Hopefully the lakers don't weasel their way into acquiring Davis. I will admit I would laugh at Lavar Ball's meltdown if the lakers shipped Lonzo to NOLA.

The issue isn't who was better in their prime because they're both clearly out of it. It's taking on Marc's extra year of 25 million + salary for a declining player so we could possibly eek out a playoff series. Marco ain't what he once was either but after a horrific first two months, he's really been playing good ball the last 20 games. The question really is what does Marc get you this year? Does he improve us to be a legitimate championship contender? What about next year, because he's in full decline....
I'm all in favor of rolling the dice. LMA is getting up there in age. My claims he could continue playing at a high level in 2018-2019 as he did in 2017-2018 were met with a lot of skepticism, but even being more of a finesse player I would expect we begin to see some form of drop off next season at the age of 34. Marco has improved greatly from the beginning of the season, but fortunately the G position on the roster is the strong point. With Gasol the Spurs gain a boon to the starting defense who can still grind out some points in the paint in exchange for a 3 pt shooter off the bench. I believe Forbes could replace Marco in that regard and we can see what the Spurs have with Lonnie Walker who is a part of the future which Marco is not. If it's one thing Pop has been capable of it's been making chicken salad out of chicken shit at the 2. See Danny Green, Gary Neal, Jon Simmons, Forbes, etc.

Is anyone capable of challenging a healthy GS team in the playoffs? The questions about Boogie appear to have been answered and they look borderline unstoppable with Boogie in the lineup, there appear to be no lingering issues from the Achilles injury. You have a starting lineup consisting of 5 all stars 4 of which who can put up 30 points on any given night with a defensive stalwart added into the mix, GS is beginning to pull ahead in what was an extremely tight race in the west riding a 10 game win streak.

I'm thinking who wouldn't at ANY point?
Ever?
Pau had a very diverse skill set in his prime and could effectively play the 4 or 5 at an equally high level, Pau also made more all NBA teams in his career. Marc was clearly the better defender and Pau was the better offensive player. You could form legitimate arguments for both players on who was the better of the two. Clearly in the present Pau is a shell of himself and Marc remains a solid contributor. I'd welcome Marc to the Spurs at the expense of Pau in a heart beat.

I saw this on SI.com. Would you do it? I have to admit that I would be tempted, but I haven't looked at the contracts of either Gasol or Conle, and this doesn't exactly help a youth movement.
Grizzlies send: Marc Gasol, Omri Casspi
Spurs send: Pau Gasol, Marco Belinelli, Raptors’ 2019 firstAdmittedly, it would be entertaining to see Marc and Pau traded for one another again under very different circumstances. The Spurs are a team that still values playing multiple bigs, and Marc Gasol’s skill level and overall effectiveness is an upgrade over his brother, who has mostly come off the bench this season in San Antonio. Marc is owed more money than Pau through 2020, but also probably stands a better chance of generating a return on his salary number. San Antonio has the guard depth to deal Belinelli and an extra pick with Toronto’s first, which will convey this year and end up a selection somewhere in the late 20s. The Spurs are back in playoff position, but are in the thick of a tight race, and upgrading their rotation up front for this year and next might be worth dealing that draft choice. Gasol and LaMarcus Aldridge wouldn’t exactly be a mobile pairing, but would certainly create problems for opposing defenses.
Something like this might be the best Memphis can do when it comes to dealing Gasol (and bringing back Pau for a farewell tour does have a certain value when it comes to business optics). At a glance, there just aren’t a ton of teams that should be leaping to add a guy like him on a contract that significant. If the Grizzlies are intent on getting a draft pick back for him, they might also have to eat a bad contract as a makeweight. On paper, there just aren’t many teams that need Gasol badly enough to flip much of substance.
I'd take Marc over Pau in a heart beat, then again who wouldn't at this point? The Spurs have struggled with Pau returning, they played better when he was on the shelf. Memphis is going to go all in on a rebuild so ditching Marc for Pau who they can waive and stretch for a minimal impact makes sense.

Rick Barnes was fired for compiling a 402-180 record and presently sits at #1 in the country. Shaka has compiled an impressive 61-59 record, a losing season and several one and dones in the tourney. Get this over paid clown out of here, please!

Garrett fucking Gilbert. He was soft and accounted for the only losing season during Mack's tenure as HC. We all believed he was going to be the next big thing and so did Mack because he put all his eggs in that basket and when GG flopped it fucked the team for the foreseeable future with a legacy QB and a 3 star who was intended to be a clipboard holder left to fill the void.
Mason Walters was the #1 Guard in the country and he was terrible.
That 2009 class was Mack's biggest failure out of all his recruiting classes. There was so much hype and very few of those players contributed much of anything.

Definitely purchasing a ticket along with the new album.
QuoteThe surviving members of STATIC-X's original lineup — bassist Tony Campos, drummer Ken Jay and guitarist Koichi Fukuda — will embark on the "Wisconsin Death Trip" 20th-anniversary tour in June. Co-headlining the trek will be DEVILDRIVER, with support from DOPE.

Anyone that wasn't a Rockets fan knew that Melo was going to flop after the OKC debacle (That was totally on Russ and PG). Talking about a roller coaster decline dating back to last season, it wasn't even gradual. I was never a fan of Melo, he was nothing more than a ball stops here volume shooter with a shitty attitude who failed to win anything of significance during his NBA career. Last season was a clear indication he was washed up, I'll be surprised if any teams bother kicking the tires on that bum.

Patriots have adapted over the years especially with Brady losing some arm strength - relying more and more on short / quick throws which generally eliminate the pressure concern, even with 2 players as good as Donald and Suh. If pressure becomes an issue of any sort, they'll screen the Rams into bolivion.
This is great matchup for New England offensively. Outside of Talib the Rams back 7 isn't very good. It will likely be death by a thousand cuts with New England getting tons of intermediate route yardage.
Some teams have an answer for that as well.
-
LA has a legitimate shot if Suh, Donald and Brockers can consistently generate pressure on Brady. The NYG teams that defeated the Patriots successfully generated interior pressure and consistently collapsed the pocket with 4 man rushes. It flustered Brady and threw him off his game, LA has the best defensive line in the NFL. It's quite the feat for a 3tech DE in a 3-4 scheme who faces double teams on more than 70% of his snaps to accumulate 20 sacks.

The aggy suffer from an inferiority complex and they're scared to renew the rivalry, they'll never get over being the maroon headed bastard stepchildren. New conference, same old mediocre aggy toiling around at just over .500 in SEC games. The silliest shit I've ever witnessed was that simulation they were thumping their chests about several weeks ago. I'm going to laugh when they end up 7-5 next season and lose to Mack in the Music City bowl.

Can't deny his talent, sick of seeing New England in the Super Bowl year in and year out.

Whenever someone suggests trading Patty, they show their ass. Now that the Big 3 have vacated, he's the unquestioned leader of the team. Period.
PATFO know there is more to winning basketball than pure on court talent. Chemistry, experience, and attitude make a world of difference.Not sure if troll or srs?

Holy shit, what a fucking terrible idea...... If PATFO did that, they should be shot out back. Wiggins contract is top 5 for WORST in the NBA and there's 4 more years of it. That's what stupid people who don't know basketball on video games do.
You take on reclamation projects on low cost contracts, not max contracts. The Twolves would kiss us if we took on Wiggins' contract. At least it's good to see the writer is getting excoriated in the comments. He needs to be.
I agree with you. It would be nice to dump off Gasol and Mills, but not at the expense of an underachieving player with an albatross of a contract.

QuoteTrading Patty Mills and Pau Gasol gives Minnesota a waive on Pau’s final season and a back-up point in Patty Mills. That’s a lot more room to bring in a free agent.
The Spurs eat the 5-year contract, but their future is locked in. With a young, solid core, the Spurs are looking more set for a serious title run in the next couple of seasons.
