Title: Pau Gasol?
Post by: KGBirdBias on June 17, 2018, 05:42:04 PM
Would Pau Gasol be a good replacement for Baynes? Or is he done? LOL

Pau Gasol is going to certainly exercise his $16 million player option. So no.

No way. Unplayable vs. GSW

16 mil next year and 8 mil buyout for 2019-2020 season

First we have a Joakim Noah thread on here a few days ago, now this??!?!?  ???

He's done. Cooked. Washed. Toast. All of them.

Maybe if he gets a buyout by mid-season or next year, otherwise at that salary no way.

Yep, dude has looked like expired milk out there for the last two years, lol ;D, plus, he's a former Laker, so put me down for "do not want" ;D.

The Celts should try hard to fit Baynes into their plans. He was a very useful player for them this year, providing excellent value for his contract. They won't go over the lux tax to keep him, but finding a way to fit him in would be a wise choice. It's hard to see how they get more value without paying a lot more money and going over the tax threshold before they want to.

He'd be great here 7 years ago.

He’s not cooked and was a useful piece of a very good team in the West for the past couple of years. Equating him to Noah is insane.

His contract is the issue like others say. We can’t afford him.

We definitely NEED Baynes. He is perfect for this team.

I would not like if Gasol signed here.   Just say no!

Salary is the issue.

He's nothing like Noah. He put up 10/8/3/1 last year in 23 minutes and 44% from 3PT the last two years combined.

Doesn't match up well every night, but he's not cooked.

Wow, I didn't know his contract was that bloated...nevermind.
