Again, your reasoning is fairly limited. And again, trying to characterize this as an exclusive list is folly.
Just saying something along the lines of wanting to play for competing teams would have sufficed. Providing a short list of teams you'd like to play for just seems to be limiting his market, which isn't a good move if you want to have bidding.
Due to the Lakers cap situation, they can execute a sign and trade and just get back draft picks/trade exception, and they likely wouldn't want to take on contracts from other teams (look at the sign and trades Miami executed to get bosh/james). Thus even in a sign and trade spot, its unlikely that these contending teams are going to be able to offer more cash than they would have via free agency anyway.
Again, your reasoning is fairly limited. And again, trying to characterize this as an exclusive list is folly.
Pau has Mark Cuban offseason failure consolation prize written all over him. I wouldn't want him for more than 14m over two years so no.
Pau wouldn't want to be our 4th big and would certainly want more than 4th big money. Unless TD retires or we let Diaw walk it's a no go.
Wondering if the firing of MikeD has him intrigued about returning to the Lakeshow... it's his last potentially big contract, so I expect him to follow the money. That's why I don't think the Spurs are a real candidate.
Uh, didn't Phoenix offered a second rounder? Clearly Pau is a hot commodity.lol driving up his price...cause there were so many takers last year
.
Do you mean MLE or a sign-and-trade?
Could be anything tbh.
Pau. He got paid 19 mil a yr and played like . I don't care who was his in coach. He re - signs for no more than 3 million or he can go himself.
Spurs don't really need him and his defense ain't what it used to be. If this was 2010 I'd say yes but for 2015 I'll pass, he's not MVPau anymore
MVPau would still be a great fit offensively with the spurs. His defense has nosedived the last couple of seasons though, not sure if it's a motivation issue or age.
If the former, sign him up. Not like there are skilled bigs in the league available anyways.
Exclusive or not, shrinking your market is not really a bargaining chip
in fairness, i don't remember much being done by the agent at the time, they just gave the max straight away. Different times.
This would be funny: Pau signs with SA. Pop, Tim and Manu retire. Mike D becomes the new head coach. Now Pau is playing for Mike again but he'd still make the playoffs with the rest of that roster.
Who says thos will actually shrink his market? Dude doesn't want to play in Cleveland.
Well, you can look at the rest of his client list. Seems to do pretty well for them.
To sign Pau if he wanted to come here, who leaves to get the $10-15 mill he would get?
but 48.5
He's one of the closest things to Duncan in the league. Of course he would be a good fit, I don't understand the people that say that he isn't. A bigmen rotation of Duncan, Splitter, Diaw and Pau would be something else. The problem of course is the money and Gasol being willed to come off the bench and play no more than 25 minutes per game.
What about Pau's age? Why not spend the money on someone younger? We are too old is all you hear on the boards
here now they want old Pau.
No lie I'd be satisfied with a Semi-Pro trade that netted us a washing machine in return. Same impact, at a much cheaper cost.
yeah... announcing a short list of teams you want to play for is typically not how one goes about driving up his asking price
Since when are the bulls a championship level team?
He's gonna need a hand holder to do a in' thing.Since when are the bulls a championship level team?
Seeing as the Lakers were on that list and had the wherewithal to sign him for a lot of money to keep him from a compe or -- it could.
Maybe not typical, but most people just don't come out and say "whoever pays me the most."
