No sir, don't agree. 5 straight trips to the Finals? Not going to happen. Wade is a s of his younger, pre-injured self. Chicago will be better with or without Melo.
I'd be fine with him staying with LA.

What if Gasol comes down to 8 million, we don't resign Bonner or Baynes and Diaw takes one for the team. Could we get Gasol?
SHOOTING FOR SIX.
Something like this, probably. We're not stupid enough to give him more than Tim makes.
The Bonner replacement? I mean, if he will take the MLE, you gotta take a flier there...
Spurs have a le locked up if gasol comes in
Every time I see this thread, I think the le is "Spurs contact Pau Gasol repeatedly". Then I think of this:

Great movie
Don't see how OKC can offer anymore than the spurs can, in fact, even after signing mills, spurs still have more cap room than OKC right?
The Spurs have no cap room. They have the MLE and biannual exceptions.
Edited to add: OKC also has no cap room, so the MLE is the most they can offer in a straight deal. They might be able to swing something with their trade exception, though for a bit more.
Gasol options -
OKC - would never see the ball, too many chuckers
LAL, - see OKC
CHI - Would never see the bench and would breakdown by mid-season,
NYK - See Chi
MIA - would be the best option, unless he finds a team with a coach who knows how to manage minutes, has a share the ball mentality, and is use to international players.
Lets spread the floor with another jumpshooting big with no defense and a limited post game at the end of his career ........
They could trade or amnesty Perkins and clear a lot of cap space.
Doubt he comes the San Antonio. I see him going more to Chicago if Melo decides to go there. That would be interesting.
Isn't Gasol good friend of Tony?

ESPN has learned that Thunder stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook made a come-to-OKC pitch directly to Pau Gasol today in Los Angeles
at them always listing almost every team as being "frontrunners". They never get it right until he signs.
How does that work?
That's true. They do have trade options, and Perkins is one of the few remaining amnesty candidates.
Which part? I see Chicago adding some offensive firepower from a FA (Gasol, Stephenson) and getting Rose back. That alone will put them over the top of an old and depleted Miami team. Lebron is the key to them contending but he isn't getting any additional help in Miami. I have a feeling he just might not be back next year. I have no idea where he would go but it may not be Miami.
Were they wearing those funny glasses and clothes?
Amnestying Perkins only gets their cap figure to $60 million. Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka alone make $48 million.
I be fine with Pau as long as he don't go to OKC or Miami.
But seriously, Pau rather play for Scott Brook than Pop ?
I bet Westbrooks pitch was just stand there and give me the ball and let me go to work you won't have to do anything.
OKC needs Gasol, the Spurs don't. We pick up the phone and say "look at the scoreboard". Our system will give you an opportunity to compete for a championship, extend your career and relieve you of the pressure of being relied on so much.
