Too old for my taste, he is a fatass and will need at least 2 seasons to get the system bad choice.

The New York Daily News reports something that's been whispered about for a while, that the San Antonio Spurs have interest in pursuing Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol this summer in free agency.

Don't see any reason he would leave Memphis.
Gasol has a good iq bb, he would adapt quick to Spurs system. He is gifted passer, does not need the ball too much and can anchor a defense. That would a very good signing but he won't leave Grizz
He's not leaving Memphis tbh. He loves the city and they can offer him more money than any other team. Moving on.
he's obviously a natural fit, an alternative is monroe.. other than that the market goes south in a very bad way..
He's not leaving Memphis.
No Aldridge, then?

Also, Spurs don't air laundry so not sure where the daily news is getting this crap.
Gasol went to high school in Memphis, has played his entire NBA career in Memphis, is on a winning team and can get paid. Don't imagine it's a situation he would be desperate to get away from.
He's only a good defender, and in his prime he was only able to average 14,6 points per game. No thanks, next
Did TSpence report this?
Lol at the people saying no thanks.... are you even thinking? Gasol is a top 5 big and would be one of the best replacements for TD aside for my Top 1, Aldridge.
No guys, we arent getting Davis so better set your asses off for realistic options.
It's not that Gasol or Aldridge are bad players. It's just that how the Spurs have been winning is very unique and it would be very difficult to sustain anything close to that if you replace Tim with Gasol IMO. Good player and would be a very nice pickup, but this style of winning is rare and takes almost perfect execution/chemistry. I don't think it's wise to pursue older players and try to win the same way.
Replace Tim Duncan....good one.
There's no such thing as "replace Tim Duncan".
Was thinking either him or Monroe. Guy can play with Splitter since he has a midrange game.
That's just semantics. They meant someone to play PF/C Jesus Christ aside from Phillip everyone here knows Teeds is the GOAT.
There's no such thing as "replace Tim Duncan".
With that logic, then you basically predicted a loser team post Timmy...
If Tim retires I'd love to get Gasol, but why would he leave a good situation in Memphis?
Not at all.
Yes Tim is irreplacable, yes our winning way.is very rare and unique but things change and people retire. You have to find a replacement atleast even if he wont be as good. Aside from LmA and Gasol, I cant see anyone better. I also dont see Davis coming here if you want "young/er" guys. So what's the plan then?
You're missing the entire point of my post.
Spurs will be the most handsome suitor for Monroe. He'll be in silver and black, and we'll be grateful to have him.
If Pop stays, than I have no doubt that the Spurs will continue to be successful playing this style of ball. Of course he will continue to adapt as he does.
If Pop retires, I would expect the new head coach to have a say in who he wants and what style of basketball he plans to play.
You said Tim is hard to replace. And we win in a unique way with him. Also, it's not wise to replace him with Gasol. Thus my points from my previous posts.
Please enlighten me.
