Coach Bud..

Because it makes sense that Gasol would relinquish some of the money required for his buyout if he knew that he had a 'job offer' lined up afterwards.

Yep. I don't know how Gasol got that dumbass deal in the first place, but he wasn't going to give up a penny of it once it was in hand. It was pretty obvious there was some prior communication between the Bucks and Gasol before the buyout occurred. The buyout and the rumored Bucks' signing came out almost simultaneously.


Pop should have told Bud not to play him much...or maybe he did, but coach Bud wanted to test that for himself. Last night's +/- line on Gasol probably gave the Bucks coaching staff all the 411 they needed. I wouldn't expect to see much more from Gasol beyond mop-up duty in a blowout from this point forward.

Gasol needs to become an agent once his playing days are over.

Exactly how does Bud picking up Gasol benefit the Spurs?

Gave them the win yesterday.
