Heat taking aim at adding Pau Gasol in an effort to retool roster and give incentive for big 3 to opt in.

smoke screen that 1 of the 3 is not going to be re-signed if they opt out...

**Clipper Nation** · 06-19-2014

Just the fact that the Heat feel the Big 3 need an incentive to opt in shows that LeBron at least has one foot out the door, tbh....

34 year old Gasol is not the answer. Role players on the bench and an interior big is what they're missing.

Does that mean Gasol will be a pure 3 point shooter now?

I will lose mad respect for Gasol if he goes to Miami to play with the Great Satan. This guy was a loser before he teamed up with God. He should atleast have some loyalty towards God since it was God who made him a winner.

Pau Gasol would be a big deal for the Heat. The Spurs were fortunate this season to be healthy all at the same time (minus Tony's ankle). Though a team cannot bank on other teams being injured, it's important to grasp that the Heat are still le contenders. They just aren't motivated to win. That's because no one on the team has an insatiable thirst for winning. There are guys who want to win everything all the time, no matter how seemingly insignificant. That's how MJ was and to an extent, Kobe and Manu. You have to have a leader who hates to lose. The Heat seemed content to lose, at least Wade didn't seem bothered by it much.

That Arash dude kept saying there's no way Dwight was leaving L.A. Just fwiw.

And why Riley was so combative and defensive in his PC yesterday. They should have paid the tax.

Joke imo. Gasol just needs to look at how few possessions Bosh gets, and he's instantly understand he'd be getting even less since he'd be playing WITH Bosh.

If he's going to go to a team for rings with little touches and little cash, he might's well just come to SA where he'll be appreciated, used properly, not be blamed for losses, and have a better chance of winning anyway.
