All three of those options will cost at least 3x the amount of Pau. The only player worth that $$ IMO is Durant. That is it. I like Whiteside and Conley but not for max $$.Quote:

Pau this season was allegedly a horrible defensive rebounder despite his stats. Add in the he's a diva who demanded to start in Chicago ... and his aging decline .... no thanks
I don't get the fascination with 35 year old Pau Gasol? Dude is going to be 36 this next season.
I would get if 5 years ago, but not now.
NO THANK YOU!
Meh. Don't know if old stiffs are so important anymore. More and more the NBA is heading to having just 1 big (and a very mobile one) with 6'8, 6'7 guys playing around him on the perimeter. Wings are, by far, the most important players on today's NBA and we have a glaring lack of them in the roster. That should be our biggest aim, imho.
I'd take him off the bench, but I'm not sure he's a starter any more.
At 35 years of age, Pau played nearly 32 minutes per game. If I was Pau - on that team, with that roster, I'd demand to start too. He wants to win and took less money to do so.
As for his stats, he averaged 16 pts, 11 boards (9 of them on the defensive end) and 4 assists. That's insane for a 35 year old. His production got lost on a very bad and dysfunctional Chicago team. I wouldn't put him in the "Old stiff" category just yet. If you can add Gasol at his price tag, it frees up $$ for another wing player. Hoepfully, one that can dribble.
Here's what he did to Cleveland this year:

I just worry at his age that he falls off quick. But much like Duncan he doesn't have a high flying game and can sustain success longer. If Duncan retires then yes I would be ok with getting him. I don't know if both him and timmy here though. I would like a young guy developing behind Tim and Boban. But Pau and Boban would look good.
Yes - because most All-Stars come off the bench. :rolleyes You do realize he has been an All-Star the last 2 years right? I'm telling you, people are sleeping on him. I hope the Spurs don't.Quote:

BTW, Parker is 34, so if you can have a 34 year old PG, why not a 35 year old big man with great skills and basketball IQ.
if gasol never whined on defense (mid-play, not even after the whistle) he'd be a much better player
but yeah i'd take him in a heartbeat
Doesn't matter who we get. Popovich won't change his coaching style and will continue to throw games during the regular season because it makes him "look smart"
We don't need a pussy center starting.
Not convinced?
Here's his 21 pts, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blks he put up on OKC Christmas Day.
