Marc Gasol: If Grizzlies don’t share my goal of continued growth, we might have to re

[cutewizard]

You don't make a public statement like this unless you got every intention to bolt!

Marc Gasol at 32 knows that its his last chance to compete at a high level. That is not happening with the Grizzlies.

Just like Kyle Irving forced a trade, Memphis is likely to trade Gasol for LMA. Practically a done deal. The more he talks to Pau in the summer, the more he's going to bolt. That's why Pau was paid the big bucks. The deal is in motion and the Spurs are going to have the Gasol brothers as their front line. That's why there was no urgency to sign up another big.

Yes

Too young. Spurs won't sign him til he's 34 and past his prime tbh.

If Grizzlies trade Marc you would think they would want picks, young talent to build around. LMA would be great for them as an expiring contract but Spurs would have to add future picks.

Maybe, but they also shed 50m. You could argue they should be giving Spurs something.

Lamarsha is better than Gasol.

I knew it would be only one poster to bump an old thread like this

Sure, not a problem, throw in Dejounte Murray as a sweetner and hire back Boris Diaw for the vet minimum.

Parker, Mills, White, Forbes
Green, Manu, Paul
Leonard, Bertans
Gay, Lauvergne, Diaw
Gasol, Gasol

15 players total

Seems destined to happen at some point. Wouldn't rule out the trade deadline or off season, but 2 years from now (player option) is more likely.

Would rather Aldridge for the same reasons as in '15 though. I view him, Gasol and I'll throw in Love as being in the same class, but he's more valuable because those two are virtually unplayable defensively against the Warriors and Rockets.

How the can you be a 7-1 all star center and average 6 rebounds a game? So embarrassing

[rastaspur]

Wonder if he's mad that ZBO left, they are actually very close from stories that I read.

Yep. Everybody loves the dude who brings 2 pounds of weed to a block party.
