per Rotoworld, Gasol plans to opt in for next year

More Gasol bashing in this thread, he fills the void left from Timmy retiring and he's leaving his own mark as a Spur. It sucks he's out for a month and a half, but all this rest could help him play better when he returns. I love his game, what he brings to the table, very smart player and amazing passer.

Hope we can trade some first rounders for Phoenixes physio and medical squad.

Of course, he told him to do this in October, but Kyle being so slow it just happened now. :lol

lol. Kyle got the message, it just took him a bit of time to execute it.

Looks like Patty is gone.


We can still retain Dedmon up to about 13mil a year. Then signing Simmons last would let us keep him too. 16mil or so without Simmons returning.

David Lee wont be keepable unless he opts in or comes back for the min in that scenario though.
