16 million 2017-18.
Just because it would be the right thing to do.
Okay i'm just asking.

15.4 We know the French Prick won't.
21.4 Aldridge :lol I'd be fine if he was in a 8 mil.
10 Danny Green who played like he was worth about 3 this season.

At the time spurs signed Pau i said it was gonna be fun to watch spurfans slowly turn on him as the season progressed, after being on the MVPau bandwagon for years :lol

Now you're gonna pay the man and you're gonna like it.

^^ All in all he has played his role well in the playoffs.
It's only a Zaza cheapshot that ended the Spurs playoffs.

As to Pao, I never wanted him simply because he spurned the Spurs offer in summer 2014 simply to go collect paychecks with the Bulls. Told me his is not fully interested in title.

Maybe he could opt out and go back to the Lakers for less? With the new dynasty they are starting around LowBall.

How old was Kobe when he played his last playoff game?

Meh, if anyone was expecting 'MVPau' they were being unrealistic. With that said, I expected him to be at least better than Duncan was last season but imho, 40 year-old Tim > 36 year-old Pau. Pretty disappointing even with my low expectations. :lol

We don't know.. We do know that he was a tired old shit-bag at the time.

There was no Kobe to drag Pua to the finish line.

Pau had some good performances in the RS so we shouldn't act like he's useless. He just isn't playoff Pau anymore. He needs a creator to run the PnR with him and he needs to get more touches at the rim, not 12 feet from it. He's never been that great at putting the ball on the floor and bodying up in the paint. He's a better catch and finish guy and offensive rebounder than LMA tbh. Neither of them can jump 12" off the floor. Spurs need athleticism, not stupid Dedmon, Somali pirate aggression but real shit that incorporates meaningful moves instead of emotional outbursts with power dunks even though he cannot finish a fucking layup.

I wouldn't mind keep Pau another year as long as he's not counted on for major minutes in the playoffs. That probably means a true PG and KL has to be healthy. Danny cannot have more and more poor outings, needs to play hard every night instead of coasting and chucking a few 3's. We need another legit play maker in the starting rotation.

Yep. I did expect him to be able to hit 3 foot bunny shots.

Gasol is on player option, can't be cut.
Has to either opt out (miracle) or be traded in which case we have to obtain similar salary.

Ding, ding, ding.

Spurs are essentially a one-man team on offense when it comes to playmaking.

Not as old as the guy in my signature. By chance have you ever clicked it? It's pretty surreal :)

You don't want that son. He'd be essentially replacing the corpse of David West. Zaza, Javelle McGee and MVPau together would ensure you guys never sniff the Finals again :lol

:lol I'd welcome the Dubs playing Gasol just for the fact they'd have to play at a snails pace to keep him on the floor, among other reasons...

Dubs aren't as lethal in a halfcourt setting. At this stage MVPau is a halfcourt player. He'd be really effective finding cutters and open 3pt shooters from the post.

He may be slower now, but he is still the best passing big man in the game. You don't want to add that to a team like the Dubs.

The Dubs' offense is able to work specifically because they play at a fast pace. While Gasol would definitely be able to find their shooters, if they have to play slow to utilize that then their shooters become much more guardable. Also, as we've seen, Gasol is awful at everything on offense outside passing and spot-up shooting from the top of the key/corners and defensively he's one of the worst players in the league.

You sound like he would be playing 40mpg :lol

Pay would be a fantastic addition to the DubsPERIOD

i dunno about u guys, but if patfo plays the loyalty card by not trading parker to make him happy at the expense of another failed season....then I hope kawhi either demands a trade or sign too another team...I can actually see him leaving, spurs aint the team going to give him supermax anyway...

I trade pau to Memphis for zbo .... or ask for some of their perimeter players in return...they got some ****** in them over this white trash no balls mental midget players
