    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.

    https://www.si.com/nba/2019/01/25/grizzlies-mike-conley-marc-gasol-spurs-mavericks-pelicans-potential-trade-scenarios

    Grizzlies send: Marc Gasol, Omri Casspi
    Spurs send: Pau Gasol, Marco Belinelli, Raptors’ 2019 first

    Admittedly, 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. Definitely purchasing a ticket along with the new album.

    The 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.

     

  5. 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.

     

     

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    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.

    Trading 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.

    What a shame! I guess they could stop being pussies, do the unthinkable and join the conference. The P5 teams that are in the playoffs have to contend with an additional game in their respective conference championship games, not Notre Dame. I'm tired of watching these frauds consistently having their asses smeared in marquee bowl games. They haven't won a notable bowl game since the 1990s and only appeared in the BCS national championship game back in 2012 because Ohio St was on probation.

    They are really missing Rudy Gay right now especially defensively, believe it or not. And Bellineli has been playing really well during the most recent stretch but he was out last night. He kinda makes that second unit tick.

    But the bigger problem is that Derozen has been in a really bad shooting slump lately.  He's only made 25 of his last 71 FGA and he's not getting to the line. They need his scoring and they need him to be a lot more efficient.

    It also seemed like last night was also just one of those nights where the other team was making its shots and the Spurs weren't. Those just happen every now and then. 

    I'm going to chalk up DDR's recent struggles on account of fatigue. Only two players in the NBA are averaging more minutes per game, it couldn't hurt to cut down on his minutes.

  14. Make no mistake about it, the aggy are powerhouses in the SEC (in their own minds). They can hang their hats on that LSU win in 2018, but everyone knows the refs botched the fuck out of that game.  The gomers are 1-6 vs Bama and 1-6 vs LSU in the SEC somehow they've conveniently managed to dodge UGA completely and have only played UF twice.
