This thread is painfully dumb.
But that ill girl aka big bird all but guarantees the spurs a title in 14'15
There's no evidence that he's indecisive. His actions are completely consistent with someone who is patiently waiting for his first option before considering his second and third options.Quote:

Gasol would not just be the key to repeat but will be a bridge between the Duncan and the Leonard era.
I guess I dont understand your point. If he has to sit down and mull which is better LA/CHI/SA/? then I really dont know why that makes him a good fit. I feel like, if he were truly interested in SA, he would just take the MLE and get on with it.Quote:

The Lakers for 10M or more per year.Quote:

Gasol has a lot on his mind to make a choice, and it's not just about money. It's about moving. Chicago is a first class all-world city and he would be starting for them as opposed to fighting for minutes in San Antonio.
It must be easy where you're sitting to tell an NBA player, "Oh, it's JUST ~20+ million over the course of the next 3 or 4 seasons. That's nothing!" :lol
This is why most Spurs fans are hoping Melo goes to the Bulls.
Then the Spurs would be the favorites to get Gasol.

When dealing with your career, not thinking things over would be the red flag.Quote:

No. If Gasol signs with Spurs it also means he doesn't sign with OKC or Houston or any other contenders.
Ugh fck off morey no one wants uQuote:

He had a bad attitude when, in a team full of ego, he was being disrespected.
If the stars of the team can come off the bench, take less shots, less minutes, and receive Pop anger, then he's a basketball player.
LOL!!!Yeah FUC YOU....I with everybody else......I thinking along the lines of a possible 3 Peat......I want Pau!
