Pau Gasol to Charlotte Bobcats- rumor...

That Portland pick, if the draft was held today, would be a lottery pick (#14). Not sure if I want to give that up for a one and half year rental on Gasol who looks like his tank may be running dry.

Honestly there's only about 4 legit players in this draft (and they will all go top 4 lol) So I wouldn't mind doing this and I'm pretty sure that we would do our best to extend Gasol's contract as soon as he got to the Charlotte

Doubtful anything like this goes down (Lakers wouldn't do it imo), but it would definitely help the Bobcats. It wouldn't make them even an average team yet so they'd still be set for a very high draft pick, but it would help a lot combined with the draft and a pickup or 2 in free agency.

Hendo

MKG

Gasol

2 thoughts here.....he would have to agree to a longer contract with us, and a reasonable one. I know no one

wants to come to Charlotte, but if he could see what we're building, perhaps.

second, we're on track to get the first pick, and right now the only sure thing I see is McLemore. I'd hate to see us

start winning games and end up with the 6th pick for a guy who might play 1.5 years for us

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
