After getting burned on one promising Euroleague player, I'm not sure it's smart to try and pursue another one right away. That sounds like a headache to me.
I know right.........but do you think the Memphis owner is that stupid to let this go to the Spurs for Oberto and a Raulito Navaira brisket plate? We could send our Alcoholic owner, pop and his wine collection, Demarr Johnson to hang out with him for a night of partying and hopefully we could get him to sign the trade! lol

Can the Spurs borrow Jerry West? If so the Spurs might be able to get Gasol for two used cascarones and a half eaten tortilla.
Grizzlies owner WILL NOT do any business with the Spurs. Book it!
Splitter may burn the Spurs because they can't (according to league rules) pay him much money compared to staying in Europe. He'd have to be semi-crazy to leave $5 million per year on the table to come play in the US.
Marc Gasol, on the other hand, has every reason to come to the US including the lure of the NBA, his family living here and the money. Yup, anybody signing him can pay whatever they want since he was a second rounder. So he can get a nice contract if a team really wants him. He'll still take a paycut but not much of one compared to what he'd get in Spain.
Marc is a smart type player who can probably help his team in the first year while possibly coming at a somewhat cheap price (I assume since he's still basically a rookie). You wouldn't need to get rid of a star player to get him even though he's basically a top 10 draft pick in this year.
At the same time, I'm not sure the Grizzlies would consider parting with him.

Glad you get the Borchardt joke...
Marc Gasol > Splitter > Curtis Borchardt.
More seriously, I'm not high at all on Marc Gasol, he is quite a big stiff.
I think that Splitter will be way better than him in NBA if both decides to come there?
Marc is a warrior.
Before Japan'06 (where he became a REAL player, not 'The Brother'), he was in Barcelona. He was extremely fat and depressed.
When Spanish team picked him for Japan, he changed. He turned into a warrior, he started to show his real game.
After that, he went to Girona -he has stayed there until today-, and he become a monster -11 week MVP, breaking the record of Sabonis-.
I trust in him.
Pras e, chto vy skazAli? Nam nUzhen perevOdchik.Sasi mooy hui, peezdietz!Мне надо идти.
young Gasol is a copycat of Pau
he can score but, SOFT.
defensively, Splitter >Marc Gasol
I don't like the name Gasol on the Spur's stat sheets
NEXT option pls.
