Gasol to Spurs

Most shocking news of the day.

 

[B-Roy]

Thank god this is over.

 

[Chris Craig]

Gasol to Spurs

Thank God, not a big surprise...not sure why Neil wasted his time

 

[santeesioux]

He took ten million less than what we were offering. SPAM doesn't work.

 

[Chris Craig]

He took ten million less than what we were offering. SPAM doesn't work.

Cause he didn't want to come here

 

[santeesioux]

Can't believe they wasted so much time on a player that was never coming here when they could have put that time to trades/etc.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Gasol to Spurs

For $10M LESS than we offered. Slap in the face!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

SIGN BOBAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

For $10M LESS than we offered. Slap in the face!

I mean, at this point what can we do? We can't even get guys to come here after offering a bloated contract. Fuck this city.

 

[TBpup]

They'll still be the second best team in the west..... but Gasol is really only a marginal upgrade for them. I guess it lets them move LMA to the power forward spot.

The only shot at beating the Warriors is to go big, slow it down and wear them down. They will destroy any smaller line-up.

Cause he didn't want to come here

I'm starting to wonder who does? Sure, Turner did, but he was a bench player in BOS....not really a big deal.

 

[Chris Craig]

SIGN BOBAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boban...sounds like the name of a clown

 

[SlyPokerDog]

For $10M LESS than we offered. Slap in the face!

San Antonio's night life is $10mill better than ours.

 

[noknobs]

Spurs just got younger

 

[santeesioux]

Now we have 2 guys on the Spurs we can boo incessantly.

You're just now starting to wonder? This free agency hasn't shown us anything we don't already know. Portland isn't a destination. Never has been, never will be. Only hope for it to be is being a championship team and even then that isn't guaranteed.

Funny how so many retire there, though. I guess it is the place where young people come to retire...

Yeah he can get drunk relive the battle of the Alamo

 

[santeesioux]

Yeah he can get drunk relive the battle of the Alamo

The thought of Ozzy peeing on that is still awesome.

 

[LuckyShot]

For $10M LESS than we offered. Slap in the face!

Shocker.

 

[Chris Craig]

Come to Portland, Ezeli boy, they all float up here

... And do heroin

 

[Darkwebs]

Can't believe they wasted so much time on a player that was never coming here when they could have put that time to trades/etc.

I think they could've been doing both exploring their trade & free agent options and waiting on Pau's final decision.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Bullet dodged as far as I'm concerned. Go big, get young, and wait out the next three years.

Hell, maybe trade some guys for 2019, 2020 first round picks -- think strategically, not tactically.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

with the report of Duncan leaning towards retirement this is no surprise

 

[Tunchi]

Pau said no to us??

And the sun is hot

 

[Hobbesarable]

I think they could've been doing both exploring their trade & free agent options and waiting on Pau's final decision.

Agree. There are a lot of dynamics involved and you know they were working on their contingency plans. It would be interesting to know about those plans and how they evolved with each free agent signing.
