    Gasol is good... but honestly, Nurk is much better at this stage. Gasol can shoot the 3, but I'd still rather have Nurk on the floor.

    Gasol would be an upgrade at backup C, but we have much bigger issues than to "go hard" after Marc.

    Neil seems to have a hard on for Centers. He’s acquired Nurk, went after Cousins last year, and now Gasol(supposedly).

    Kyrie is irrelevant in considering a trade for AD. Boston would have AD under contract, which makes it easier to convince Kyrie to stay.

    If Brown tears an ACL, again it's irrelevant. If it reduces his value, you find a different piece (or more picks) to include in the trade.

    Correction: They'd have AD under contract for one season and Kyrie would have the whole moratorium to be wooed elsewhere.

    opens up fine.
    as was seen last year in the playoffs and during much of last season, Boston was a pretty good team without Kyrie.

    I'd say our last playoff exit would argue the point that Gasol would make our playoff bench pretty frickin amazing...it was our bench that really choked that series..having two legit 7 ft rim protectors would be great

    I think Gasol would be a great backup to Nurk. It would be the perfect amount of minutes for the aging Gasol. It would improve the team. The bench would be a whole lot stronger.

    Like I don't see the point of getting Gasol, outside of never having to see Nards in a Blazer uniform again...
    But I believe Conley would be more attractive than Gasol on this roster would he not?
    Neither to me are really pieces Portland NEEDS.

    Nash was Trash.
    It rhymes for a reason...

    Anyway, why is Lonzo mentioned so much now? If i'm the Pels i threaten to end all talks if i even hear his name in the negotiations. Why would i want his ugly-ass jumpshot or his crazy family anywhere near my team?

    There is a lot of continuity with Nurkic and Gasol in terms of their skillset.

    The story about chasing Gasol is...weird.

    First of all, we have more pressing needs than back-up center. Second, there are teams out there that would want Gasol for more than a back-up. Logic suggests they would offer more than Portland would.

    The only way the story makes sense is if Olshey is trying to get rid of Nurk. So, who is going to rock me as I cry myself to sleep?

    Memphis is is laughing. They would at least want Zach Collins. It's not like Gasol is trash with zeo value.

    You'd be trading back up centers so it evens out...if ET is included with Meyers the salaries would be closer

    What we're about to find out through this deal or a Randle deal is whether or not Meyers has built enough trade value to bring back an upgrade
