This. Because a 31 year old PF who avgs 18 and 9 and vanishes in the playoffs is NOT "one of the best players in the NBA."
Stats-geeks forget about the surrounding cast of characters. Nene got a lot of easy buckets in Denver, when it goes from that to a low post game...
Be much happier with Marc Gasol, when he goes beast mode he can make a difference in the middle. Not so flashy but rarely disappears from a game.
Guys, Gasol averaged 18pts and 9reb last year. And his defense is suspect. See the playoffs for reference. He's a good player and all but damn...
By that logic LA, with Bynum, Odom, and Kobe, would never get rid of Gasol. Bynum when healthy is better than Nene.
For anther thread maybe, but don't agree. Each top 10, absolutely. But neither is a goto guy. Neither is a foundation to build a team around....
Gasol is 31, let's face it regardless what anyone thinks of him his best years are probably behind him. Nene has a history of injuries....
Poll is still 2:1 against. Ppl may be sweeting on the deal out of faith more moves are coming through, but I don't see it. This trade scares...
So agree. Rockets are giving up their best 2 scoring options and best bench spark, AND a pick for Gasol. WTF is going on here. I cannot...
Really? A subpar defensive team with no goto player. I like the Morris pick but he is a rook who has questions on whether he can even play the...
100% Disagree Pau Gasol is not a top 15 player. Not now, and certainly not in the future. He played with Kobe and a full roster of talent...
Bump.
Gold.
He's a star, just not a superstar. He just can't create his own shots like the best. But I didn't see Rip Hamilton create his own looks when...
Because he would cause so much movement on this team. Lol, can anyone imagine Kevin Martin in a JVG iso offense. Enough with the rose colored...
Not sure the Wallace would have happened, but def. agree about Perkins. Unless Ainge has some kind of hardon for Jeff Green, Perkins was out...
So how about when AB almost single handily took down the Lakers? I am excited about the picks, which were the key parts of these deals. But to...
HIRE him please. No love for the Jazz but Sloan can flat out coach.
Still remember when it was commented that the Rockets were a great regular season team but not built for the playoffs. It's because they...
Got to make a trade. AB may have forced the issue, but too many roll players vying for playing time on non-playoff team doesn't do the Rockets...
