JFC WTF.

Discuss.

Do we need Gasol assuming were keeping Nurk?

If they take Meyers then why the hell not, lol.

Gasol backup to Nurk make sense. But how much are we going to give up for a 34 year old that's not in his prime and right now very over paid.

 

[TBpup]

$24,000,000+ for a backup center. Not a needle mover Neil.

It's not our money....Vulcan's can probably write off the teams whole tax liability...billionaires profit from losing money all the time...

 

[James lamphear]

Leonard and Harkless maybe draft pick will do it for Gasol. Of course this also might be a 3 team trade also.

How many years ago are we talking?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Could Gasol and Nurk play together?

said the person who wasn't even a millionaire....

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer talks about 'they write it off' and he has no idea what it means.

That would cost Portland a lot in additional Lux Tax money

who would that be? it very well could be that some TV guy doesn't know what a tax write off is......I've seen one episode of Seinfield...the one about the overdue Henry Miller library book...Paul Allen probably spent more on toys than on a luxury tax ....I think the tax fear is fan based more than franchise based....and sure...I could be wrong...they might be real stingy folks....seems to me if I wanted to sell a team I'd go all out to make it look like the best team I could up to the sale

I need to know what the offer was before I can offer an opinion.

 

[riverman]

yeah...I don't care to argue about speculations concerning this at all....we just don't frickin' know anything beyond some Pelican and Grizz players that are on the block

 

[Sarni]

Unless it’s for Turner, Meyers and a pick I don’t see the point of this move. He’s still a good player when healthy but should not be playing ahead of Nurkic and probably cannot play with Nurkic.

 

[ebott]

I concur

 

[Rhal]

Only way this makes any sense to me is if we have a deal in place for Nurkic.

 

[RonBrewer]

Give me Gasol all day every day. He's still putting up great numbers. He can help us win

Doesn’t make sense then either. He’s a rental.

 

[Propagandist]

So stupid.

 

[LayneStaley]

I didn’t read any of the posts in this thread but I assure you this Gasol shit is BS.

 

[LayneStaley]

Also if this was a second move after trading CJ/Nurk for AD/Filler It would be ballsy as hell.

A Dame/AD/Gasol window could be as small as 1.5 years. Not to mention I’m not sure that’s better than GS anyway.

 

[SwissBlazer]

Steve. Kyler.

At least it helps the narrative of the anti-Olshey...

Missed Erection?

Missed Erections is one of my fantasy football teams.

Literally 2 years after I first used it, my friend spontaneously burst out laughing, and said....."I just got it"

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fuck yes he can. Look at Memphis.

The league is about wings who can guard multiple positions and are interchangeable. Olshey wants a plodding center who is antiquated in todays game.

 

[TBpup]

A very expensive rental.

 

[stampedehero]

I agree. We do not need a 34 year old center when Nurk has acclimated himself quite well here.
