Pau Gasol hopes Lakers treat him the way they did D12 when he's free next summer

[Thebesteva]

http://www.lakersnation.com/pau-gasol-hopes-for-billboards-around-los-angeles-next-summer/2013/07/03/


When asked about how his future will be affected if Dwight Howard re-signs, Gasol doesn’t believe the Lakers will automatically trade or amnesty him, but acknowledged that those chances would increase:
“I don’t think that Howard re-signing with the Lakers puts me out of the team for sure, but I guess the chances would grow. I know the Lakers are pushing hard trying to keep Howard with a spectacular campaign in Los Angeles, putting banners in key spots.”



While discussing the #STAYD12 banners around Los Angeles (http://www.lakersnation.com/lakers-news-dwight-howard-banner-ad-placed-on-beverly-hills-hotel/2013/06/29/), Gasol decided to comment on his upcoming free agency and jokingly hopes that he receives the same treatment as Howard:

“I hope they (Lakers) do the same for me next season when I become a free agent…I doubt it.”


It’s unfortunate how Gasol’s future with the Lakers depends on Dwight Howard especially for all he has done for Los Angeles. After Phil Jackson retired, both Mike Brown and Mike D’Antoni have failed to utilize him correctly by having him operate from the elbow. Gasol has tried his best to adjust to his ever-changing roles and has been unfairly criticized in the process.
Gasol has definitely lost his athleticism since those back-to-back championships, but is still effective in the post when given the opportunity.
If Howard decides to leave, Gasol thrived at the center position this past season and there should be optimism that he can return to his All-Star caliber self after undergoing a FAST technique procedure for his knee tendinitis. He obviously doesn’t defend the paint as well as Howard, so it’ll be up to Lakers management to find some athletic players to cover for Gasol’s deficiencies.
Gasol averaged 13.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists this past season despite all the injuries and role changes.

I can help Pau with that....all I need is gloves and Vaseline

[Clipper Nation]

Pau would actually DESERVE that kind of treatment, considering how he carried the Lakers to two rings, tbh....

Wow, I have to agree with this statement. Pau is a Legend and a top 10 all-time Laker, tbh.

[Bynumite]

I was watching a Pau top 10 plays video and with all the jumpshooting he's doing in his latest years, i actually forgot how this dude used to be a beast attacking the rim and shitting on them niggas.

Only a fucking animal would amnesty Pau.

He's a frustrating player, but, Kobe beat him mercilessly and he never uttered a peep in protest. He took the abuse & obeyed the dictate and 15 & 16 were the result.

Cully, watch number 4 on the video i posted above, Kobe and Pau share an eternal bond, they both shitted on Robinson and Duncan on the same damn play.

That shit is forever.

Yep, CPO is as phony as a $3 bill. Pau has humility and was willing to permit himself to be lashed to the whipping post and have his Spanish ass turned to an omelette by the overseer (Kobe Bryant).

Spot on, are you going to beg him to stay ?

[Baseline]

Pau is the REASON for 15 and 16, yet Laker fans can only see through the wool Bryant has pulled over their eyes. If Dwight gets 5 billboards, Pau deserves 50. But all he'll get next summer is a swift boot.

Pau should have been a Spurs...smh.

Please. Pau still hasn't scratched in the playoffs without Kobe. He & Howard & Nash were gonna be big shots in the playoffs. Ha! Big shots...

& that's his weakness. (He's a nice person). That's how the Mavs attacked us:::thru his weakness, his inability to compete when somebody sticks a foot in his ass or calls his mother "a $3 whore." The Mavs took notes of how the Celtics made Pau say "uncle" and then applied that protocol. Viola! We're face ass down in the salad.

Not many players can drag Kobe to titles while simultaneously taking his alpha bs, Cub.

^Kobe beat it out of him, albeit temporarily. Now Bryant is [too close] to Pau to whistle the loops and beat him with that leather strap. Kobe has some fresh hide to roast (Howie) in his sights. Oh, boy, Kobe would love to light into that black ass. Hell, maybe even the buckle end of that belt. Oh, my goodness, there is some black & blue to be had there.

Only way the Lakers will treat Pau next year...

At least Pau delivered titles, tbh. One of which came against a certain center who they're begging to return.

But, Pau can't do squat in the playoffs without Kobe. He had his chance against you fellows, he was gonna be a big shot, prove his worth, prove us wrong, make us capitulate, gonna show us where the bear shit in the buckwheat...fell flat on his face, got the table ran on him. Big shot.

Hope Pau retires as a Laker.

Yeah and Dwight couldn't do anything with or without Kobe so how shitty does that make him

Pretty damn shitty. Another big shot/big mouth. Looks so easy, but, yet neither of the 3 (Nash included) could function without Bryant. And that's what Bryant is trying to convey to Howard about winning rings: "you can run, but, you're only running from yourself. Stay here and I will teach you what it took me umpteenth years to learn. You ain't gonna like me for it, but, you'll ring."

Your(and Kobe's) mistake here is thinking that Howard has the capacity inside his skull to give a shit about anyone but himself. He doesn't. He is cancer. Rings take way too much hard work for a guy like that.

He quit worse than anyone I've ever seen.

If they are treating D12 the way they are, the Lakers should treat Pau like the Queen of England next year because this is the guy who led the team in WS in the most recent championship years.

No Pau, no rings.

Lakers without Kobe. Went from 9th seed in the West to 7th seed in the west in three games.

Lakers without Gasol. Didn't even get into the top 10 seed in the west.

That is all.
