Do you think signing Marc Gasol to 4-years, $55M is a good deal for the Rockets?

    Bud, PPat and the 1st round draft pick? Negative. That is too much.

    I don't see them signing Dalembert. Morey will take his chances next year with cap space.

    CP3 Williams and Howard will not sign extensions. They will make more money if they just wait to sign new contracts.

    Not saying we have a chance with them but Morey will leave the cap space open, "just in case".

    4/55 is better than 5/60 if you think you can get more than 5 mil in the 5th yr as a FA.

    LOL - we are all so jumpy these days, but once you think about this you would realize it was never going to happen.

    Seeing as how he hasnt accepted Grizzlies max offer, I think there is some hope he doesn't want to be there.

    Morey isn't going to amnesty Thabeet and present the offer sheet if he knows Hesily will just match.

    Stern killed the most realistic plan and now Morey can only gamble on RFAs. It not good news.

    The only way Gasol is not here is if he or agent force that issue and team relents. It's not about matching or not matching an offer.

    There was no reason to sign Randolph to the extension if you don't re-sign Gasol. It will have been completely pointless.


    FlyerGrizBlog Chris Herrington
    But: If Griz have topped outside max and no deal yet, I do see that as a cause for at least some concern.


    FlyerGrizBlog Chris Herrington
    Best guess is that Gasol's agent is using leverage of unrestricted next summer to try to force true max offer.

    Why is his max 12 million?

    I wish we could just throw a 14-17 at him and see what Memphis does...

    Maybe Morey and the Grizz GM have a handshake deal? I.e. if you get Gasol to sign with you, we will match and give you more "assets"

    It would be great to have Gasol. But I cannot see Grizz giving it up. With gasol and randolph they are serious in the paintand would fall apart without gasol.

    Ok, so I have my rules mixed up I think. But if they signed and matched a 4 year deal, they could trade him to us?

    Yeah, you`re right. Just like a 5th round rookie won`t lead the Texans on two game winning drives on his first two starts and get the team to it`s first franchise playoff appearance ;)

    Don`t stop believing. Morey, work your Magic.

    Why would he? Memphis had a good season last year, right?

    Well all Morey has to do is go to Les with his hands up in the air and say," what else could I do?"

    Once Les sees there are no ore options then he should be able to sell himself into thinking Morey did everything he could.

    It certainly would help their bench, give them young developing cheap players, and solve their cap issues. But you are right. I just could not bring myself to add Lee to the list.

    Gasol and DMo in 2012 -2013!!!
