Pau Gasol, a step away from playing for the Bulls

The Marca newspaper announces that Pau Gasol found the way out of the free agent labyrinth amongst many juicy options that made him one of the most sought after free agents in the NBA on this frenetic July.

Finally, the power forward will almost surely continue his career with the Bulls.

Pau has the deal almost closed with Chicago, and he would like to do the physical before returning to Barcelona in the next few days.

The deal is pending on another operation, a 'sign and trade' with the Lakers, even though Pau rejected the initial offer from the Lakers to re-new, that would even allow Pau to increase the amount of money of his signing.

Even though he thought the process would be easier and quicker, the oldest of the Gasol brothers has taken his time to decide, but the Lebron news, who's heading back to Cleveland, and the imminent announcement from Carmelo Anthony, who is likely to re-new with the Knicks, has accelerated his decision, which is almost taken.

Thunder and Spurs also wanted him, but Gasol was seduced with the Bull's project.

[Nathan89]

Well I guess he doesn't want the Spurs MLE.

There is no reason to believe in this rumor, a S&T is challenging for the lakers to say the least. All this rumor is speculation but hoopshype translated wrong and now everyone is running with it.

Once the lakers renounced Pau's rights they're no longer to exceed the cap in a sign and trade

They would have to be under the cap to do it, correct

Thanks to Hill, Lin, as Young moves today that's basically impossible :lol

That way there is no way he can be wrong.

[Mel_13]

The numbers don't even work if Nash is gone, assuming the return piece is boozer

The numbers might work if:

1. They use the stretch provision on Nash

2. Chicago sends Dunleavy and Snell

3. Pau's first year salary is around 6.5M

But they can still do a S&T if the salaries match, which means they would have to find a team to take Nash. Not out of the realm of possibilities if they involve a 3rd team and get picks in return.

If they stretch Nash they're somewhere in the vicinity of 53 mil before roster holds so I guess that could work. I guess they need bodies to fill out the roster and snell could be seen as a piece

Guys, the Spurs will repeat with or without Gasol. I wouldnt get too down if he doesnt choose SA. We are good enough to beat anyone.

[midnightpulp]

But they can still do a S&T if the salaries match, which means they would have to find a team to take Nash. Not out of the realm of possibilities if they involve a 3rd team and get picks in return.

Yep. This is my only fear. It would make absolutely no sense for any team to take on Nash's contract for picks, since said team wouldn't get the benefit of unloading a multiyear contract for Nash's expiring. Nash will retire after next season, so I can't fathom any team giving up picks for him.

But these GMs have proven to be morons in the past, so it'll probably happen.

Gasol to CHI is way better than Bosh to HOU or Gasol to OKC.

Seriously, is there something wrong with the Spurs? Why would he rather play with borderline tard D Rose and faggy Noah than Parker/Manu/Duncan and the rest of out international roster? I don't care either way, Pau is a faggot, tbh. But still.

[SpursFan86]

I'm not mad that we missed out on Pau; I'm mad that I actually bought into this stupid hype and believed he would come here for the MLE. Been following this situation for hours and in the end it turned out the same as always lol. We don't need Pau and I don't give a shit about him ending up in Chicago because we won't even see them in the playoffs.

[TheyCallMePro]

I'm glad we didn't get Pau. I want to see Kyle Anderson actually get to play this year, and if Gasol had joined this roster, there wouldn't have even been a spot for him. Plus, Pau is washed up anyways. He shoots way too many jump shots and 3's and has steadily regressed since 2010. The last couple years for him have been brutal. There's a reason the Lakers were constantly looking to trade him. Everyone seems to conveniently forget that once he's a free agent. But the Lakers couldn't get jack shit for him.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Now that it's mentioned.. WOJ doesn't really go into specifics.. might just be Marca..

Lebron will take care of Gasol and Chicago for us.

Would have been nice, but if we stay healthy we should be fine and I love, that we didn't lose any player (also not CoJo in a possible S&T).

Seriously, is there something wrong with the Spurs? Why would he rather play with borderline tard D Rose and faggy Noah than Parker/Manu/Duncan and the rest of out international roster? I don't care either way, Pau is a faggot, tbh. But still.

Some of the other guys we missed out on I understand...they're young niggas that wouldn't fit into the business approach of the Spurs. MVPau is a humble foreigner though so this one stings. :cry

[007nites]

As many of us said, Chicago should be a no-brainer for Gasol, tbh..they can contend in the East + he'll get a ton of touches, which is a priority for him..

True, but who would he get along with down there?

[mystargtr34]

Obvious choice..

1. $$$
2. Bigger role.
3. Contend in the East.

Gasol is just settling on getting assfucked by LeBron every year. A team led by Rose's knees and Noah will never win a title.

I wonder what makes you question that, as if you know the Bulls collectively and individually.

I wonder if Boozer will be amnestied now. As I said, I'd prefer him to Gasol anyway, even though I don't really want him either

I can't imagine a single reason why Booz is preferable, outside of the fact that we'd pay jack shit after an amnesty

[Johnny RIngo]

Nothing to be upset about. Pau chose the team that offered the better city and the better money. He would have been a bargain at the MLE but it's not like he would have been the greatest fit anyway. I was more upset about losing AK last year. Only shitty thing about this is the Spurs might not end up using their MLE at all. They already have a full roster. Having to watch Ayres another year is going to be brutal.

I'm not mad that we missed out on Pau; I'm mad that I actually bought into this stupid hype and believed he would come here for the MLE. Been following this situation for hours and in the end it turned out the same as always lol. We don't need Pau and I don't give a shit about him ending up in Chicago because we won't even see them in the playoffs.

I still don't get why people entertain this bullshit for so long every year and let a thread drag out this long when they know he is not coming and they just use the Spurs name always for leverage! We won the title folks relax and just let it be because as some said he was never coming here and these threads are a waste of time alot of times. Nobody signs here outright who can get money or so on elsewhere! Haven't fans learned this by now? I guess not. On to the next to SA thread for some player. Spurs are fine as is, period.

[kjhip1]

Meh, regardless of what else we do,the west didn't get better and we're still in a good spot to repeat

[BatManu20]

Great offseason regardless. Would've been a perfect one if we somehow found a way to not have Ayers on this team but PATFO can only do so much. They're not magicians. Time to move on.

Pau Gasol will retire next year or aged 5 years,since Thibs will run him into the ground.

He'll fit in with Ayres then.

I'm talking with Tspence, personally, and he still won't give it up. :lol

Boozer can catch though...

Too bad he can't do anything once he has it

Lol... I swear I cringe when I see Jeff shoot

Spurs have no interest in Boozer. He has consistently disappeared in pressure situations. At least Pau has gone through the whole dance 3 times.

Don't we all... :bang

I know I know. I thought MAYBE, just MAYBE, this one time would be different since Pau is a foreigner and is big on culture, he's apparently friends with Parker, we just won the title, etc...but yeah, like you said, we're fine as is. Again, I'm more annoyed I wasted my time than I am Pau isn't coming here.

I at least hope we use some of our MLE still. Aminu or Marion would be nice.

No matter where Gasol ends up, thanks for your services as an LA Laker. Not backing down at all though, I still believe Gasol will be a Spur

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Sadly I was convinced that Pau's first motivation would be money, since he has already won championships before and this may be his last chance for a relatively fat NBA contract...

[ironman2886]

:lol Chicago.

The Spurs don't need Boozer to be great under pressure. He'd be essentially replacing Bonner.

[kjhip1]

Padding the stats tbh

[SpursFan86]

I think I'd rather have Bonner at this point tbh. Less money, 3-point range, isn't a douchebag with colored in hair...

[Despot]

Most of you are letting emotions get to you.

The woj post only states what we all already knew, they are working on a deal. For all we know that means looking at other trade options with LA, or finding a third team for Nash, as little sense as that makes.

As far as Tspence, if it is 100% chance that he goes to the Spurs, why would he still be dealing with the Bulls??

[ElNono]

The problem isn't being great or not, the problem is being straight up garbage. I'll take Bonner over Boozer in our team right now, simply because Bonner at least knows enough of the system not to fuck up too much, and likely would be cheaper.

The thing is, Bonner started in the WCF... there will always be some high pressure minutes for our 4th big, due to matchups or foul trouble, etc.

(https://twitter.com/EricPincus/status/487850861939290112)Lakers can get up to about $8-10 mil in cap space by stretching Nash - so a S&T for Pau can work but Bulls need to send out matching $

[BatManu20]

Good call Woj

487788545029840896

[LakerHater]

Bulls currently have more than $66 mil in committed payroll; MLE to Pau would put them at about $71.6 million. BAE to Mirotic at $74 mil.

[dbreiden83080]

The Spurs do not need this guy to win another championship guys calm the fuck down and relax. If they get him its nice luxury but is by no means crucial.
