Marc Gasol will be a free agent

[DJ Fieri]

Will he stay or leave?

Knicks? Lakers? Spurs? Hmmmmm....

The SPURS are going to make runs at both Aldridge and Gasol.

I cannot remember the last time SA was the team with all the cap space and ready to be a player.

Warm Weather, Established culture of excellent management, good coaching, international flavor, no state income tax, chance to win right away.....

So, of course it means the SPURS will land exactly NOBODY. as all the free agents sign elsewhere.

I haven't heard any dissatisfaction, but If he is interested in running a title, then he is gone.

Love me some Marc Gasol. Would LOVE to see the Lakers get him. I think he stays in Memphis though. They seem to have almost all of the pieces to win a title. The question is whether or not they will add what they need and do it without losing too much of what they do well.

They have strong post presence, they rebound the ball, they play very good interior and perimeter defense and while they aren't going to remind anyone of the Showtime Lakers, like the 80's Celtics, they can run a fast break when they get a chance. The difference in the series was GSW's ability to just pack the paint and make things tougher for Gasol and Z-Bo. They knew Memphis wasn't beating them from the perimeter.

They just need a solid 3 point threat or 2 to help space the floor and open the middle for Gasol and Z-Bo.

Marc Gasol with the splash bros would a thing of beauty

Marc Gasol with the splash brothers would probably lead to at least back to back titles for GSW.

Carter Williams, middelton, Giannis, Parker, Gasol. That team could win 50 games

couldn't agree more, would be a great defensive team that could play half court offense or run with their athletic ability. Stranger things have happened. I still remember when the Packers got Reggie White in free agency, no one saw that coming.

Need to resign middelton first. He's one of the better role players in the league right now IMO.
I also think they would win 50-54 with Gasol, healthy Parker and another big step from Giannis

Memphis has had pretty good teams with Gasol, so I have a hard time picturing him bolting.

He'd be a good addition for the Mavs.

Maybe the Lakers could sign Rondo instead.

pass...

pass...

Every time I hear that name, I get this sick feeling in my stomach similar to the one when my mother passed away Thursday and the first thoughts that come to my mind is Cancer, Prick, Injury Prone, aging player that will be over-priced. Did I miss anything?

It would soooo be something they'd do, signing a player after his best flashes (cough cough Jeremy Lin), and pairing him with a Kobe Bryant who will just hog the ball the whole time.

 

[wildturkey]

Consensus seems to be he's staying in Memphis. Like nearly every guy that reports on this type of stuff thinks so and its sort of rare that a guy bolts when damn near every indication is he's staying put. I'd say its like 80% chance Memphis, 15% chance San Antonio, 5% any other team

I hate to say it because I would love him to be a Laker, but he would be a perfect fit with the Spurs.

LOL, every time I see that name, Jeremy Lin. We were trolled on the ESPN boards by Knick fans and even a couple of our own posters. We were told GSW gave up an all star and potential future hall of fame Point Guard.

How to Laker fans feel about the Lakers front office?
