Pau blocks shots b/c players challenge him otherwise I've seen him waving in players to the paint like D-West when he ISN'T at the rim: http://www.blogabull.com/2015/12/30/...-good-defender

Gaysol is still a loser
Ill post some later once im off work and not using my phone
Thanks for this bruh.
Analytics is decent if used with the right context. I've watched the bulls heavilly this year and my god is he terrible.
Apa claimed he was "one of the worst rim protectors" this year. The first point of your article is that he's a great rim protector and "doesn't get enough credit for his ability to alter shots at the rim"
My initial statement was that he's been solid this year defensively, particular when it comes to rim protection. Yes, he's poor in the PnR, but so is Duncan. That article talks about a lack of lateral movement...there's no way Gasol can be any slower than Duncan
As for rotations, I heard a lot of the same stuff about Aldridge. A lot of rotating has to do with team defense and trusting your teammates. I don't think it's crazy to assume that he would improve in that aspect if he came here. Besides, again, I see a lot of that same stuff in those Vines from Duncan. When you can't move fast enough, sometimes it just makes more sense to stay in rebounding position as opposed to trying to sprint to contest a shot that you won't get to anyways.
Again, I'm not claiming that he's going to come here and be an elite defender. There will obviously be a decline going from Duncan to Pau. I just don't think he's some awful defender like people here are claiming. I think he could be an above average defender playing center for us.
Sorrry
Pop will choose Red Mamba over Pau
He is one of the worst. Rim protection isnt just about when players drive into you. When he actually is suppose to rim protect out of baseline protection and when the guards arent trying to him. He usually just flails his arm around like a ballerina. Thats' 50% of rim protection.Apa claimed he was "one of the worst rim protectors" this year.

He's a poor PNR defender and an even worse "Rim Protector".
At least now you know how misguided those stats you just posted.
Every decent modern analyst out there has called him out of his atrocious defense. And we are talking Bout guys who love advanced metrics
IF tim retires then he be a good pickup but if he don't then I don't see him on the roster next yr
damn, you watch the bulls more than the spurs tbh
guess it's whiteside or bust then.
This thread will never die
Better than the Jimmer thread, though.
The thing is that the LMA/Pau frontline is unplayable against the Duds, the team the Spurs have to get past for the foreseeable future. I wouldn't mind him in D-West's spot especially if Boban goes elsewhere. Replacing West/Boban/Tim w/ Pau/Noah would be feasible as far as cap space is concerned but I don't think either one would be willing to come off the bench.
Assuming, D-West opts-in then it would make more sense to go after a defensive minded/mobile big like Noah to play alongside LMA then use the remaining cap space on a combo guard like Fournier to replace Manu.
Screw Pau Gasol tbh. He had his chance to come, he can be banished on the waiver wires and skip from team to team for the rest of his career. Spurs don't need him anyway.
If it's for the minimum, why not?
this Asian racist ass mother er. He had his chance and he blew it. tspence, too, by the way.
Why. I didn't think Jerry would do what he did, cut Boozer and ate his 18mil a year contract all just to give Gasol 2.5 mil more than the Spurs could offer. But this ensured a staring role for Gasol.
Jerry made the moves to lure Gasol. The Spurs just promised him a significant role as a bench player. I don't blame Gasol one bit for going to the Bulls. He had a better shot at the le during the time, as the West was really strong at the time, and the East was a cake walk outside of Miami. Bulls have just been injury ridden during his time there.
As a replacement to West or Duncan, Gasol would be a welcome addition. He is poor man's version of Duncan albeit still a superstar and a middle-tier all-time great at his position.

Did someone just say Boban>Gasol. You s, never change.
Pau gives us another big however is he gonna want to come off the bench....? He knew he effed up going to Chi-town.....but with Noah looming into FA, and D. Rose health you know this team is gonna suck....hes not used to that....our blessing is that we got LMA.
Question is is he worth it? or should we pursue Durant?
Anything can happen this offseason the question is who wants to play down here....we have an elite team what more do they want?
.
For sure
This was possibly posted in that other Pau thread, who gives a .
