    Here's an article from Dime Magazine about the Spurs' recruitment of Pau Gasol in 2014 and why he turned them down.

    Or basically what we've always known :[

    . Most likely, his reason for choosing Chicago was the promise of starting, which would have been tough alongside Duncan and Tiago Splitter, who was a Spur back in 2014.

    Q: Why was Pau so passive on offense last year?


    A: Because Chicago already had enough shootings without him.

    That is the worst joke ever. Could of just said shooters instead of shootings then would have sounded better

    Isn't it a play on the Chicago's recent shootings?

    Not saying the joke was good or bad, just saying "shootings" is probably on purpose.

    Of course it's on purpose and in keeping with 99% of the thoughts that come out of this kid's mind.

    It's really kind of sad that Duncan retired this season. Having Pau Gasol start and Tim coming off the bench would have provided the Spurs with just awesome depth. Pau obviously signed with the Spurs knowing he will be one of the quaterbacks out there, it seems he likes to be a real team leader which is great for this team.

    So Pau did not clearly say, nor even come close to saying why he did not sign in summer 2014.
    And we read between his mumblings as he was pouting because he was not promised to start.
    Wanted to start for a ty team rather then contribute solid minutes on a Champ team.

    Pussy.

    Gasoft wanted high end p*ssy in Chicago and to be "one of the leaders" on a team that wasn't gonna ring instead of humbling himself and going for a ring or two in Mexicoville. He's not a high character guy. Medium character guy, sure. So, we'll see.

    No. Spurs were above the cap then, and only had the MLE to offer pau. The spurs had to stay above the cap in order to resign guys like Mills, diaw, and porker

    At first the Bulls were over the cap and were only able to match the MLE offer which is why pau was leaning SA. Then Bulls amnestied boozer and offered pau more
