Also if this was a second move after trading CJ/Nurk for AD/Filler It would be ballsy as hell. A Dame/AD/Gasol window could be as small as 1.5 years. Not to mention I’m not sure that’s better than GS anyway.
Missed Erections is one of my fantasy football teams. Literally 2 years after I first used it, my friend spontaneously burst out laughing, and said....."I just got it"
Fuck yes he can. Look at Memphis. The league is about wings who can guard multiple positions and are interchangeable. Olshey wants a plodding center who is antiquated in todays game.
Yeah and you can really split 48 minutes between them. You cannot play them together for even 5 minutes.
Expensive in terms of the volume/value of assets that would have to go out in order to facilitate bringing him in.
I was thinking the same. Gasol does have a player option this summer. Maybe Neil is offering a unrealistic trade in order to dump 2 contracts. Maybe ET , Meyers and a 2nd round pick for Marc? If Gasol opts out and goes to SA this summer as a free agent then maybe Neil sees it as a win by clearing cap space. For you stats geeks, Gasol is having his best year ever ........in assists and steals per game. So he has value if he stayed.
and yet, without knowing what those assets are, one can't determine the real cost can they? Maybe Gasol will bring back more production than what we give up? Would it be considered expensive then?
Obviously everything in this thread is speculative, including the presumed cost. Yes, it is theoretically possible that Gasol could be acquired for Leonard and Harkless, but that is not realistic. It is not unreasonable to presume that the most likely scenario is that the asset return Memphis would expect for Marc Gasol would be rather significant, and that were he to depart shortly thereafter in free agency (as was implied by use of the term "rental"), that the return would likely be less than the value of that expected cost.
Until it happens, it's meaningless what anyone thinks what the deal would be. I never thought we would be able to acquire Marcus Camby for Outlaw and Blake. Would you consider Outlaw and Blake an expensive cost to acquire a game changer like Camby was?
