The Rockets are working to sign Marc Gasol to a 4 year, $55M offer sheet, sources tell Y! Memphis would have 3 days to match, or lose him.

he aint that good...sux for the rox if they make it happen

[DPG21920]

I mean, why wouldn't MEM match that?

[Spursfan092120]

This...he was a Memphis' Robin under the post next to Batman (Randolph)

[InRareForm]

Okay, I am down for that rematch in the playoffs, Spurs and Grizzlies.

Can't afford it.

they gave randolph and gay the max and conley is already making around 9 million. may be why we are hearing trying to dump mayo.

Its okay, Heisley is loaded and generous.

Grizzlies can afford to have 3 maxed players.

They aren't trying to dump OJ, they would be getting salary back in McRoberts.

‎4 years, $55 million (the most Houston can sign him for). if Memphis matches, HOU will work on sign and trade

[NRHector]

Can the brothers play in the same team?

[InRareForm]

If DeAndre can get 10mil, Gasol can get a few mil more.

[Obstructed_View]

Can't afford it.

I can't think of any reason they can't match it.

[DJ Mbenga]

they'll match. this was houston trying to accelerate the centers market

[Seventyniner]

The question becomes: who's going to max out Nene?

[LkrFan]

Good move, but why didn't Buford do this? Don't sweat cap space - Stern has small market teams' back. :rolleyes

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Huh, hes up there with Bogut and Howard as the best defensive centers in the game. He also can hit a 15 footer. Thats solid gold in the NBA.

[baseline bum]

I'd much rather gamble on Jordan for $10 million a year than Gasol for almost $14 million per.

[Josepatches_]

If DeAndre can get 10mil, Gasol can get a few mil more.

Clutchfans...omg they actually believe the Grizz dont match or they do a S&T with them

[mavs>spurs]

since when is 14 mil "maxed out?"

That is the max for a 3rd year player offered by an outside team.

[JamStone]

About $175 million left committed to those 3 guys over the next 4 plus years.

:lol

i wish i were 7ft tall and somewhat competent at basketball...

[Kai]

Would be neat if Memphis passed, but they'll match. This is just to expedite the center saga.

Also need to be black. That will get you drafted.

[baseline bum]

That is the max for a 3rd year player offered by an outside team.

The new CBA didn't set the max at 30% of the cap and get rid of the 25% and 35% brackets? Then again, my source on that was ESPN and not the actual CBA (the NBAPA still has the 2005 CBA up on its site).

houston will be a true competitor the coming season if they manage to land marc. they already got lowry/scola/martin plus a handful of young hot prospects, a good C would complete a solid squad for them imho. a core of martin/lowry/scola/marc wouldn't look too bad imho
