Spurs contact Pau Gasol reportedly

[ace3g]

How the does CHI have ""6.5M" to offer Pau in the event there is no S&T?

Yeah, wondering the same thing

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Now they're saying Dunleavy isn't in the deal. Boozer to Houston?

Yep. Morey got ed over this year. Paying the tax for Boozer. Wow, and there goes upgrading the roster. 32 mil bn him and Parsons. Lost Asik, lost Lin, lost a 1st rounder, and instead of paying Parson 2 mil this year, he gets to pay him 15 mil.

Sour grapes. I didnt think any team would take Boozers contract for nothing. Leave to the guy that got the most this offseason. Even Riley didn't get ed this bad.

Wonder who Chicago gives up to make space, even expendables kill what little bench they have

LOL Bench

[SpurPadre]

There isn't one just yet, they're still working out the details of the sign and trade but Woj is saying its almost done.

I know its not necessarily their style or maybe it happened behind closed doors, but I kind of wished Pop, RC, and the players made more of a pitch to Gasol. Its nice to feel appreciated and hear more from a team if they want to recruit you especially if you're taking almost 25% of your last contract to play for them.

Outside of drafting and trading for players, we basically have to hold players' families on ransom in order for them to play for the team. We have all the championship pedigree, coaching honor, and inviting style of play any pro-basketball player can hope for but because they don't play in a glitzy environment, they're not cool enough to play for.

Now they're saying Dunleavy isn't in the deal. Boozer to Houston? If Houston doesn't help they can wait for a boozer amnesty or just get pau themselves

Yep and got him at a steep discount. Morey and again Cuban, thanks again for in that prick over.

Eh?

Do you think anyone actually thinks this guy is real?

You guys can hate on Ayers if you want, but he, and Matt Bonner for that matter, did their jobs. They played a lot of minutes in the regular season, allowing Pop to keep Duncan fresh. Didn't Duncan lead the Spurs in playoff minutes?

It really does paint a big fat smiley face on this offseason for me.

I hope jag realizes that we all know tspence is just yanking our chain. Does jag actually think we're taking this guy as a credible source?

5.3M in SA compared to ~6.5M in Chicago is not a huge difference.

He led them in RS minutes, as well.

Chicago is only suppose to have the MLE in non S&T scenarios though. So not sure where this 6.5 fig is coming from.

[look_at_g_shred]

I thought it was pre-determined that if a sign and trade were not possible, he'd choose the spurs. Can't believe it all I guess..

Bulls in the process of finalizing a free agent deal with Pau Gasol. Will not be a sign-and-trade with Lakers, sources told ESPN.

[TXstbobcat]

It sucks not getting Gasol but at least I got paid for reading this thread for 8 hours at work today. Definitely made the work day go by fast.

Illinois also has a flat 5% state income tax.

This makes no sense. If the above is the case, then he will make less money to go to the Bulls.

[beirmeistr]

6.5 million minus state tax

[RD2191]

So he just flat out chose the Bulls?

[Duncan2177]

Gasol is an idiot.

[HI-FI]

seems shady. Lakers always seem to be involved too.

Who are they dumping to create cap space? Pau is not smart

Maybe he is a hacker and he has been hacking these guy phones. All his predictions today have been right. These hackers nowadays have some advance shot they use.
