Re: Lakers and Gasol Nearing an Extension - emplay How we can sign both to max deals will surely amaze me. The NBA, where "ill pay whatever it takes to win" happens.
Re: Lakers and Gasol Nearing an Extension - emplay They're both getting paid basically max as it already is. A couple million won't make a difference for Buss.
Re: Lakers and Gasol Nearing an Extension - emplay As long as we keep winning, Dr. Buss and co. won't care how much they're shelling out. If they keep the core together, we've got a good shot at winning at least 2 or 3 more titles.
Re: Lakers and Gasol Nearing an Extension - emplay I don't know why you're concerned with the $$$ being paid. It isn't your fucking money, so why does it matter? If Buss wants to give him the max, along with Kobe, give them the fucking max. They both deserve it and neither should take a pay cut.
Re: Lakers and Gasol Nearing an Extension - emplay buss is a great business man, you must spend money to make money and thats what hes doing, plus he loves this team and this organization, also the lakers are the most profitable team, and no matter how much buss pays he'll always be able to make money.
Re: Lakers and Gasol Nearing an Extension - emplay By the time Pau's contract extension kicks in, all of our shitty contracts will be off the books anyways.
Re: Lakers and Gasol Nearing an Extension - emplay This is why I love the Laker ownership. They are willing to spend and keep a winning product on the court.
Update: Gasol Agrees in Principal, Kobe Next http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-lakers-fyi19-2009dec19,0,663348.story
This is sweet. Once Pau makes it official and Kobe gets his contract, our core of Pau/Kobe/Drew/Ron/LO will be locked up for years to come. Our shitty contracts like Morrison, Fish (overpayed for production) and Sasha are all gone within the next year or two.
