Sounds not so much like a hint, but like him basically saying he's coming back lol

[spursparker9]

Too late tbh.

He should signed here in 2014 tbh

[lilbthebasedgod]

Good. I like him overall.

[Mr. Body]

I like him. Great.

[RD2191]

I honestly don't mind pau or parker...as long as they're coming off the bench.

[Darius Bieber]

of course he is. He wouldn't get paid a quarter of what is contract is worth if he opted out and signed elsewhere.

The article says otherwise, but it's just the writers speculation, specifically the blazers would pay $16m

[cd021]

I like him but hop he opts opt or, at least opts out and resigns with a two year deal to help the Spurs retain Dedmon and Mills.

I agree

BULL !!

i hope when Parker's contract is up, he doesn't fool the front office by saying, "The Nets are offering me $25 million for next season...."

[itzsoweezee]

If it's between Pau or Dedmon, I'd rather have Dedmon.

[SAGirl]

I am starting to miss Gasol TBH... I didn't think I would, but Dedmon hasn't stepped up like I thought, Lee is starting games instead... And frankly, As much as I liked Davis, he has definite adjustment issues to the league defensively and he doesnt rebound. I didn't think I'd miss Gasol but I do miss him.

I don't understand the hate on Paul so much! The man is a champion an the reason Kobe got his last 2 if I'm not mistaken. He s old.... what the do you'll expect. Everyone is not Tim godt damn Duncan... It's like getting mad at Simmon cuz he's not Ginobili. I see why some people calls most Spurs fans spoiled. He still passes well, shoot well, an rebound somewhat. Dedmon can't do half the Pual does. An I like Dedmon!

Agree with all this. Though I'm beginning to be a little disappointed in Dedmon. He's really not taking advantage of his opportunity with Pau out.

This. Deadman still has time to step up, but he needs to do it NOW!

you don't understand the hate? Do you watch the games????? All you have to do is just watch ONE game, and not the online full game highlights" and you'll understand why we hate a 7 foot center that is more comfortable at shooting 3s than posting up, doesn't even attempt to block most layups coming into the paint, and can't box out for a rebound worth . If those aren't legitimate reasons for hating Gasol, then there is no case for any player in the league being disliked by fans of their teams

[james evans]

Well, stepping up would actaully require that he's on the court playing. I don't know if you've noticed, but David Lee starts and gets the minutes

[gambit1990]

i'm still under the impression that his intensity will rise in the playoffs...

I have league pass... So I watch every game. An there's a reason Lee gets waaaaaaay more mins than Dedmon even with a full roster. No Pual doesn't rebound like a 7ftr should... that's why I said the man is old.. but also like I said. He passed well, spreads the floor, an is a proven champion. Even with the hate on all our "Old guys". Not just him. They're old, but everyone wants these dudes to be them prime selves until they retire... Where's the respect!?!

[still.focused]

San Antonio should move him to the bench for the POs (where he should be)
Maybe it discourages him from opting in thinking thats his new role
If he asks you tell him yeah thats your new role duck
If he pouts es or doesnt produce in a contract yr its his own ass

So you watch every game and don't understand why we don't like Gasol? Being old doesn't mean you can't challenge a shot coming in the paint. Duncan's been old for us. He at least attempted to block shots.

Like I said in my previous post if you read.... Everyone ain't Duncan.... Then you bring up what Duncan did!!! Like I said before. "Everyone ain't Tim godt damn Duncan "!!!

You don't have to be Duncan to attempt to block shots and box out on rebounds You can literally grab someone off the street to do that
