He'd be a nice addition, but not for the money he'll want.
AlexKennedyNBA: In an interview with http://t.co/K3B8ybZMdR, Pau Gasol mentioned the Lakers, Grizzlies, Bulls, Spurs as options he'll consider this summer.

do it Mitch.
Spurs would be a shock to him after LA fans been throwing him under the bus.
Most likely destination is Memphis, though I don't know their cap situation.
leverage talk
Would only get him IF Spurs manages to get the 5th. Other than that it's really questionable since you should get Gasol to make a run than build on him.
I could see him going to Memphis to play alongside his brother. Why not?
Would only want the team to consider him if Duncan retired.
Who would we let go for him? I guess if Duncan retires then maybe, but no way he'd replace Duncan or Splitter. Maybe Diaw?
He doesn't fit with the Spurs, at all, tbh..
Memphis makes the most sense from a basketball standpoint.. Chicago, as well..
Bad fit for Spurs. Thunder need him badly, and he'd be a great fit with Bulls as well.
Next year it's possible that we'll need a starting PF.
He's not a PF he's a center who needs the low post for himself and who cant defend most PFs...
a lot of guy will be mentioned and on the end of the day no one will come. Can't wait for another Kirilenko type thread.
We don't have a 4th big. We have Duncan, Splitter, and Diaw. Baynes is up and down and ayers..well is ayers. Getting Gasol would be great for this team. He's tougher than splitter and Diaw on the defensive end and can match either offensively. Why wouldn't you want him is the question..
, what?..
Basically. Spurs won't be willing to give him the kind of money he's asking for either. Not to mention, SA is probably the worst fit of all the teams mentioned.
Essentially Duncan. That's why he'd only be an option if Tim retires. Pau could come in an pretty much play the same role with Splitter doing his usual cross-matches and Diaw backing them up. Pau's not the shot-blocker Tim is, but he's a more diverse offensive player, so hopefully, it'd even out somewhat.
Pau not Marc. Pass the joint. Tbh.
Rofl, homie must be on some good .
Yea, I was in the same mind set until I watched him push Duncan around the last game they played. Didn't take his defense seriously...ya know..after the whole..Griffin impregnating him thing. Then.. I started to check the tape instead of the highlights. He constaly switches to help defense with an actual contest(diaw).. He doesn't let pgs post him up(Splitter Im looking at you)... He is a system player.. likes his points off the system, instead of creating. Just seems like a good fit. Wouldn't be the savior like Richard Jefferson was for us.. but .. it's a good fit. Leonard is our best shot blocker outside of Tim. He could help with that.
Mnky, Pau Gasol not his brother Marc Gasol. Are you okay?
Did you know Dirk and Paul Gasol have the same career defensive rating? Food for thought. tbh.
Lol. Too much wrong with your post. Essentially, Leonard's not the second-best shot-blocker on the team and Gasol is not a good PnR defender at all. He's still a smart player and can get in appropriate position. But he just doesn't have the foot-speed anymore. He's Duncan on defense without the shot-blocking.
