Spurs staying diligent on free agent Pau Gasol, but Bulls and Thunder -- with Lakers lurking -- lead the way, sources tell Yahoo.
Have a feeling Gasol is going to either New York or Miami(if Bosh takes Houston's deal), tbh..
Chicago would be his best fit from a basketball standpoint, though..
I do believe the Spurs still have a legit chance, though..if Bosh stays in Miami, Gasol's chances of getting paid become slim, so winning becomes the priority, at that point, I would imagine..
Does Memphis still have their MLE or more, btw?..

What about this report?
I trust Woj over that dude.
McMenamin got nailed to the Tree of Woj
Can Methlahoma offer more than MLE?
Not surprised about OKC. Once the initial burst of recruitment wore away I wouldn't think Gasol would see them as a good destination. There's a weird vibe in OKC, and not just because it's in Oklahoma.
Nice! As long as they don't get him I feel good about our offseason.

Knicks not fully eliminated from Pau Gasol chase, source says. But they're far behind Bulls, OKC and Lakers. Spurs on periphery.
Only if they choose to explore a sign-and-trade using their trade exception from the Kevin Martin acquisition (~$6.5M) - but that is not likely, considering it would push them over the tax threshold and their owner has never shown a willingness to pay the tax.

I've long thought Chicago was the best choice for Gasol. They clearly need him and the coach isn't a schmuck. I'd hate if he went to OKC and I think he'd hate it too.
im starting to think pau is just using these MLE teams like SA and OKC as leverage to get a bigger deal

I think we are definitely the dark horse here.
I sure as won't get my hopes up.
FO did their job easily this year. We signed the players we want, the players know that we want them and are not our 2nd or 3rd choice, life is good.
Baynes will be a beast off the bench this year.
I would prefer Gasol just for the sole reason that foolish things happen from time to time, like when Martell Webster attacked Tim's Punisher Knee Brace and San Antonio jumped off the cliff.
However, the scenarios are out there. Currently, Pau Gasol is here in California, contemplating his next move...which means...the Spurs are still in the running. Nothing is official until he signs. The rest is pure conjecture!
The link below tells you he's thinking about his future.

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/s...eets-pau-gasolDuring Gasol's meeting with Brooks, according to a league source, the 13-year veteran peppered Brooks with questions about the quality of life in Oklahoma City and wondered aloud about leaving a culturally diverse city like Los Angeles for middle America.
If that's a concern OKC is definitely out.
OKC ahead of SA...
Gasol prefers playing with chuckers that have zero coaching I guess.
Kobe and Pringles taught him well last few years.
Why are people posting the same tweets over and over on this thread?
Well if he's looking for "cultural diversity", you can't beat the Spurs locker room.
If Pau wants to win a le he will either sign with the Spurs or Heat, if he wants to around and make bank he will sign elsewhere. Simple as that. And I don't consider OKC a le contender.
Well if he's looking for "cultural diversity", you can't beat the Spurs locker room.
Anyway... if he loves the game, he's going to take a pay-cut and sign the MLE.
Could the MLE be structured for just one year with a player option for the remaining years?
