We need you on board for good juju. Look man it wouldn't be hard at all to unload Pau if it's not a good fit. All aboard

Out of curiosity, who would you rather get for the MLE?

Re: Spurs contact Pau Gasol reportedly
If the Spurs get Pau...wow he'd fit in perfectly and would flourish in the spurs offense. One of the best passing big men in the league

Re: Spurs contact Pau Gasol reportedly
Something else I'm sure Pau is considering: $5M in Texas is bigger than $5M in Chicago.
Illinois' 5% state income tax could cost him ~250K right off the bat.

Can anyone verify this? Do the Grizz have a MLE?

Its not like he didn't spend 6 years in the Spanish league and did all his interviews in Spanish while he was there.

I'm not horribly against the signing. I just don't care, so I've pretty much ignored this thread since the early parts.
Don't jynx it. Maybe my apathy is the key to the Spurs finally getting a big FA.

Re: Spurs contact Pau Gasol reportedly
Another thing to keep in mind: Bulls have apparently been in talks with Mirotic to bring him over. If they know he's coming over, they might not be so eager to try and get Pau.

Odd... then why aren't they in the short list of contenders for Pau's services?

He did. And he seems to be most comfortable speaking that language, if I recall correctly reports from 2010.

Like someone else said: if you can get Gasol for the MLE, you do it iland figure out how to use him later.

Re: Spurs contact Pau Gasol reportedly
Splitter is fluent in Spanish. There was an article about it some time back.

Um, no. It would be more like saying Ginobili knows Italian.

They just signed Zach to an extension. Grizz don't like to pay big, TBH.

I'm not sure, but by all accounts Pau is between us and Chicago. Don't see any reason to consider Memphis at this point.

Re: Spurs contact Pau Gasol reportedly
Everything is damn near perfectly lined up for the Spurs to land Pau and wrap a bow on the best season in franchise history.
