    if you have the info there's a reason for it....as it stands here it's all speculation...nobody knows the contractual or financial specifics or what players will be moved...we just know how much Gasol gets and how old he is...everything else at this point is fill in the blanks

    I don't even come close to reading all the threads or posts here....so if you've already discussed it...it wasn't with me and I sure missed it. Read it on another site today for the first time

    He'd be a great edition to the bench - but he is 34, and if he gives up Zach for this....

    I'm totally sure Gasol would love to go to a team where he'll play 18 minutes a game coming off the bench. That sounds thrilling!

    where does the 18 minute limit kick in? he's not Zach, Caleb or Meyers.....Nurk picks up fouls in groups....I don't see that court time is as important as production during time on the court...we need paint scoring beyond Nurk and Jake

    Here’s what I don’t understand.

    We’ve heard for years now that Olshey desires to get that “third star” to go with Dame and CJ. The reality is, we don’t have the assets to land one, and we really haven’t had them in years.

    Lottery pick(s)? Negative

    Cap space? Nope

    Big expirings? Naw

    Young assets? Not really

    So instead of wasting everyone’s time, why doesn’t he just focus on players that ARE obtainable, and could actually help? If we compiled a list of all the realistic suggestions people on this board have made the last two years, that would’ve improved the roster, we’d have a good laugh.

    We need more talent. We need more balance. We don’t need to acquire a superstar to accomplish either.

    What I’m trying to say is get NIKOLA MIROTIC.

    It'd make sense if it were part of a bigger deal -- ie CJ/Nurk/+ for Davis.

    ETuan Moore is being “rested” tonight as well lol. So that’s Mirotic, Randle, Payton, and Moore all out. They can stop pretending now.

    I stated earlier before the Gasol rumor happened that acquiring Mirotic and Randle would be a serious upgrade for say...Meyers and ET or Meyers and Mo....Randle has really impressed me this season

    @BonesJones and I will be suiting up for the Grizzlies tonight since they are down to about 6 players.

    This Marc Gasol makes no sense to me unless..

    Remember when we got Nurk from Denver. Everything we were aggressive for Okfor that year and we got Nurk instead. It looks like smoke screens by Olshey. If we trade it be someone that we don't no nothing about.
