the spurs should end free agency today. Save any money left over for next year to re-sign players. Our squad is solid. With development and another year in system, CJ, Austin D, Jeff, A and Anderson should all be great bench players.
Intriguing.
Would like to have Marc play here.

Always room to improve. And this may very well be Duncan and Manu's final ride. Need to do everything in our power to get better, if the opportunity presents itself. If a talent like Gasol is interested, you try.
Gasol at the MLE is a no brainer. Even if it didn't work out he'd be hilariously easy to move with that salary
It comes down to a matter of minutes for all the bigs. Ideally you want to rest players that need it during the regular season. That's actually what happened this past year. And it's always about being healthy and/or playing well in the post season. The Spurs weren't fortunate to not play Houston or Golden State. Right before the Portland series I said the Blazers had no idea what was about to hit them. I would have said the same about either Houston or Golden State. To take out OKC in 6 games is about right for a team like that. You're not going to sweep them.
Don't get me wrong I'd love Gasol on the team but either Diaw or Splitter will get their minutes cut. Especially with small ball. You don't add a player like Gasol for insurance purposes.
I said he wants to work for it, not freeload. That would assume a player with a level of value to add.
After the redemption of this past year, 6 has a whole new meaning for me tbqh. The "other" 6 has been erased and replaced.You mean the good 6, right?
As Heat used MLE on McRoberts, they are probably out of race for Gasol?
thunder,spurs,bulls who else?
Knicks
In the Spur system, a 34 year old Gasol could probably come in and play Duncan's role for the next 3 or 4 years. He's got the mid range and he can post up when needed. He's long enough to be a shot blocking factor and about as mobile as Duncan. Maybe he doesn't have all the same tricks, but he's close enough. I thought getting him would not be likely, but with the Heat signing McRoberts and Melo likely to go back to the Knicks or sign with Chicago if he wants to have a chance to win the le, then Gasol really has no better options. Why not sign with S.A. and contend for les on a great team with a great coach instead of playing with an injured Kobe and Nash for a team that won't make the playoffs?
They could still dump Bosh and make a run for Gasol.
They are going to make the argument that playing in the finals is guaranteed in the Eastern conference.
we should just go over the cap and sign gasol. the spurs had to have made a killing with two finals in two years. , the finals tickets were about 6 or7 times the normal season price. im sure we can afford it
Can't pay more than the MLE under the CBA.
i hate explaining this to laker fans here
"bro we'll just go over the cap and pay tax. money isn't a problem"
What can the Thunder offer Gasol? Is the max the MLE?
If we can offer the same I think its a toss up. The Thunder have a bigger need for him, more defined role, more minutes. OTOH we have a better style for Pau's game - superior passing and team ball. The international factor has to help too.
I don't think Gasol would be that happy in OKC tbh. Do you think Gasol would actually be friends with dbags like Westbrook? Come on lol
His playing time would be less in SA, but I'm not sure his role would be less than in OKC. He's barely going to get touches there. Not just shot, but touches period. Westbrook and Durant hate letting other players make plays. It'd be like playing with two Kobes. And not in a good way.
In SA, Gasol gets rewarded for making an effort and getting open, plus would be allowed to make plays and thrive. I think he would be happier in SA on and off the court than anywhere else except on payday.
the only real contender that can offer pau more than the MLE is Houston, but i don't know if he wants to go play alongside Dwight again... he's also probably the rockets backup backup backup plan
lol @ Gasol if he decides to go from kirby to westbrick
How?get real
It all depends if Gasol is more concerned with winning and being around teammates he can stand or getting that money.
ZERO ING CHANCE Pau comes to sa
but these stupid threads gets everyone hyped up
Weren't you the one that started the Gasol signing troll thread saying you felt like he was coming? Why haven't you been banned already?
