Zombie Blazers Pursuing Pau Gasol

[Blazinaway]

I'd rather get Mahinmi

LOL I'll gladly settle for either one!

 

[BonesJones]

I'm sorry but I'm being real. He ain't touching this market.

It don't matter if we have a 2nd team all NBA player (top 10 player) , an upcoming star and most improved player, front runner coach of the year, you name it

For whatever reason top free agents or a name brand like Pau Gasol will be damned to come here

You know that too

If he comes here you can't say one bad thing about Lillard next year. If he doesn't I'll admit you're right. Deal?

CJ and Pau will be feast or famine

 

[MickZagger]

depending on the money im all for this, gasol is a sweet bro

Exactly. Gasol was a baller last year, has a game thats not predicated on athleticism and the length of the contract won't be long. I'm all for getting Gasol.

 

[BonesJones]

CJ and Pau will be feast or famine

That's fine hahaha

 

[BonesJones]

Sign and Trade Meyers or Harkless for just under the cap so BYC doesn't apply (apx $14M) for Pau ($17M; less than 125%) and Right to Swap 2018 1st Round Picks.

 

[HolyBackboard]

Pau would be amazing in Stotts' system ... think of the ball movement!!

 

[BonesJones]

Pau doesn't seem to be a guy that'd have a problem with market. He'd want a chance to win.

-We went as far as the Spurs last year.
-We would benefit more from him then they would.
-We would likely pay him more than they would. (I don't see them shedding salary for Pau. I think they'd go with Mahinmi instead)

 

[Elton]

Seriously, Gasol is a 2x champion... Lord knows how many time all star. He's seen it all and done it all. We NEED someone like that, when's the last time we have a multiple time champ that was actually good still on our team?

Scottie Pippen.

 

[MickZagger]

I can't believe people around here are disappointed in a consolation prize that is a future HOF'er who just came off a 22 PER year and could be had for cheap (relatively speaking).

 

[Haakzilla]

Scottie Pippen.

...and that was good enough for heartbreak in the WCF!

This is the year his production tanks.

 

[BrianFromWA]

people said that about Duncan for 7 years or so. Didn't happen until the playoffs this year.

Been a LOT of 'Sky is falling' posts from Blazers fans all over today ... Pau would be an amazing pick up.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

And it'll be good for a heartbreak in the finals as we just end up having no answer for LeBron!

 

[B-Roy]

I also love reading this thread. People are getting their hopes up only to have them get dashed when Gasoline inevitably spurns us at the last minute (but hey, we were his second choice!).

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I don't see how we can afford Gasol without gutting the roster. I guess we could do a lopsided sign-and-trade but it would have to be Ed Davis, and that would make me sad. And the Bulls are trying to clear room for Wade, aren't they?

 

[Schilly]

im going to start a Blazers Fan Anger Management clinic and suicide help line... Will be rich off you grumpy holes!

 

[MickZagger]

Dude he had 22/16/14 against us.

Dude ran a clinic. But we kicked their ass.

 

[MickZagger]

This is the year his production tanks.

Is it though?

 

[Schilly]

Is it though?

It is if your main goal is to complain about everything always.

 

[MickZagger]

Excusez-moi?

 

[Schilly]

Excusez-moi?

I've been reading a lot of complaining for the sake of complaining today.

 

[julius]

Excusez-moi?

he's saying that it is someones main goal if they bitch about everything, not that you bitch about everything.

Oh okay, gotcha. I got a slight buzz and that went over my head.

 

[Tunchi]

Deal

 

[Schilly]

Deal

I took a screen shot to save and use if necessary.

 

[Jesus Christ Son of God]

Jesus

Yes?

Go Blazers?

Lawyering: By next year you mean next season starting from September 2016, yes?

I use the Kingspeed theory of eternity.
