Gasol is my favorite non-Spur but I doubt he goes anywhere, he's one of the most underrated players in the NBA and is a top 10 talent. Look at how bad the Grizz are without him!
I want him here no doubt but I accept that no way we'd get him without ditching Parker, Ginobili, Duncan, or Bowen.
Why would we ever trade Parker?! Ginobili would be gone before Parker, and I don't want our core to go away.
Exactly what I was going to post.Quote:

:wtf
some crutches so his broke ass could half ass walk to san antonio
I think this is the crux of the argument here. Even if the Spurs decided to offload Manu and Parker to get Gasol, it wouldn't make sense as the dynamics of the NBA have changed to favor perimeter players. Dominating post players are less important in this day and age. And Gasol is a damn good player, but not the type of player who alters the landscape of a basketball game just by being out on the court.Quote:

No thanks :td Gasol is all hype and no substance (at least when the chips are down).
Gasol is good. Similiar type of player to a young Duncan, minus the defense. Similiar type of player offensively in terms of production.
mem would have to trade him if he demanded to move
that would be fine because spurs would have td and tp and horry and finleyQuote:

I am not one to propose ridiculous one sided trades but this snipit caught my eye. David DuPree has never come across to me as a 'Vescey' type source. Let's assume he's correct what in the hell would we have to offer the Griz?
Long Beach, CA: Hello Mr. Dupree. What's your take on the sudden Kobe Bryant one game suspension for the alleged intentional elbow on Manu Ginobili. Which team do you think will acquire Pau Gasol and Eddie Jones before the February deadline. Thanks! Chris
David DuPree: It looks like Eddie Jones is already gone to the Heat, but Pau Gasol is a different matter. He is a real difference maker and will command a lot. Chicago and San Antonio appear to be the hottest after Gasol, but he could end up darn near anywhere because of his age, overall ability and size.
Hmmmmmmmm, That's A Dream. But I Don't Think Will Ever Happen.
But On A Positive Note: I Love That First Comment You Got On Your Sig! What Interview Did That Come From???
Outside of giving up one of the big 3, or 1st round draft picks for the next 3 years, nothing

How can San Antonio be hot after him? With what?

I would trade any combination of anyone not named Duncan and either Manu or Parker.
The chance to get a world class big man to recreate the towers does not come around often.
Just an information to start some crazy speculation : West and Paxson were in France today to watch the game between Kaunas and Pau and we all know who play at Pau. ;)
I am sure the Spurs are interested in Gasol but they will not get him without giving up at least Manu, which won't happen... I wonder where these rumors come form...
This is one of those trades where there is no way Memphis is going to get anything close to equal value.
Interesting... maybe the Spurs are in talks with Memphis about other players!? I can't imagine that they really consider trading Gasol to SA...Quote:
