Probably a sign LMA is gone and Spurs need to secure a skilled big. Pau's agent probably knew that gave them leverage and used it.
So, in the end, LMA's whiny leavin' ass hurt us in multiple ways.
ing , $48 million for this piece of . I thought the whole point of coming to terms with a long term deal to get him to opt out of his one year deal was a lower contract per year. So much for rebuilding this team next year with $98 million pissed away on Mills + Gasol.
How much fo you think the other latino gets?
This place would explode of he gets anything over 6.Yeah, luckily though there was a tweet a while back saying he was going to sign for the BAE.
Kawhi pretty soon in his Tahoe
Speechless....
Who the were the Spurs bidding against when they offered that $48 million contract?
I mean what the is RC going to do next? Trade Kawhi to New York for Melo?
98 mil for Patty and Pau, sickening
Wonder if RC has to turn in his token once Pau signs the contract?
Ah I'm not even going to go to any game next year since I'd probably piss everyone off in my section by booing Gasol every time he touched the ball.
I like drunk RC over this version.

Team payroll for 2018-2019 assuming the worst and Gasol getting $16m:
$22.3m Aldridge (player option)
$20.1m Leonard
$16m Gasol
$12.5m Mills
$10m Green (player option)
$8.8m Gay (player option)
$5m White, Murray, Duncan

That's $94 million if no one opts out, but I would expect Aldridge, Green, and Gay to do so- taking off $41m.
And it we are lucky and Gasol is front loaded, then Spurs will have more than $50 million to play with next summer.
Should be enough to pay James, George, or Westbrook to team up with Leonard.
Fatty Mills and Pau Gasoft for ing $98 million. Holy .
I can't wait what drunk ass RC gives Porky next offseason. Holy ing what a terrible way to cap the summer tbh.
Prob 3 years, $85 million
To the crowd that keeps saying Pau opted out and would have taken less if CP3 was signed - that is true. What makes no sense is that because it didn't work out that he now gets 3x the money at the same rate for giving SA that flexibility.
I mean wtf. It seems like Pau said I will opt out and take less money if it means winning but if that doesn't happen I want a lot of money or Im not going to give you that flexibility.
For SA to agree to that though and so badly miscalculate their odds at landing CP3 (who didn't even hit free agency
I mean this team for mortgaging their future for useless Pau Gasol.
And $20 million per for Verde. :/
This makes absolutely no sense!!! He's 37!!!!!
The math is wrong can not be 48
Peter Holt must be spinning in his grave knowing what RC Drunkford is doing with his money.
No ing way this is 48 million

As you say, they may have gambled a bit here. (Which is something ST always wants RC to do, right?) But here's the downside of gambling. You usually lose. In order to get Pau to opt out to roll the dice for CP3, they had to entice him with a big payday if they didn't get it. Now, they had to stay true to their word.
LMA really hurt us on several fronts here. 1) He killed the chances of landing a big name FA by showing he wanted out and making the Spurs a lot less attractive. 2) The Spurs became desperate for skilled big men, and Pau's people knew it.
