acquiring Gasol.
