I hope Neil doesn't trade away mid-level salaries and young promising Lottery picks for future picks and the chance to watch a 36 yr old for 2 seasons. Thats not a good way to build going forward. Asset acquisition - not asset dispersal!!!

If you can swap out players for future picks that's swapping assets, not dispersing them.

There's a 3rd...
Trade Davis and Vonleh for future 1st Round Picks. Gives you $16M-$17M to pay Gasol and picks to use in trades down the road for the piece to finish the puzzle. Stay in asset acquisition mode while going for a championship.

Just remember he's not coming

Just reminding you of our deal
 
If we do end up signing him, as much as I want to cheer for him, it's just such a strange fit....
 
Playing 2k16, Pau is arthritic slow, he's gonna destroy our fastbreak
 
Portland is ready to hand Gasol more money then the Spurs will give him, and he is still waiting for the Spurs...

We're gonna have to offer him 20mil plus for 3 seasons to get him to go here over there.

If it has taken this long and he still hasn't decided it must mean we're not completely out of it, I still think he'll go take Duncan's place though.

Old man retires so an old man can take his place
 
The Spaniards hate the French so the Spurs have 3 French players I think...this bodes well for our chances
 
And the spurs didnt talk shit about spaniards in their locker room while playing his little brother in the playoffs that got leaked out to the media and really pissed the spaniards off. So theres that.

Batum admitted to doing it. And Batum ain't here.
 
You think a locker room remark about his nationality matters?! For 20 million a year, you could strap me to a chair, make me watch Patch Adams eight hours a day whIle duct taping my eye lids open and I wouldn't give a sh-t!

The only thing that matters at his age is what's in his bank account.

Im not saying in and of itself will that stop him, but a lot of that stuff was thrown at his brother. And coupled with sergio, claver, and rudy being unhappy here, as well as the fact that we arent as good as the spurs, dont have popovich as a coach, or thibodeau who he has a relationship with, we HAVE to offer him the most money in order to even have a chance.
 
Every other free agent big that might be able to start is going to get signed in the amount of time it's taking Pau to sign with SA.

Pau can also ask sergio, rudy and claver how they liked it out here if he wants references. Im sure that will go over real well.

Their issues were over playing time. Either way I really don't want Pau.

We had to offer Turner more money to sign here. So does it really matter? I don't buy any song and dance from players saying they came here because of the team or because they wanted to win. I I believe Dame but that's it. I'm sick of this loving the players crap. It's a business.
