Pau Gasol to the Blazers

[THE HCP]

Pau is not a PF anymore. Hes played 100% of his minutes at C over the past 4 seasons.

Thats what you got out of my huge post?

 

[THE HCP]

Do you believe Whiteside/Gasol is a better fit/upgrade for this roster than Kanter/Leonard?

I do.

JESUS YES!

 

[James lamphear]

Anytime you can put a vet on your team you do it. Now we got some good veteran leadership that can help Dame and CJ out that department. Pau still can play maybe not like when he was younger but can secure some wins for us.

 

[Boise Blazer]

We now have very few players on our roster that aren't at least fairly reliable from three. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

I guess this means he HAS to play C here as there is apparently some invisible barrier constructed 4 years ago which is preventing him from playing PF.

 

[Natebishop3]

He's insurance and a locker room presence. I like the signing.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

I hope he doesn't play a single meaningful minute this season, barring blowouts. If he does, this season took a turn for the worse.
He is strictly an on-the-bench coach for Zach, Nurk, Hassan, and Skal.

Excellent signing for his knowledge and experience.
Awful signing if we have to rely on winning games with him.

Right? I'd love to see him on the court WITH either Whiteside or Nurk. I believe he compliment both of them on the offensive end.

 

[Scalma]

Zach is the only player on the current team that follows Gasol on IG. Means nothing, but I just thought it was interesting.

Nurk follows him on twitter. So the two people that should be most interested in him...are lol.

 

[BlazerWookee]

I'm still mad at him for fucking up Rudy's dunk contest dunk so many times because he kept throwing the ball around his back and missing the spot on the back of the backboard, lol...

 

[Wade Garrett]

I was hearing Dwight Howard.
This is MUCH better.
Thumbs up from me.Well done, Neil.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled summer.
Peace.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Only thing I want from Pau is for him to teach Zach everything he knows.

Well, everything except what it feels like to don the Lavender and Urine.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Noah or Howard would have been better, but ok.

I had always thought A.C. Green was a man of integrity.....UNTIL.....

I guess the barrier is that he runs as fast as I do (not fast) at this point in his life.

 

[Reep]

I actually want Pau to play 10 min/game or so. Just enough to come in, cause some mismatches and take the other team out of rhythm, then rest again.

B-

 

[THE HCP]

Maybe he showed up to start working on getting Zac to sign in LA?

 

[julius]

Can he hit swish...er...Pau3's tho?

 

[hoopsjock]

Who's Zac?

 

[julius]

Who's Zac?

Zac? He's a lego maniac.

 

[THE HCP]

Who's Zac?

Thats what you got from my post? A spelling error?

 

[THE HCP]

Who's Zac?

Let me guess, you're going to tell me he ONLY plays center.

 

[Chris Craig]

Now get Lin

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah, it's called aging. You want him on the perimeter against Davis, Millsap, Kuzma, and chasing around other stretch 4s?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

What else is there to get from it? At least he's helping you. #payitforward

This is not a cool post.

And as king of uncool posts my word holds merit here.

DAMN!!! As much as it really detests me to say, I have to agree 100% with this post. We are going to have some seriously nasty line-up options.... Nice post HCP. NO, SERIOUSLY!!!

 

[oldfisherman]

Gasol's yin will balance Whiteside's yang.
