Spurs contact Pau Gasol reportedly

Everyone has been saying that a S&T with LA to the Bulls is impossible. Everyone, from Woj to Mel_13 to Jeff McDonald, for Christ's sake.

If the Lakers block Pau from heading to the Bulls...

I think the lakers rather send pau to the bulls than let pau go to sa or okc

Pau Gasol, a step away from playing for the Bulls

The Marca newspaper announces that Pau Gasol found the way out of the free agent labyrinth amongst many juicy options that made him one of the most sought after free agents in the NBA on this frenetic July.

Finally, the power forward will almost surely continue his career with the Bulls.

Pau has the deal almost closed with Chicago, and he would like to do the physical before returning to Barcelona in the next few days.

The deal is pending on another operation, a 'sign and trade' with the Lakers, even though Pau rejected the initial offer from the Lakers to re-new, that would even allow Pau to increase the amount of money of his signing.

Even though he thought the process would be easier and quicker, the oldest of the Gasol brothers has taken his time to decide, but the Lebron news, who's heading back to Cleveland, and the imminent announcement from Carmelo Anthony, who is likely to re-new with the Knicks, has accelerated his decision, which is almost taken.

Thunder and Spurs also wanted him, but Gasol was seduced with the Bull's project.

Seduced by Bull's project? What project? The one where he gets bounced in the first round every year?

Will wait until Woj reports on this..Otherwise we are no different in terms of speculation than we were this afternoon when Pau sent out that tweet. Goodnight.

Not true. People have been saying it'd be extremely hard/unlikely...not impossible.

I'm sticking with T-Spence and his source, tbh. Gasol will be a Spur by Sunday.

We all know he's going to the Bulls, he has just as good a shot to make the Finals with the Bulls out East as with the Spurs out West. Plus more money and playing time. No brainer for Pau. Imo.

Once the lakers renounced Pau's rights they're no longer to exceed the cap in a sign and trade

But they can still do a S&T if the salaries match, which means they would have to find a team to take Nash. Not out of the realm of possibilities if they involve a 3rd team and get picks in return.

if woj hasn't reported it yet, it's not true. he has little birds everywhere.

If it makes y'all feel better, Tspence is reporting that there's no truth to the news and and the Boozer/Gasol S&T deal fell through

Good thing I have enough whiskey tonight. This thread is internet gold.

Tspence has won over this board with absolutely no credibility whatsoever. He's the people's champ tbh

No truth to the Bulls/Lakers S&T I am being told. I am sticking to this 100 percent, Gasol to Spurs. Bulls would have to have Nash included

There was a rumor earlier that Lakers/Bulls were close to a S&T of Boozer/Gasol but it fell through completely. #Spurs #Lakers #Bulls

BOOM tspence26 awakes from his slumber!

Well, they play in the East after all... moving Boozer also guarantees him a starting spot, and he can probably get more money there too, I suspect.

[SpursFan86]

This dumbass doesn't even realize you can do 3-team trades, apparently

[TheGoldStandard]

He now has 324 followers.. this guy is gold

[marinoman]

kinda weird you guys care so much for our 4th big. I want him too, but if we miss, meh

[siraulo23]

Whew!

I got worried there for a sec
