    Kristina and Karissa are sweet girls, but I gotta work on my cardio before attempting anything like that.

    Hurtful, but not entirely unfair

    Few hrs after processing this, still not getting the point. This is a really expensive signing for guy who cannot play anymore. A similar signing coulda been made in March. Confused about what Neil is doing-- can anyone spin this for me?

    A mentor for Zach maybe? That's my guess. It feels like when the team got Chris Kaman. In spot minutes he can do ok, but don't expect much...but really just as a vet for the younger players to lean on (Zach, Anfernee, Nasir, Skai).

    Kaman could play tho. Gasol is one ankle turn away from the end of his career.

    Smart players can hang in this league.

    Kaman had a decent 1st year in Portland, but his 2nd year it was obviously more as an assistant coach role.

    Gasol is just 1 season away from averaging 10 points and 8 boards in 24 minutes. That's not to say last season was an aberration. He might be in the Caldwell Jones playing for Portland stage of his career. But as I said, I think he's more of a mentor role than anything. I'm not too worried about him averaging more than 8 minutes a night for about 55 games this year. If he can help Zach expand his game (modeling it after Gasol would be smart, imho), all the better.

    He will contribute WAAAAY more than Tolliver. That’s not saying much, but I’ll be glad to see Pau on the court over Anthony.
