You think he is going to stay in this cash strapped team? Or go to a team like his hometown team that may have Durant, a former MVP 

And then you think Gasol isnt going to opt out once Kemba leaves

 

This team will be in the dark with No Kemba,No Gasol, No Monk, No 1st round pick

The hope is that they run the deal by Kemba.

Kemba reaction...

It's happening.  Just sounds like we're waiting to hear who.

My guess: Biz, Frank & Bacon...With maybe a 2nd (Or 1st Lottery protected)?

Shams Charania: Memphis will sit Marc Gasol out tonight. The Grizzlies and Hornets are still discussing framework of deal, including matching the salary necessary to meet Gasol’s $24.1M contract, sources said.

If we're talking Bridges or Monk, I'm keeping Bridges. Monk has started playing better recently, but we can replace most of him with Bacon. Bridges is more important piece.

Hopefully the deal falls through when Chris Wallace realizes that Frank The Tank isn't an actual tank and Malik Monk isn't a part of a religious group of men who wear robes.

No one with any real sources have brought up Monk in the discussions. He also doesn’t make any sense money wise. 

I would think Bismack and Frank are Locks due to salaries and when the contracts expire. Everything else is up in the air.

The deal is falling apart!!!

Probably means we aren't willing to bend over backwards to acquire a 34 year old center.

I am sure we have made our final offer and Memphis is trying to see if they can attract any other buyers before the deadline.

I’m fine with that. The trade was ass unless we dumped a contract with it. Oh well, maybe someone will take Batum.

Let them keep him, a first rounder, a couple of seconds, and $7M of cap relief is more than enough.

I remember Al Jefferson declined drastically going into his 12th season as a pro, I fully expect Gasol to as well.

I mean if we are able to get him at the deadline without dealing Monk or Bridges it's a win for us.

No deal is actually good after the Monk and 1st talk.  Whew.

lemme just say - about 4-6 years ago we were linked to trading for Pau Gasol and people were like "He's too old!!!!!!" - then he balled out in Chicago and San Antonio and was very effective for both teams.. now we are linked to his bro and we are saying the same things.. I think even a 34yr old Marc Gasol - would be our 2nd best player..

more of a conviction on the rest of the team than on Marc though..
