    Gasol has never had a negative DBPM for a season in his career. He had a 3.5 DBPM last year playing mostly center. We know he's not going to be a good defender on the perimeter so he had to have been contributing with rim protection. He had 2.3 blocks per 36, which is pretty damn good. He's a good rim protector with a low post game. He can stretch the floor and pass the ball. Would be a great fit for Olshey's offense.

    Seriously, Gasol is a 2x champion... Lord knows how many time all star. He's seen it all and done it all. We NEED someone like that, when's the last time we have a multiple time champ that was actually good still on our team?

    I know, I first read that as 2000/day and was thinking "man, that's do-able, but dedicated." Then I saw "year".

    If anything he'd be a good mentor to Vonleh and Leonard, if he re-signs.

    But but but this time it'll be different!!!

    Seriously though... I need to learn my lesson. Never get your hopes up.

    It's like that with girls too.. get ya hopes up and most likely you get played. Just say "fuck it" and don't care and you might literally "fuck it"...

    They say pursuing free agents is dating... wine and dining sort of analogy

    It applies so well.

    Trade Plumlee for a future 1st and we have $10M or so. It'd probably take more so I'm guessing we renounce Harkless or Leonard or trade Davis. That would give us $14M-$15M.

    I'm guessing he wants a 3 year deal with the last year being a player option.

    We'll learn when you learn to not post such negative shit all the time.

    So basically never.

    I'm sorry but I'm being real. He ain't touching this market.

    It don't matter if we have a 2nd team all NBA player (top 10 player) , an upcoming star and most improved player, front runner coach of the year, you name it

    For whatever reason top free agents or a name brand like Pau Gasol will be damned to come here

    You know that too
