Well we are playing Utah, who happens to have killed us a couple times this year. They have the ability to show Neil and everyone else our deficiencies. Maybe Neil will be watching.

It’d be shortsighted to make judgements like that based off one game. At this point, Olshey should know what he has. It’s pretty much the same team as the last two years ffs.

Itd be absolutely pointless.

You're already one step ahead of me.

And if this is the best Neil can do, then he is absolutely disconnected from reality and this team.

not in my view..but a lot depends on what you give up to get him...Memphis is looking for picks and rookies

In that case, give Collins and a first or second. Marc is past his prime, and he's not worth more than that.

The problem with that is......we could really use him to mentor up Zach. Badly.

Nurkic is better. They cant play together. So why would we get Gasol to bring him off the bench, which he wouldnt like and he'd leave over?

it definitely would be sweet as long as 'sweet' = what the fuck is Portland doing

If they're moving Meyers Leonard for Marc Gasol or Caleb Swanigan for Marc Gasol....I like what the fuck Portland is doing...Memphis wants picks and rookies is what is being said...in terms of minutes played...Meyers is almost still a rookie....low miles

Gasol would either be taking Meyers or Zachs minutes I'd guess...he's at the point in his career where a bench role might be in order...his brother has been coming off the bench for a long time as well

Neither of those trade would work money wise and Memphis isnt trading Gasol for anything less than some sort of combination of picks and good young players.

No, Meyers is not a rookie. He turns 27 in less than a month. Swanigan isnt a good young player.

you didn't read my post about Meyers....I said he's played so few minutes over his career that he's almost like a rookie

Are you Meyers’ wife?

I haven't proposed a trade for Gasol that wouldn't include whatever is necessary salary wise or other.....nor do I have much interest in cap issues etc....so my post is …..I like Marc Gasol...if we got him I'd be happy about it.....and we could move Meyers or Caleb or Zach to obtain him...

Gasol makes 24M; Meyers makes 10M. Blazers would have to add another 9M to the deal, and then they'd be paying Gasol 25M to be an 18 minute a game backup. So yeah...what the fuck?

first of all you don't know what minutes he'd play or deal we would get...….Stotts makes that decision...don't like getting Gasol....that's fine...I read we're looking to acquire him this morning and the last thing I thought was that it was a negative thing...really have no interest in arguing the point...Gasol would probably love to get out of Memphis grind it out system for once in his career
 
what I immediately noticed about the article was it said Portland was being "aggressive" going after Gasol...I think that word is leaking out of Olshey's office at a nuclear pace
 
A whole lot of folks are down on Neil Olshey for not making deals......rumors include him working on a deal and people complain...in my view, Olshey's job is on the line this season...he has a ton of motivation to get us to the next level or lose his job. Either way....we either get better or lose Olshey….for most folks around here wouldn't that be a win-win?

Like last year with deandre
 
If we made an aggressive offer for gasoline he would already be a blazer. We probably inquired that’s it and offered garbage
 
Could be smoke and mirrors...Olshey starts the rumor so other teams rush to sign Gasol when the wing player he really wants is up for grabs so that team can clear space for Gasol......this wouldn't surprise me at all.
