    He's always been a guy who I felt has a far greater impact for his team than his simple stats or eye test indicate. The way he commands the team defense, the way he communicates on offense, dives for loose balls, sets screens while being a scorer with range, good rebounder and excellent passet. He's essentially a more offensively gifted younger version of Bogut.

    Gasol isn't a stats guy. He boxes out and does the dirty work, he's the opposite of westbrook.

    lol i bet he's one of those that wants cousins and thinks hes a superstar. A guy that just can't win despite filling up the box scores that people are so easily fooled by. Even with guys out Gasol is proving he can impact winning positively. Just take a look at the roster he has been playing with. Pretty impressive

    He's always seemed like a Spurs kind of guy. I could see him go there.
