Would you make this trade

Even if it had the potential to make the Spurs better, I think I'd rather see LA continue to struggle.

We don't need a pussy in a Spurs uniform. Pass.

Think of Pau as a more experienced, more refined, more proven version of our very own Tiago Splitter. Both are European finesse players with a great touch close to the basket. If we bring in Gasol, that gives us a dominant center in both our starting and bench units.

No disrespect to Splitter, I like him, but Pau is the much superior player, much more talented. He's not in the best shape now, menatally especially, and it's easy to forget what a force he was in the Lakers le years and with Spain. If Lakers are dealing him for Jack, Splitter and fillers, then Pop will jump at the offer, make no mistake. Sad reality is they'll get a star player for him even if his trade value is at an all time low right now.

As much as I'd love to see Pau Gasol in Spurs uniform, the $38 million over 2 years just doesn't make it a sensible move.

Rumors are out that hes finally gone to management and demanded a trade
given his current value it could be possible to pull it off since they might be desperate to get rid of him
Lakers have made it known they only want expirers/guys whose contract ends in 2014 so they can live their pipedream of landing lebron in free agency

Spurs get rid of the useless depth and get an elite frontcourt
Lakers get depth/elite 3 point shooting for D'antonis system

Spurfan wont land a free agent with their capspace like they think they can (see 2003) and getting a still elite but misused PF for one year who turns into a huge expiring contract the next when the spurs should be done contending is about as good as they could hope for

If they were willing to throw in their lottery pick this year as a sweetener, I would seriously consider it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot that pick belongs to Phoenix.

Pop is at this trade.

Okay what if we did this straight up??

The worst thing that can happen is that we get another great Towel-Waver a la Patrick Mills and that Splitter/Duncan have a big body to work against during Practice.

Why would the Grizzlies do that?

Detroit's not playing Jerebko and Bonner helps Drummond develop

Never realized Sjax was on the books for 10 mill

Gasol >>>>>>> DWest.

You 'd also have to renounce as many players as Gasol would cost you to get down to the cap.

Before the lockout, Gasol had made 3 straight All NBA teams.

Both are OLD. NO to both.
