There aren't any great centers on championship level teams, so I think he will be fine defensively (honestly ANYONE is better on defense than "no effort Pau")...
He will provide good spacing on offense, he is very active on both sides, and his defense isn't as bad as some make it out to be... He was the bet defender on Zach Randolph in the playoffs... The one time zbo scored on him was a play where he blocked zbos shot, but zbo got the rebound and put it back up for an and 1... Other than this zbo was pretty frustrated because his physical style wasn't causing Davis to shrink like it did our other bugs...
We need a game changer... We know with Gasol starting, we won't beat the elites in the playoffs... He just can't move his feet quick enough, and his effort is really bad... Gasol is better off being the post up option in the second unit, while Aldridge is the post up option of the first unit with Davis keeping his defender away from the paint... We gotta start moving away from these old guys

He ing sucks. Ginger Austin Daye
Bertans looked pretty damn awful in preseason.
He still has plenty of time to figure things out, but he is definitely not starter material right now.
OP gots like 99% posts. It's kinda hard to do really.
Even then, that doesn't work if you're trying to winI think someone has been playing too much 2k18
And Gasol is?
I still see no real argument for Gasol over Davis... Its not about how good Davis is... It is about how incredibly bad Gasol is... Especially for THIS NBA... Gasol was the player I get pissed at the most watching spurs games because lack of effort pisses me off... And we KNOW we have a ceiling with Gasol... Davis is better for this NBA and if the gamble works, we may have something special... It happened with draymond... No one in their right mind would want him starting over David Lee back in the day... Dude was trash.......... Until he got the nod and proved he was meant to be a starter
Bertans is too frail he’d get posted up, outrebounded at center, Gasol is a better 3 point shooter, a better passer, and has a better post game.
Gasol is a better player than Davis.
Gasol is not a better 3 point shooter.
Did apalisoc hack OP's account?
He was last year. More efficient at the very leastGasol is not a better 3 point shooter.
Bertans took 2.6 per game and shot like 40%
Gasol took 1.6 per game and shot like 53%
unless those stats are wrong which they could be but I don’t think they are. Now granted, Gasol can only shoot open non contested 3’s and has a much slower release.
Bertans also plays less way minutes and has a higher usage and players actually try to defend his three. This is kinda like porker shooting 50% from 3 then going 0% in the playoffs vs the clippers. Low usage high percentage and only shooting when you are wide open or no one respects your shot doesn't mean they are a better 3 point shooter.
Parker’s best 3 pt shooting season 1.3 attempts and 42% from three. So Gasol had more attempts and shot 10% higher. Yes you’re right he was a low usage shooter but spot up he shot at a very high rate.
And that doesn't make him a better 3 point shooter.
Real , he starts for me a pf on 2k18. LmmfaoI think someone has been playing too much 2k18
OP totally ignoring that Pau actually is an important defensive guy at time. But if DB could get his defense to a certain level, then perhaps.
They both suck. I'd prefer Fathead at this ing point...
Between all of them - Joffrey should start.
Bertans actually sucks in 2K. He can't even make open shots reliably. I play Anderson and Lauvergne over him.I think someone has been playing too much 2k18
...season can't start fast enough. ppl got scurvy ouchea
..oppps! I don't play. That's too bad on Davis. Seems like an icy hot kind of dude.
