I don't think Gasol is coming to SA. But in the crazy event he did you can't assume he would come off the bench. The big man spot next to Duncan is open every season. He could likely steal it from Splitter. Probably not too hard to do.
@ramonashelburne Pau Gasol will indeed meet with the Heat, according to a source.

No, no visits here.
Consequently, most likely no Paul Gasol in San Antonio Spurs uniform.
Gasol could be a key in the last Spurs championship run. That's gotta mean something right??
He's not visiting cities. Reps are going to him in LA.
Matt Bonner, in his first role as a member of the Front Office, will be tasked with meeting with Pau next Tuesday in Los Angeles. He plans to sell San Antonio's various sub shops and there love for spanish speaking players. Bonner will also be bringing his 2 championship rings he's won to get his point across.
I want the Spurs to get him or for him to go to the East to a non-Miami team. Hopefully the Heat don't get any good free agents and are in worse shape.
11 pages of nonsense. MVPau is looking for his last big contract in the range of 4/$44. He ain't leaving $20m on the table.
Next.
That would be great! I flat out doubt it though in all honesty. I bet they get a few.We all know that. Some will entertain it and drag this thread 50 pages but he is not coming to SA and he will get paid.
From what it looks like if the Heat resign the big 3 they're going to have 8-9mil to sign Haslem + impact free agent. I'm not sure they will find any for that low. In the Heat the past the Heat were able to lure veterans looking for a chance to win. I think that effect has worn off and it's going to be tougher to recruit guys. Even Lebron no longer feels like taking a pay cut for the team.
OKC, Miami, LA and Chicago are all scheduling meetings to put the full-court pressure on the guy. Gasol is considering the Spurs despite the fact that the Spurs have barely registered their interest (beyond fielding a single phone call). The front office ought to at least put effort to try and get the guy.
5yrs/129M for Melo. Pure genius.
Agreed, but NY/LA is different. You just have to have some bum shoot the ball 30 times and score 20ppg and fans are happy. The list of terrible basketball players coming out of NY high schools that "score" is proof that winning means little. New York is the butt-hole of America. I'd rather live in OKC with the meth addicts.
Maybe this is contingent on Gasol staying with the Lakers. I would rather have Gasol go to the Lakers than him going to OKC or the Heat.
At present, if there are no radical changes to the Heat or OKC's lineup, then the Spurs will win a 2nd championship in a row.
I would sign Diaw and bring in Boozer
No cap space to bid
What about Diaw and Scola?
I was wondering the same thing. Why the long wait?
Scola can barely defend anymore. If Diaw is back, I think the Spurs could as well get Bonner back on a minimum and try to get a veteran for the minimum (Vince Carter) .. and then call it an offseason.
ABSOLUTELY. Scola is a better defender than Pau and I think his offense would be good for what we are doing. They had similar years according to advanced stats, and he would be willing to take less.
Of course, I wouldn't want this to happen, but if Duncan went down for an extended period, would you have faith in the rest of the bigs to keep the Spurs on top? I DON'T, that's why I'm a strong advocate of Pau Gasol coming for MLE.
It keeps him away from our compe ors and he's a smart, heady player that knows how to play this read and react ball-movement type offense.
When I first asked "Why Pau?" I wasn't even considering TD going down.
Now I get why so many want Pau here, or at least someone who can get the job done.
How about McRoberts or Frye?
Because I really doubt Gasol is going to come here, especially for the MLE.
Excellent point, there must be a strong lure here. I'm guessing if the Spurs had the money, he'd be here in a heartbeat. Well, with that being said, this could be true for the Thunder and Heat.
probably goes to the thunder, screwing us over
Certainly an option
