Sportando: Spurs working hard to part ways with Gasol

[Joseph Kony]

ST posters are dumb. it's not about teams "wanting him," its because he is only owed 6 mil next year and a team looking to clear space might be interested in that. not hard to figure out. of course no one actually wants him to play for them

Orlando started this LITERALLY 20 years ago, and some people haven't figured out that cap space, present or future, is a commodity.

Sportando?

Would you trade Pau Gasol for Tristan Thompson and a couple second rounders? Cavs acquired 4 additional second rounders from Krover and Hood trades.

[RC_Drunkford]

I would do Pau + Forbes + Raptors pick for Prince and Bazemore immediately. Like I said before Bazemore can easily replicate Forbes production on offense and gives you a little more versatility while also improving the defense in every aspect. Prince is a young SF who shoots 37% from 3 and is locked in for 2 years on a rookie contract. Pop would develop him further as a defender. Spurs get better short and long term with that move

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Team up the Gasol brothers and bring Mike Connely to San Antonio.


Sounds like a win-win for both teams.

If nothing better came up.

[BlackAndWhite]

If that happens, it would be like waking up from a nightmare

[duncan2k5]

Would have been smart to NOT give him that contract in the first place

[slick'81]

Not holding my breath but poodle power will never shine with three true centers on the team

[duncan2k5]

Gasol will still be on this team after the deadline don’t be fooled.

Sadly, I agree

[Texas_Ranger]

there is a bigger chance the Spurs extend Gasoft's contract than trade his ass.

not a chance

How did that work out for them?

“According to Sporting news, the San Antonio Spurs are working hard to part ways with Pau Gasol .

The big man has played just 24 games this season, with averages of 4.5 points (first time under the 10 points per game in his NBA career), 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assist .

He's under contract for another year at 16 Millions (6.7 guaranteed)”

I don't agree with trading a first round pick to get rid of Gasol. However, I'm all aboard the idea of trading idea for a decent player with a bad contract, preferably a contract with just one more year on it.

Getting a decent player who plays any position other than center would be helpful.

?? They landed both Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady. Other than GHs ankle, it was the most successful FA haul by any one team in any one summer. They cleared the cap space and got two MAX FAs. That's all you can do, and then let the chips fall where they may.

Im ok with you but if it’s for a good player maybe i will put the first in the deal

[koriwhat]

the one thing i wished for after the that dec game vs the lakers where poeltl and white showed us their fire and the team was clicking all over the floor. gasol needs to go and not because he's a horrible dude(or team cancer) but his time has passed on this team and in nba bball imo but especially on this team.

Thompson wouldn't play this season or next and if he did he would be a horrid fit, so no.

Prince is in his 3rd season so he is under contract for another year before RFA.

I think I would do it, though it creates a log jam next season with Murray, Mills White, DeRozan, Beli, Bazemore and Prince all needing minutes at the 1-3.

I mentioned Bazemore and Prince for Gasol, Forbes and the Raps pick, in that specific scenario would you do that deal?

[Mugen]

I'd do Pau + the Toronto pick for Jlin + Prince in a heartbeat tbh.

I wouldn't do a deal where you both take Bazemore's putrid contract AND send them a first rounder. They'd have to choose. Prince isn't good enough to justify both.
