Spurs contact Pau Gasol reportedly

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

or OKC trading away Perkins to get Gasol.

Okc has moved on. That meeting with Brooks did them in.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Waiting for LA to renounce him so he can make his decision.

Seeing if they can work out a S&T, if not, they will renounce him.

[lefty]

Marc and Pau together would be awesome

[callo1]

I think it would be a mistake to trade away Cojo imo, the rest can go.

Cojo is on his way to being a very solid two way rotation player. I hope Anderson works out well, but I don't see Pop using him as a pg, not at first anyway. With Patty being out, Cojo is going to be counted on.

I agree, but the lakers would want something of value for helping the Spurs, if they do a S&T. Cojo is the Spurs best expendable asset right. I hope it comes to Pau just taking the MLE if he joins the Spurs.

They can offer him the taxpayer MLE ($3.28M).

Pau duda entre Bulls o Spurs
La mejor oferta económica que tiene es la de Chicago
San Antonio le ofrece la posibilidad automática de pelear por su tercer anillo
Pau duda entre Bulls o Spurs
JESÚS SÁNCHEZ 11/07/14 23:09

Pau Gasol está a punto de anunciar donde continuará su carrera en la NBA. El comunicado de LeBron James, que jugará en Cleveland, y el que vendrá de Carmelo Anthony, casi decidido a renovar por los Knicks, ha precipitado su decisión. El ala-pívot catalán escogerá, salvo propuesta de última hora, entre Chicago o San Antonio.

Los Bulls siempre quisieron a Pau desde que Derrick Rose pidiera su fichaje la temporada pasada. La oferta Chicago es la mejor de todas las que tiene en lo económico. El proyecto deportivo es también sugerente, aunque depende de la recuperación de Rose. Sin duda, los Bulls serían una alternativa de poder en el Este, una conferencia patas arriba tras la vuelta de LeBron a los Cavs. La posibilidad de jugar en un franquicia histórica, la del mito Jordan, también seduce a Pau, que además ve con buenos ojos vivir en una gran ciudad como Chicago, pese a la dureza de su invierno.

Los Spurs, mientras, son el equipo donde soñaba jugar algún día. Admirador de la manera de hacer las cosas en la franquicia texana y del concepto de juego de Popovich, Pau siempre quiso jugar con Duncan, Ginobili y Parker. Piensa que nadie le acerca más a la posibilidad de ser campeón la próxima temporada que los Spurs. Salvo cambio de última hora, en estas opciones se mueve Pau.

His Twitter post indicates he's almost made up his mind. You would think that would favor the Spurs considering the uncertainty of Melo, Boozer and Gibson. The sooner Pau decides the better for San Antonio.

I am more than fairly confident.

No way. My wife is from Ukraine and she has traveled all over Europe and the US and San Antonio cultural wise is her favorite here in the states. There is a reason why all the Spurs int'l players love it there. I have been to Spain and most of its larger cities are like SA in that it has a small town feel and a lot of Cultural. Chicago is my favorite downtown in the US, but hell no is it as diverse as San Antonio unless you are talking about getting some Irish whiskey and a deep dish pizza.

Factor in the lower cost of living, and no state income tax, and the Spurs MLE is better than Chicago, which has a flat 5% individual income tax.

If Gasol decides before Anthony does, then he is coming to San Antonio, but the longer it takes, the more it favors Chicago, unless Melo goes there IMHO.

[benstanfield]

If they are both offering the MLE this really seems like a no brainer. Play with legends in a warmer city coached by the GOAT, or hope Rose is healthy.

If we could sing Pau and then Tim would retire next year with Manu, we would be in play for Marc. Just thought about it and I love the idea.

[Taking it to the Hole]

I wish Melo would decide what the hell he is going to do already. If Gasol thinks he is going to win in Chicago, he is dreaming. Even with Melo, the Bulls are not going to be title contenders. If he leaves for Chicago, obviously he cares more about money than winning. I don't know why this is such a hard decision for him. The longer he waits, the more likely he is going to go somewhere else.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

That means if Pau chooses Chicago, they would have to deal away either Boozer or Gibson. Sad thing is LA is desperate for players, and Chicago has already stated they would rather trade away Boozer than amnesty him. Of course this doesn't matter if he picks San Antonio initially.

[RD2191]

For us new to basketball, what is sign and trade? And why would Pau do it? Or does he have to agree to it?

[TimDunkem]

From Paul Garcia:

“@ramonashelburne: Regarding Pau: top two now Chi/Spurs..if Bulls can't do sign and trade with Lakers, likely he goes to Spurs”

EDIT: Late as usual...

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

487734144147787776

Exactly, the Lakers are up to 56mil with Lin, Hill and Swags contracts. Hell no they want that 17 mil contract from the Bulls. I'll pull a chris here, 85% Pau comes to the Spurs at this point.

[IceColdBrewski]

Get ready for the hating posts towards Gasol if he picks Chicago.

Nah. Now, if he were to pick OKC...

[Old School 44]

Here's something to ponder while we wait.

Are these players in the top 3 ever to come from their respective countries to play in the NBA? It's amazing, even if we don't land Gasol.

In my opinion, 4 are no brainer number ones.

France - Tony Parker, Boris Diaw
Argentina - Manu Ginobili
US Virgin Islands - Tim Duncan
Spain - Pau Gasol
Brazil - Tiago Splitter
Italy - Marco Belinelli
Austrailia - Patty Mills

[spurraider21]

Bulls can still amnesty boozer but their owner seems to be cheap

[slick'81]

Dammit lakers may be desperate enough to take what Chicago can offer

[dougp]

Don't see how S&T is possible now, Lakers have no cap room and must have renounced his rights to do the Lin/Swaggy/Hill moves.

[Mel_13]

I'm nearly 100% certain that today's other transactions mean that the Lakers can no longer do an S&T with Gasol. Gasol will sign as a free agent with another NBA team.

Still think he's using the Spurs as leverage.

LA is just re-signed with Nick Young (4 years 22 million) and Jordan Hill (2 years 18 million) They also get Jeremy Lin with their cap space.

So when you sum up these, they have no place to absorb any player of Bulls.

And they don't need to sign&trade with Gasol and get back another 7-8 million contract.

Looks like we may see your sig pic play out at least one more time.

The difference between 10 million/yr in Cali and full MLE in SA is even less than the difference in contract #'s due to no state tax in TX. Not sure what Illinois' tax situation is.

They have st. income tax.

Not buying any of this, need Ric Bucher to confirm, tbh.

To compete a S&T the Lakers need to ship salary out. They can only move Nash or Kobe.Duh! But I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense for them unless they're purposely trying to fuck us or REALLY REALLY value Gasol.

Dont they have Lin too now (technically) if the trade is simultaneous?

[callo1]

Gasol would lose about 300k per year in Chicago due to the tax.

[Cry Havoc]

Source: A sign and trade appears to be incredibly unlikely with Pau and the Bulls given the Lakers' cap situation. The only way a sign and trade could realistically work is if Nash is moved. It appears more and more likely Pau may sign with the Spurs.

Gasol to Spurs would be an overrated addition, but I'm all for it, might as well add talent and depth, obviously:lol..

It's risky adding one of the worst defensive bigs in the league that is known to complain about his role/touches, but hopefully the offensive chemistry/talent will negate the concerns..

If he's willing to sign with the Spurs over Chicago, I'll assume that he's cool with his potential role in SA..

Shit just got real. But the Spurs are the champions... the rest of the league would probably jump at the chance to screw the Spurs out of signing Pau.

This would push the Rockets or Bulls very close to the Tax level. They'll pass if it comes to this.

Starting to think this might happen.

I wasn't hallucinating,was I?

[peacemaker885]

Should this happen, someone will do a Pop

“What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension,” said Popovich. “There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense. I just wish I had been on a trade committee that oversees NBA trades. I’d like to elect myself to that committee. I would have voted no to the L.A. trade.”

Doubtful.

[/B]That's been my take on pau throughout this process

Pau is on his last legs, I'm sure he wants discover Duncan's fountain of youth formula. The only way to do that is to join the Spurs.

How does John Calipari feel right now? He could have coached LeBron, Kyrie and Wiggins...and $80 mil...he turned that down.

He's very close to deciding yet Melo is far from his decision and Pau wants to play for a winner hmmm....me gusta

Hope L.A. and Chicago screw up and that Melo takes his time deciding.

Lebron, Melo, and the market created this situation, no other GMs can cry foul on this.

Wait a second, Pau is a FREE agent right? All this talk about sign and trade and shit, they can't force a sign and trade right? Wouldn't he have to choose to go to Chicago?
