    does it seem pretty obvious that Olshey is holding a competition among veterans for the 14th roster spot?

    Smith, Chriss, and Patterson all on training camp deals. I'd bet Portland would sign Hartenstein and Ennis to the same deals if they were willing, although at some point, that's too many players to take a look at

    Just not a fan of him as a human. I truly hope he doesn't make the team...

    makes sense for both teams I guess

    so that would mean Gasol is retiring at 36? I would assume, if any team could make him decide to play it would be Memphis

    I think Pau is playing in Spain. I wonder if they want to finish their careers together over there.

    could be. Pau is playing for FC Barcelona. I think the Gasol family is from around Barcelona. Tough life living in Spain in a city on the Mediterranean. I'd hate it because I hate cities. But if you like the metro life and lots of sunny days, Barcelona looks to be optimal

    Makes sense, I didn't see how Gasol, Dwight, DeAndre and sometimes AD sliding to center could work out minute wise.

    Wang should fit right in with the other wangs on the Lakers’ roster.

    Gasol trying to be the Kanter (POR-BOS-POR-BOS) of LAL-MEM-LAL-MEM.

    Why in the world does Memphis do that deal? For a second? Is Gasol waiving his salary? Doesn’t make since why these teams keep helping the lakers cut costs.

    Sigh. If only Neil had the balls to trade for Jimmy when he got tossed around the league. He would have been absolutely perfect next to Dame.

    I’d guess PP has the advantage since Chauncey knows him well from LA.

    It would’ve worked fine. Some would play, some wouldn’t. Every team has 13 players. They don’t all play.

    I can’t trade CJ for Simmons on 2K22. Looking at a CJ/CJ2 for Isaac/Ross deal.

    Ingram for CJ works. Could we do that in the real world?
