Pity for the foot injury. Depending on what can be received in a trade, it might make more sense just wait to see if he recovers. If that happens, he can still be very useful in the playoffs.

About damn time.

Same article, but news4 picked up on it.

Hope it's true. I'm trying to dig out info from my source, but haven't gotten anything.

Wait, wasn't Gasol supossed to make only 6 millions next year?

[DAF86]

Also, I didn't think it would be that hard to trade Gasol. Any tanking team should be willing to get him attached to a draft pick.

[TDomination]

Hope we are able to!

[MoSpur02]

Would love for him to go to Atlanta for Bazemore or to with Cunningham or Forbes Orlando for Gordon.

[Duncan87]

This source kind of shady

$6.7 million if waived.

Bazemore and Prince for Gasol, Forbes and the Raps pick works...

[MarCowMar]

We ain't been the same since Gasol returned.

[CGD]

Miami and Washingotn are teams that actually need cap relief. Really dont see the market for him otherwise unless spurs agree to take back long term money. And even then spurs would probably have to attach a pick

For who? The Spurs?

[Mugshot]

Please Please Please

As I said right before the Spanish elephant got healthy, I was very worried about how he and Pop would disrupt the team mojo they had back in December.

Lo and behold, he starts getting some minutes (not even regular mins because he doesn't need much) and Poetl starts looking like complete dog again and the team comes crashing hard back down to mediocrity.

The return doesn't matter. Just simply shipping Pau out for ANYTHING would be a huge plus for the team's future.

[Leetonidas]

Nice. Don't even care what spurs get in return just get this dude off our squad already

So you are happy with Poeltl as a backup center playing 14-18 minutes in the playoffs. A player that as soon as he doesn't get the same minutes "starts looking like complete dog again" (your words)...OK, makes perfect sense.

Uh I mean yeah easily. Jakob back in December is a significantly better player than legitimately the worst big man defender in the league in Pau....Have you not even watched Gasol in the last month? He might be the worst player in the league that actually sees minutes at this point....

Your solution is to wait out a 38yo coming off a significant foot injury?

I think we can extract value from the Gasol contract but, you are right. It's addition by subtraction if he's removed from the roster.

Exactly. If he comes back, you have 12 solid minutes, as he was playing at the beginning of the season. If he doesn't come back, we are at your "solution": Poeltl as the only backup center.
(your words: The return doesn't matter. Just simply shipping Pau out for ANYTHING)

Somehow I am still surprised at how some people lack even the basic logic fundamentals. My fault, I always overrate the school system.

You don't understand how this works. When long term money is being traded for short term money, the team shipping out the long term money attaches either picks or better players.

Playoffs?

Any team trading for him is picking up only $6.7 million in dead money in the offseason, which frankly isn’t that much. But because of how the CBA changed, his deal was signed post-7/1/2017 and that unguaranteed piece does not count as $16 million outgoing salary anymore. So not a trade chip on the offseason like in years past.
