    I take back being ho-hum on Marc Gasol.

    Dude is playing at an MVP level.

    What I can tell you is Olshey will have his work cut out for himself. We will see what he's really made of this summer

    If we somehow added Gasol this summer, I think we would be the best team in the league.

    How do you suppose we get him? Robin Lopez and Nic Batum for Marc Gasol and Tony Allen? Oh thats right he's a free agent so he would be 3rd string.

    He's a free agent this summer?

    You edited your original post. I was saying he's a free agent. If we signed him, rolo would be gone.

    I'd be ok with it but I'm sure there would be some that might frown upon that.

    I'm interested in the cap rosterbation that would have to occur to get Gasol while only giving up RoLo.

    I agree..

    Gasol is such a fucking pipe dream. Are we going to go Houston and fuck up our team on a gamble like that?! I would much rather bring in the same players and look to trade for other players if that's the route Olshey is going at.

    Keep the sure bet with decent contracts, then trade if a deal you can't pass up presents itself.

    I never said only Rolo. Bgd said Gasol would be third string and I said Rolo would be gone in that scenario. Most likely it would be rolo, Wes, and a few bench guys.

    Crabbe would take the starting SG spot?

    While Gasol is a free agent, or after he signs this summer?

    Even with Gasol going as a free agent? That's quite the gamble don't you think?

    Rolo is a free agent as well. The gamble is high stakes but it could get us a title.

    You'd expect people non Portland fans to underrate Nic's value and impact. You'd think they'd look past the stats.

    Sadly, it's not the case.

    This.

    Gasol is the same age as LMA and in his early prime.

    You can make a nice long run with LMA/Gasol/Lillard/Matthews as the core.
