He will be a Knick
Lost in the Spurs' destruction of the Lakers earlier was how well Pau Gasol played, putting up 18-11-4 in only 26 minutes. We'd probably have to give up re-signing Boris Diaw to get him, but a Duncan-Gasol-Splitter frontcourt would easily be one the best, if not the best, in the NBA.
He will be a Knick
I would love Gasol at ours. Classy player, massive general an b-ball intelligence, great character.
No idea how realistic a target he is tho. I'm guessing not realistic at all.
He is indeed better than Boris but he will come at double or close to 2.5 times Boris' cost. Spurs can refurbish other areas with Boris. Can't happen with Gasol.
He plays NO defense, and hasn't for two years. We ran a layup/dunk train on LA last night.
Not a fit. Boris is also younger and more versatile.
I think he may be a viable target, depending on the spurs offseason priorities, $$, etc.
I doubt he would sign with the Spurs, but I always thought Pau's game would fit perfectly with the team. I know others will laugh at this, but even Nash, for the right price, would be fun to have coming off the bench. I think both players would have a lot of fun playing for the Spurs.
He's going to Memphis next season
Gasol brothers AND Zach Randolph down low? That'd be a deadly combo!
MVPau would be a great addition but he'll be too expensive and have my doubts that a Gasol/Duncan frontcourt would work in today's NBA tbh.
MVPau is crossing the hallway at Staples, tbh, just have a gut feeling.... he'd be great on the Spurs, though....
Memphis can't afford that. They're small market like us. They could probably afford Pau IF they got rid of Randolph, AND worked a sign and trade with LA. Their salary is $69M with Randolph, and $52M without. They won't have any cap room.
He couldn't stop Brittany Griner
Are you guys serious? Have you seen him try and guard the pick and roll nowadays? It's worse than it was last year, and last year he was garbage at it.
No please he sucks Im not saying Pau will be RJ 2.0 but he´s very close with a garbage contract too.
NO. MORE. OLD. S.
I don't think he is unless he takes a significant paycut to come here. If he wants a ring, there are other places he could go too like the other LA team. After all, if he came here, I'm not sure what the Spurs would do with Splitter. . .start Gasol and play Tiago off the bench? Or would Gasol actually come off the bench? I kinda doubt it because Pau is the type to complain about minutes and his role if it isn't large enough.
Boris > Gasol at this point tbh
I forgot, who did we get Boris from?
He was waived by the Bobcats, right, after being traded there from the Suns?

Thinking Gasol cares about rings at this point. Dude just wants to stat pad and get paid.
Only if Splitter is traded or Duncan surprises everyone and retires imo tbqh fwiw.
He played for some time in Charlotte and enjoyed that Carolina BBQ a little too much. Funny how you can go from being (mutually) cut by the worst team in the league to playing in crunch time in the NBA Finals. Same goes for Green I guess ... Cleveland was awful post-Lebron.
