What would you guys give up for Pau Gasol?


Panthers Nation

Recommended Posts

Im a Panthers/Lakers fan just wanted to know what would you guys give up for Pau Gasol?

Pau/Dwight just doesn't fit,and he will likely get traded if we continue to lose.I think he would be a nice fit on the Bobcats and would likely make you guys a playoff team.

As a Lakers fan I would offer Pau for Mullens/Gordon/filler to make salaries match.

lol didn't know you guys still want to rebuild,I was thinking maybe you want to make the playoffs this year and give your fans something to cheer for.

*Also not sure if the guy who compared Mullens to a poor man's Gasol was serious or joking but their game is nothing alike.Mullens is a shooter,Gasol plays in the post and can pass/shoot/rebound he's an all around player.

I respect you guys opinion though,it probably would be a bad move since you guys are looking to rebuild.

Don't worry. We don't want any Lakers player.

We're a smart group and we're willing to sacrifice to win in the future.

Maybe you were trying to get us to talk about a MKG for Gasol? No.

I think he'd fit, yeah were uptempo but thats more directed to the guards and SF, its not like Mullens/Tyrus/Haywood/Biz are running on the break with us. Pau is a pretty good outlet passer and would probably help our breaking if anything. Also, we are an "uptempo, go to the rim" team but a lot of our possessions have been getting close to the shot clock ending in crappy drives to the hoop because we dont have that great post threat.

Pau would make our team a whole lot better for sure.

still dont want him

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
