Pau will cost way more than the MLE.
$20mil. Jeff Green got 15, Mozgov 16. He s on both.
Rare sighting!
Just a guess, but assuming Spurs don't get Durant, I'm thinking Manu gets 8 Mill per season, Pau gets 18 Mill per season. Both on 2 year deals. Player options for second year. Tim retires, Diaw is moved.
Manu, 8M/per?????
2 years???????
i don't want manu for 2 years, that.
Portland offered Gasol 2 year 40 millions
Don't look at numbers.
Remember when Jefferson put up great numbers on the Bucks the year before he came to the Spurs? Most idiots were expecting a 20 point scorer coming in when his touches were obviously going to be reduced by 50% at most being the 4th option.
Expect similar contribution from Pau as RJ, average to poor defense -- limited touches on offense which will lead to limited production ( I.E 10-11 points, 8 rebounds). Having to share a lot of time with Aldridge and Kawhi, his touches will be reduced significantly and so will his rebounds. Just look at the limited touches TD got last year as a comparison.
Pau is about the best Spurs could do this off-season, but I don't expect much from him. He's not a great fit on the floor at this stage of his career.
It was either Pau or re-signing D-Worst, so I'm not going to complain if Pau ends up in a Spurs jersey since he isn't being asked to be a savior like Jefferson.
Pop used to bench Tim to close out games against small-ball lineups when TiaGOAT was alive & kicking so I would expect that Pau would get the same treatment. (Among the contenders, Pau's value is really only against OKC)
Unlike D-Worst, he can hold his own against giant centers:
Unlike 40 yr old Tim, he can finish over Gobert:

But but but but he's not young!!!!! ing Spurs fans
All ears as to the savior you're ing they don't get
Pau can score a lot more efficiently than Tim could from that same spot, with the same looks. The offense, as long as the guard play is not horrific, should be better than last year's (especially if DG has a good year shooting).
God this couldn't be more wrong.
If the Spurs had a younger Tim against the Thunder, its a whole different series. Those 5 layups Tim missed in Game 2 came back and haunted us.
Pau is better than Tim at rebounding, passing, shooting, drawing fouls, and in the post.
He also wants to be here, why else would he be waiting for KD to make his decision. Portland offered him 2 years/40M and he hasn't taken it.
Not a 'YouTube to prove my point' guy, but look how well he clicks with Butler. He'd be a great fit with Kawhi.

Pau can throw lob passes better than Tim so Kawhi would get 2 easy points a game.
We don't see eye to eye a bunch, but...
i like Pau Gasol, too
but after that, we need another wingman, and a strong back up to LMA
Don't know if you're being sarcastic but since Pau spaces the floor, his big will get out of the paint which means Kawhi and Lamarcus can post up without being doubled by the Center. Pop would also be able to run Golden State's offense which has a lot of cuts to the basketPau can throw lob passes better than Tim so Kawhi would get 2 easy points a game.

the only thing i have against Pau is this:
IF HE JOINED US AFTER WE WON THE LE IN 2014, WE WOULD HAVE REPEATED!
we would have beaten the ing Clippers!
This is why the Blazers offered him 20 mill per:Don't know if you're being sarcastic but since Pau spaces the floor, his big will get out of the paint which means Kawhi and Lamarcus can post up without being doubled by the Center.
