    Gasol backup to Nurk make sense. But how much are we going to give up for a 34 year old that's not in his prime and right now very over paid.

    $24,000,000+ for a backup center. Not a needle mover Neil.

    It's not our money....Vulcan's can probably write off the teams whole tax liability...billionaires profit from losing money all the time...

    Leonard and Harkless maybe draft pick will do it for Gasol. Of course this also might be a 3 team trade also.

    Could Gasol and Nurk play together?

    said the person who wasn't even a millionaire....

    This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer talks about 'they write it off' and he has no idea what it means.

    That would cost Portland a lot in additional Lux Tax money

    who would that be? it very well could be that some TV guy doesn't know what a tax write off is......I've seen one episode of Seinfield...the one about the overdue Henry Miller library book...Paul Allen probably spent more on toys than on a luxury tax ....I think the tax fear is fan based more than franchise based....and sure...I could be wrong...they might be real stingy folks....seems to me if I wanted to sell a team I'd go all out to make it look like the best team I could up to the sale

    I need to know what the offer was before I can offer an opinion.

    Unless it’s for Turner, Meyers and a pick I don’t see the point of this move. He’s still a good player when healthy but should not be playing ahead of Nurkic and probably cannot play with Nurkic.

    Only way this makes any sense to me is if we have a deal in place for Nurkic.
