Spurs contact Pau Gasol reportedly

LeBron signing for 2 with the option to opt out next season. Who's starting the thread? tbh.

Playing time and role was always a factor, IMO, and I don't blame him. A great player deserves a significant role. I'm just surprised no one found the money for him. Chicago got a steal.

Money wasn't really his concern. The Hawks offered $11 million a year. Would say [laying time and contention seemed to be his biggest concern but OKC wasn't even in the picture these last few days. I remember Memphis was on his list before the playoffs ended but they resigned Randolph and obviously Marc would start.

Aminu for Ayres and a 2nd rounder

LOL Bench

I heard from a dark guy with bright hair that benches don't matter in the playoffs, that's true isn't it?

[SpurPadre]

Yep, even he did come here, it wouldn't make the Spurs better anyway. Pau would have been nice, but the Spurs have a great chance to repeat without him.

Thing is, we've never repeated and it seems like we've always stood pat in offseasons after winning a le. We have a bullseye on our backs now. The Warriors will be better, Okc will still be Okc, Grizzlies are better, and the Rockets keep trying to make moves all while the Cavs are likely to get Love.

I'm coming home.

Sign Bonner for vet minimum and get Baynes in. The band is back!

[Reck]

Truely confirmed now. To the bulls.

Honestly, I'm satisfied with the 5 les. Sure a repeat would be nice, but it's whatever to me. Still, the Spurs have a great chance to repeat. If they don't, #5 is still there to appreciate.

Kyle Anderson looks pretty damn good, and another year of experience for Leonard, Splitter, Mills, Diaw, and Baynes is a plus. Gasol used the Spurs as leverage, but he did it to get himself less money, which pretty much proves he never seriously entertained the idea of going to them.

[Malik Hairston]

As many of us said, Gasol to Chicago makes by far the most sense..they offer him much more than the Spurs could, tbh..

Getting touches/having a big role is a huge priority for him..

People, do you ever learn? I mean seriously. It's the Spurs/OKC and then everyone else. No other team is a threat. Not even close. It was the Clips, then Golden state, then Rockets/Blazers this past season, they're pretenders. All of them. Just chill the out. We got Ayres. You can't teach his kind of hustle.

[UnWantedTheory]

Bron for 2 years? So if they suck he can bail again?

Anywho, we lost out on Pau. Big whoop.

Yeah, thank goodness for Ayers.

[RD2191]

Yeah, thank goodness for Ayers.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

[wildcardX]

We better be on the phone with Baynes and Bonner right now. lol Let's get them back and then find a team to take Errors.

Any team that can take Errors off the Spurs hands is icing on the cake for this offseason.

[BatManu20]

Bron took 2 years because the cap is going to be higher in 2016. Max money will be greater then than now. He's committed long-term to the Cavs. He'll retire there. He wouldn't dare leave again.

[jeebus]

33 pages based on a pipe dream. Nice.

[UnWantedTheory]

I have no idea why people hate on Ayers. He did alot for this team last year. He definitely lit a fire under the other players ass when he sucked so bad they had no choice but to step it up.

[UnWantedTheory]

Ahhhhh. Makes sense about Bron now.

Trading Ayres would be a successful addition by subtraction, come on new Orleans aminu for that clown

[Spurs9]

Mama there goes that man.

Kevin Ding: From Pau Gasol (in Spanish): After meditating so much, I decided to play the Chicago Bulls. Very excited to live this new stage. Twitter kevinDing

Someone needs to tell Pau -- Phil is not the coach there anymore.

Thought maybe they were showcasing Ayres for a potential trade when he started the game last night.

Then he st an illegal screen in the first minute and fumbled two passes out of bounds. Any provisional second round picks out there?
