Woj: Pau Gasol Agrees to 3-yr Deal w/ Spurs

[TheGreatYacht]

I think you are correct. Posters around here that keep asking this, think about this for a while....Kawhi keeps talking about winning Championships over the MVP and other individual awards. Either he's saying the right thing, or like I think/believe, he really doesn't give a about those awards and only cares about Championships.

If he has a burning desire to win, how the do you think all these moves will sit with him? Not being able to compete for a Championship, I don't think he will like that at all. Think about that for a while next time anyone asks if he might leave. His goals seem to be team oriented, and it seems that the Spurs are doing a poor job at that side of things. Kawhi cannot be happy with that. He very well could ask to be traded before his contract is even up for renewal.

Truth bomb of the decade bro

Kawhi loading up the '97 Tahoe bound for Cali as we speak.

I feel a little bit sick. this is definitely the worst offseason I can remember and there is no hope that the Spurs will contend for a le in the next 3 years

I won't blame Kawhi for leaving

Kawhi pretty soon in his Tahoe

Can't wait for the "Spurs still second best in the West, nobody else improved"

Kawhi is definitely leaving next summer, no ing way will this decrepit roster be worth sticking around for.

Lol, you guys are scaring me. Do y'all honestly think it's a real possibility that Kawhi leaves eventually? Serious question. If he leaves, this franchise is ed.

Gasol is definitely not happy with his role on the team. This season is a mess.

Gasol is definitely not happy with his role on the team. This season is a mess.

His play dictates that he's washed up, grizzled with a "got off my lawn" mindset.

i'm out

sad

[Leetonidas]

Maybe the spurs will trade him in a year and half in and get Belinelli back.

If only I got the other half right

[timtonymanu]

This deal will always piss me off.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

This is very easily the worst signing in Spurs history.

[baseline bum]

I just ing knew Pau opting out to take less was bull , and that they would hand him a loyalty contract anyway. And, like you, just know that Tony and Kyle will get one too.

So what will Tony get everyone? 3 years 30 million?
What about Kyle? 3 years 28 million?

Amazing that Fathead actually got that same contract but prorated to four years.

[baseline bum]

I mean what the is RC going to do next? Trade Kawhi to New York for Melo?

Damn I was close, traded him to Toronto for Poor Man's Melo.

Kawhi packing his bags as we speak

The ing re s here that justified this signing because of his loyalty and culture

There will never be a more vanilla group of folks than the patfo fluffers that post here daily

It’s Eubanks time. Popovich likes him and he has looked more NBA ready than higher potentials Walker and Metu. I’m ok giving him 5-10 games as the third big and see how he performs.

[Truth4sale$]

Spurs should try out as many 3and D players as possible. See if anybody remains overlooked and are worth a damn.

[RC_Drunkford]

Joe Johnson? Jason Terry? Tony Allen? We need somebody who can fill the role of Pau's veteran presence. Then resign them in the offseason to replace that loyalty contract

[SuperCam]

congratulations on reaching the 2nd round

Just look at the posts on this thread. Everybody except the usual semen shielding sheeps like DPG21920 knew exactly how this would end.

It really is worrisome for the future of this franchise that PATFO thought it wasn't complete madness to make this kind of deal (as well as others, like the Mills and Tony's extensions, and getting such little return in the Kawhi trade). Hopefully they have learned from their mistakes. There's no point in making good draft choices if you are going to, later, it up with dumb free agency moves.

[DPG21920]

I hated the Gasol deal.

toronto for derozan, but not far off

Pau was the Spurs best defender. He had a better defensive net rating than Poeltl. Imagine what we could do to the Nuggets if we still had him on the roster

You are drunk, otherwise such nonsense would not come out of your fingertips.

I hated the Gasol deal.

That still didn't prevent you from trying to shift the atention from the awful signing by posting things like these:

The funny thing is Pau had a higher PER (18.9), Win Shares (6), Win Shares Per 48 (.159), BPM (3.2) and VORP (2.4) than Manu yet people say Manu had the great season.

It’s interesting.

If we still have grumpy Pau, Spurs would have the 8 seeed playing GSW. He probably would have been helpful in this series, but good riddancez
