Woj: Pau Gasol to opt out and re-sign long-term with Spurs

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I was laughing that people get "upset" that fuzzy using "big" words and ya get mad and start crying like little es.

Fuzzy definitely making an impression on these cucks.

A guy that admits he comes to a message board online to interact with people just to be annoying and "play the heel" seems to think I'm the weirdo for making friends ?

Fuzzy tbh...

All this talk and the Spurs probably aren't dumping Parker.

You should be laughing because every time Fuzzy uses a big word, you have to run to Google dictionary to look up its meaning so you know how to respond to his post.

[SAGirl]

Ha ha ha! I like both you guys and like it even more when you two quibble. Keep it going!
DPG also...

I don't know.... Fuzzy seems to just be a contrarian, and doesn't really write anything that contributes to the conversation... kind of a waste of time.

Yes, I need to google the meaning of big words.

Careful using those "big" word, you're going to blow dabom's mind.

Shots fired

[dabom]

I don't think sagirl should be talking about people that contribute, seeing as how she stans fathead. She really a troll.

[coachmac87]

"Hi, I'm FuzzyLumpkins and I'm a gargantuan asshole"

[dabom]

Let me put this bluntly, if sagirl is agreeing to your cause, you're probably wrong.

Jesus Christ, tbh..

Lol it isn't even the topic of the thread...
I was asking what Spurs could do with mostly standing pat and some cap Pau opened up by opting out. Guys said nothing really unless Spurs dump TP.

1. I don't think Pop wants to dump him to begin with... they expect him back in some shape or form.
2. Even less, Pop is not going to consider attaching sweeteners .... they don't want to part with a pick to dump a player they like
3. The draconian measures are only in place only for CP3, anyone else and they will be conservative and sacrifice maybe Simmons bc he's looking for big deal... (and frankly who knows what he will get, the market for PG is saturated but wings are in demand and in the recent two off-seasons wings who can defend and have some offensive game have gotten massive overpayments -- Evan Turner, C.Parsons, H.Barnes, Kent Bazemore, Demarre Carroll, etc all of these role players)...

Last time I checked this is Spurs Talk where every other account is an alt. I didn't make the game. I just play it. When I want civil Spurs discourse I got to reddit.

And this schtick is a means to an end. People that actually do know what they are talking about put me straight with the truth. I give chinook a lot of but at least he has the balls to engage me intellectually.

It certainly plays on people's insecurities. You end up with people that get tied up into moral relativism like I see here with you. You appealing to your supposed authority over and again is hilarious. The people lining up to take pot shots and avoid the debate are not accomplishing what they hope.

At the end of the day though I cajoled all kinds of examples of salary dumps in modern history and now we have a good idea collectively what the market is like. That is what I am here for.

I am comfortable now that if we want to dump TP's ty contract we won't be able to do it for our first rounder until next Spring. It's not happening in the next 10 days.

Lin is actually an excellent baseline and we don't meet that cost in the discussion to this point. Giving up both picks and Kyle Anderson is equivalent to what netter a $8.3m dump.

Why would they go that route?

They would do it if they're dumb enough to like Pau and pretend that he won't fall apart and be terrible.

They've done dumb deals below. The 07 summer was full of them.

Pau does it to lock in money after 17-18 and guard against injury. He knows the market for a 38 year old zero pick-and-roll defense antique will be crap. This way he can lock in near MLE​ money for the extra 2 years to get him to 40 if it's a 3/36 deal.

Factor in the injury risk all old players carry ... Pau did witness Parker explode his thigh just by jumping ... Pau can opt out and have the leverage on the Spurs who won't keep Dedmon and are too timid to just rely on Milutinov if he even comes over.

And the Spurs are just the team to buy into it. Pau's so smart, such a veteran winner ... Gotta bring him back like a 7 foot lazy Finley.

I don't think this is about Gasol or Spurs affinity for him, so much as it is upgrading at PG. Paul might still be a stretch, but Hill isn't.

If they land one of them, it'll be well worth is to have Gasol for an extra season or two, at lesser money. It might not even change anything in that regard, because they might have eventually re-signed him for 1-2 years even had he opted in.

He has no leverage on Spurs. Market for C's is oversaturated. Aldridge can play it more and they'd be fine with any of Dedmon, Baynes or Reed starting, with Splitter and possibly 29 as backups.

Dabom repertoire is emoticons.... basically he will only understand if I post this:

[tonight...you]

Same way chinook is tbh.

Not going to argue... yet I still like the person.

I disagree. The cat may make you bristle, but he's a good poster. He just has a bit of a Holier-Than-Thou voice, but he brings goods of a nature that should be appreciated, even in it's bristliness. I know I made up that word.

Lol. To each his own I suppose.

True. Nothing to stress about.

[YGWHI]

Don't get why the Spurs would give Pau a long-term contract when after 2018, they will be able to sign every player they want...Don't give an old guy a 2-3 year contract!!
