Morey -- acquire an actual center like Marc Gasol or Enes Kanter !!

Don't get your hopes up. We only have assets for a Jordan Hamilton type move.

 

I think they need Cp3, we may get his Conley and Gasol together, I don't think it can beat worriers

 

Should have given Bruno a chance.

 

Something tells me Gasol will fetch a lot more than some are thinking. I don't think he is washed at all, just unmotivated; something that seems to run in the family.

I doubt we can land him unless we give a significant piece (such as Capela), but if we could (or would), just like Nene was a great fit before age and injuries impalled him, Gasol would do great in this system. He's a great defender, rebounder and can hit from the outside, which means we will have 5 shooters on the court...and he will get a lot open looks...

Now Kanter, ugh, no way.

 

They cost more than you think. Teams don't just straight up salary dump their starters. Maybe if we were the only other team in the league we'd have a chance. They want young players or valuable picks and we have neither. In another thread I listed every player taken 20-30 in the last 3 years and only 3 were rotation players so our picks aren't really worth much.

 

Did this dude just say acquire Enes Kanter? Lol, c’mon man, really?

We need wing depth, and that’s where the rest of our assets should be going towards. How are u gonna waste them on Gasol when u have Capela coming back in a few weeks? Harden can keep us afloat until he returns.

 

I would take Gasol for Knight, Chriss, Ennis, and would probably throw in some pick as well.

Gasol is not very athletic, but he can still rebound and actually shoot threes.

 

Put yourself in the shoes of a Grizzlies fan. How soon after that trade happens are you reviving(you probably already have one) your "Fire Chris Wallace" online petition?

 

Yep, after a buyout.

 

For a 10 day contract, he would have been all right. He is improving slowly, but he has a long way to go.

 

It looks like he has traveled around the world a bit too much.

 

@OP

 

Stop Trolling.

 

Did you just prop Gilbert from going all in and then crap on Tillman for doing the same thing with Paul.

STOP TROLLING!

 

"Capela coming back in a few weeks"?

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeey*************t. I wish.

A 4/5 taller than 6'8" would be nice. Gasol, though, is too expensive and a starter in his own right, so yeah, he isn't on our radar.

 

Gasol has more value if he is willing to pick up his option, otherwise he is just a rental.

The Rockets are not in a bad situation because Paul was resigned, he is the key to getting far in the playoffs and is still an elite level player when he is playing. Further, the Rockets were not going to have any cap space with or without Paul.

How do you plan on getting enough salary to take on Gasol's $23,000,000 in a trade. Are you trading Capela, Harden or Paul? Because I know you aren't dumb enough to think that Brandon Knight and two #1's is going to get you Gasol..... especially for a team like the Grizz, that is trying to shave future salary obligations.

So what does that leave you with? Knight and three #1's? That is what the Rockets offered for Butler. Do you really think the Rockets will do that for a 34 year old center that can be a free agent?

Defensively, do you think that Gasol can guard on the perimeter? Do you plan on turning Gasol into a 3 point shooter? Do you really think the Rockets would give him post touches?

I tried this trade just for fun... Could be a really interesting lineup with Marc and OPJ... (I know it's not plausible!)

 

How does that make this team better?

Do you think Gasol is a upgrade to Capela?
