    good point. but as this year has proven, their supporting cast is so awful, that even a star studded team with dwight, pau, kirby barely squeaked in as a 7th seed. they're going to need a roster overhaul, not just swapping star for star. to have all those moving parts midseason is going to be rough, even for them
    It's not too late for Gasol & the gang to prove they can win it without Kobe. He won it back-2-back not once, but, twice with nary a one of them. Quid pro quo.

    Chop/chop.

    They should keep both Dwight and Pau, build a team around them adding an good SG and amnesty Kobe. On the other hand, Kobe brings more revenue even at $30M salary.

    They will be paying much, much more than 30 million for Kobe, most of which goes to the NBA

    Tax levels from 2013–14

    Amount over tax threshold Standard tax Repeat offender tax
    $5 million or less $1.50 $2.50
    $5 million to $10 million $1.75 $2.75
    $10 million to $15 million $2.50 $3.50
    $15 million to $20 million $3.25 $4.25

    This is most likely could be a possibility, especially since Dantoni has no place for him in his offense and trading for other contracts would not save them much money. After watching the charmin soft performance of Splitter in game 1, I think the Spurs should just let him go, keep the cap space, and attempt to bid Gasol off waivers. It would be a crazy gamble but it's not like they'll win anything anyways by paying Splitter $10 million.

    The thing with the prospect of picking up Pau is he seems to be a really loyal guy who would love to resign with his current team. He never asked out of Memphis, he never asked out of LA, and he would love the international flavor of the Spurs team. The problem with the waiver is that it is blind bidding, not like an auction. Every team puts in one bid, and nobody knows what anybody else bid. How much would the Spurs be able/willing to bid for Pau? His contract is 19 million, so thats the max any team could bid, but would the Spurs be willing to bid 11 million? 13? Will another team throw 15? We'd have to renounce our rights to Splitter in order to place a decent bid on Pau, and that would throw away our ability to match offers for Splitter in the event we get outbid for Pau. While I'm already dreaming of a Pau pickup, we should realize its highly unlikely the Lakers amnesty Pau. They'd rather send him in some package for Kevin Love, who is likely to bolt out of Minnesota anyway, and the Wolves are probably aware of that, and would love to pair Pau with fellow Spaniard Rubio.

    And then, even if Pau is amnestied, I doubt the Spurs brass makes that sort of a risk by renouncing Splitter's rights.

    Anyone can have Beasley for free. He's a cancer. We are better, significantly, for every minute he sits on the bench. He has blatantly stopped listening to coaches and teammates. He thinks he knows better than everyone and will not take criticism nor help. Him being a priority last year just got Lance Blanks fired. You want him? Take him. You want to take free-agent-to-be Gortat (who played his best ball with Nash) with him, AND give us Gasol?

    OKAY!!

    o dip ....newsflash...they offered him to us before (and we turned the deal down) so it's plausible they'd offer him again...especially after the get swept by the Knicks and we get Swept by the Spurs...

    Seriously? They got CP3 before the trade was blocked, they got Howard, they got Shaq, they got Pau. What is it about Rondo that puts him out of reach in that case?
    Boston is one of the better run organizations in this league for a reason dumbass. They don't make dumb trades like trading their best player for Pau f'n Gasol. No matter how badly these Kobe suckers dream about it... it ain't happening.

    an expiring contract will have considerable trading value and stern will doing everything to help the lakers get another trash-for-fortune deal like the one they did in 08 before he leaves office imho

    rondo is overrated and the celtics would probably not make any deal with the lakers due to their past rivalry imho. D-Rose will be a much better option for them lakers, a healthy and mentally ready Rose would be twice the player rondo is tbh.

    Imagine the fit Kobe would throw if D'Antoni ran Gasol during the offseason. I doubt it would happen.
