Along those lines, except that nothing is official, and except for the fact that Gasol is an all-NBA player and one of the top bigs in the NBA..
So the Spurs took note and learned and got themselves something for cap space like LA did.
Do Spurs fans still cry over the Gasol deal? SA actually gave up less for RJ than LA for Gasol.
Just wondering....

Gasol was traded for picks (which could fail), unproven talent which never played on the grizzlies, and marc gasol who while a promising young project, is not an all-nba all-star definitive #2 type guy and probably never will be.
seriously. going to be interesting hearing spurs fans try and make excuses. on the other hand cant wait for matchup #1. i doubt they play us on opening night. probably gonna be the rockets or something. maybe nuggets.
Gasol wasn't All-NBA until he got to LA."What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension," he told SI.com "There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense. I just wish I had been on a trade committee that oversees NBA trades. I'd like to elect myself to that committee. I would have voted no to the L.A. trade."
I'm just saying. Props to the Spurs realizing they had to get down or lay down. Better than then crying about what other teams did.
Like a homeless man's version.
It would be the equivalent of the Gasol trade if it involved Al Jefferson.
Gasol>>>>>>>>>Jefferson, Gasol is a very talented 7 footer.
RJ isn't as good as Gasol though so that evens out somewhat. Regardless, it's a fair point by you. The deals are similar.So the Spurs took note and learned and got themselves something for cap space like LA did.

sweet!!!!
the comparison is not even close...
but by laker fans already ing about the move, that goes to show that
it was in fact a lob sided trade for the lakers..
Gasol is a lot better. But they at least gave up Gasol(Marc) to get Pau. I wont cry myself to sleep over this deal. I still think LA and a couple other teams in the West are better than SA.
Lol.
1) Jefferson is more athlete than basketball player. Gasol has an unprecedented B-ball IQ
2) Jefferson will never make an all-star team
3) Acquiring a guy whose name seems to be permanently engraved in the All-NBA defensive 1st team and two serviceable big-men who are all in the final year of their contract hardly equals Kwame Brown and two late picks.
So basically the Spurs gave up more than the Lakers and got back less.
If Danny Ferry or Sam Presti made this deal, you might have an argument.
Gasol >>>> Jefferson
Gasol = worth max contract
Jefferson <= Turkoglu. Turkoglu made $7M this season. Jefferson made $13.2M

Psst it's called an expiring contract. You know that valuable little chip everyone is trading for recently? You know that thing called cap space...

Those who cried about it will always cry about something.
Me, I am just happy the Spurs FO did something for a change!
Equal to Gasol???So the Spurs took note and learned and got themselves something for cap space like LA did.

I'll tell you what, why don't we give you Jefferson and we'll take Gasol.
Yeah, it was definitely a salary dump, so in that there are some similarities, but in no way would I call this equal.

I never believed in the collusion crap. It's just financially healthy franchises taking advantage of less healthy franchises.
RJ isn't half the player Gasol is.
Like I said before, props to the Spurs realizing they had to get down or lay down. Better than then crying about what other teams did.
Gotta pay the cost to be the boss. I'm glad SA did because no way were they on LA's level before this. It now gives LA a compe or to watch out for that they respect.
Not saying that RJ is as good as Pau but you gotta recognize its the same principle.
Now if the Spurs can get Durant from the Thunder for peanuts, that would have collusion written all over it.
What exactly did the Spurs give up? 3 over the hill players? Both teams made moves to make their team better.
