46 points and 18 rebounds against the Bucks and some fellows didn't want to spend the MLE on Gasol
Dude is pretty much carrying the Bulls to the playoffs along with Jimmy Butler.
A great fundamental player works anywhere. No wonder the Spurs FO wanted him. Too bad he chose the Bulls.
He's 34 years old, he has no more than 2 years left in the NBA. He averages 3 more points than 39 years old TD46 points and 18 rebounds against the Bucks and some fellows didn't want to spend the MLE on Gasol

Some people were arguing if he would fit
A fundamental guy that doesn't rely on athleticism has no more than 2 years left in the NBA?He's 34 years old, he has no more than 2 years left in the NBA. He averages 3 more points than 39 years old TD
19ppg/11rpg not worth MLE money
Were any of those people Mike D'Antoni?Some people were arguing if he would fit
Wonder if the Spurs might have been able to afford Pau if they salary dumped a useless player like Marco or Ayres
It was him turning them done
Just imagining: TD/Splitter/BoBo/Pau. The centers should average more assist than Parker/Cojo/Mills.
No. We're WELL over the cap. Dumping any player doesn't give us more than just the MLE to spend. We offered all we could.
I never thought it was about money with him... he wants to be the marquee offensive player, and Chicago gave him that. He wouldn't have had the same role with the Spurs, so I doubt he would've signed with us.
I said last season he still had plenty left in the tank, but let's be realistic here, playing in the East is a good booster for him too.
Spurs offered all they could. As Exstatic said, MLE was all they could offer. He didn't want to come here. I have no idea why you guys even bothered bumping this thread. He had a chance to come here and form one of the best front lines in the NBA, but he turned us down. I don't give a about him.
I would have been all over him had Tim retired. But he just made no sense for the team as currently constructed. That's true no matter how he performs elsewhere. However, the team that should be sick right now is OKC. It make all the sense in the world to S&T for him, but they dropped the ball.
i dont see any reason why the spurs acquiring Pau for the MLE would have been a bad thing
He was never going to take a reduced role here, I don't know why people still deny that
Gasol plays unselfish basketball and likes ball movement, but he also cares about his minutes and touches, too..
, with the way he's played this year, i'd be glad to give him minutes and touchesHe was never going to take a reduced role here, I don't know why people still deny that

tbh I'd start gasol and bring Timmy D off the bench. It was the right thing to do IMO. oh well...
Shouldn't be ignored that this is the worst Bulls' defense of the Thibodeau era, btw
Duncan/Gasol would have probably been just as bad as Noah/Gasol defensively, tbh..
Noah having a down year, Butler carrying the load offensively playing 40 min/game and not having Deng has way more to do with the Bulls struggles defensively tbh
Unless my fellows believe that Boozer was the reason that CHI was godlike defensively
Still can't find a reasonable reason to deny Gasol for the MLE. SAS FO wanted him, so we have to assume that they know what they're doing like 99% of the time.
If Pop and RC knew he would fit, I am not be the one against it. He chose the chance to win + money and unfortunately SA didn't have more than the MLE to offer, while CHI did. Can't blame him.
What I love the most about Gasol having an all-star year at the age of 34 is the fact that he is taking a massive on Lakers fans that were glad that he was gone.

Pau still > Nic Vecevic
tbh
Funny thing is that we see a lot of Spurs fans saying the same thing about Timmy this season right here on ST
Noah - 7ppg / 9rpg @ 47%TS with a 14PER
Butler starting the season - 22ppg / 6rpg @ 48%FG 34% from 3p
Butler last 15 games. 15ppg / 5rpg @ 39%FG / 33% from 3.
Hinrich logging almost 30 minutes a game with 7ppg/2apg @ 48%TS and a PER of 7 (98 ORTG and 109 DRTG) Belineli/Neal are stars compared to him
A coach that refuses to rest his players even in garbage time.
But let's blame Gasol now that we're struggling, who's having an all-star season for 7m/year and pretty much saved our asses in the start of the season.
Yeah, dumb fans will be dumb anywhere.

Woah Noah's stats.
Wasn't he the Center for all-nba 1st team last season?
Yes, and all-defensive first team and DPOY.
Except for Gobert, pretty much all french guys are having a tough year. Noah, Parker, Diaw, Batum
