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

    Be surprised if Memphis didn't match Rockets offer sheet to Marc Gasol. Grizz have put word out they intend to match pretty much anything

    He gets into "debates." It happens a lot, which is why he's an institution around here. Love him or hate him. Wrong or... right?

    Me thinks the Grizzlies may be bluffing about matching anything. Has this thought crossed your minds yet?

    The best leverage we have would be for Marc Gasol to threaten to go the Eddy Curry route and eat his ass out of the league if Grizz match.

    Forward? He's a center.

    And the Rockets didn't have two Pau Gasol trades struck down by the NBA - just the first one.

    Reporter fail.

    So has he signed the offer sheet yet? I am confused. Thabeet is not waived yet. But all signs are pointing to Marc wants to leave Memphis IMO. Morey is a smart guy; he must have a plan in the work......

    I doubt it, it would be a giant blow to their roster and future to lose out on a young center esp to the Rockets. What's their financial situation like?

    They will match the offer no doubt. How would they look if they didn't when they said they would all along. If he can't get him in a SnT then we are back to square 1...

    I wouldn't get my hopes up over this. If Memphis let Gasol walk, it would crush what little bit of fan support they've been able to revive.

    Getting Marc is probably the move we should have been pursuing all along.

    I seriously hope we get this guy!

    If Thabeet is forced to start, he will become a respectable center then. Of course he will have some troubles at first, but, with 66 games( or less ), he will eventually catch on and start to play up to starting standards.
