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

    Is that right?

    If you are correct than I think we have zero chance here.

    If we don't get Gasol, I am done being a Rockets fan. Goodbye everyone. We had some laughs and good times... but now it's time to leave.

    Given that Gasol's "max" starts at 12 mil, how could Memphis NOT match? At the very least, Memphis can get a boatload of assets just by sign and trading him. If Gasol was a true FA he'd be getting Nene money right now from someone.

    The Rockets don't have the money to compete with NJ on Nene. Since Dwight Howard would be a trade, they can max out their salary with Nene first before trading for Dwight. So that's not an issue.

    Dalembert! Here we come! I think I'm going to cry in the corner. :(

    That is an ESPN editor, I hope our FO knows what they are doing. I hate to amnesty our only C and end up with Dalembert.

    If we get Gasol in a Sign & Trade deal, is it possible to get both M. Gasol AND Nene? I guess it depends what moves in the trade.

    Nets have obviously been pushing hard to complete trade for Dwight, but if DH12 winds up with Lakers instead then NJN surely turn to Brazil

    To be honest i think dwight might wanna go to "LAKERS" of course...L.A...kobe...that being said we end up with nothing unless morey hurry up and make them back out and etc.

    The Grizzlies are expected to match the four-year, $55 million offer sheet that Marc Gasol has agreed to with the Rockets.

    Gasol is a restricted free agent and Memphis would have three days to match.

    At least we gave it a shot. Memphis was surely going to match.

    Max offer sheet is around 12M, if I remember correctly. I consider him the best center available this year, even better than Nene considering he's several years younger.

    Anyway if we can get him in a SnT I wouldn't mind trading anyone on the team. This kid can ball.

    All I want for X-mas is a real center that can survive a full season. If we get this guy I would be so happy.
