NBA Executives Believe Gasol May Land In Charlotte

Gasol, though, will have options. A poll of NBA executives on Gasol's future returned many of the same answers: Chicago. Cleveland. Charlotte, if the Bobcats believe a Gasol-Al Jefferson front line can stop anybody. Memphis, if Zach Randolph opts out. Even after a disappointing season -- and with the understanding that Gasol has never been a strap-a-team-on-his-back kind of player -- Gasol will be among the most sought after free agents on the market.

His defense isn't all there, but Cliff has worked wonders on Big Al; there's no reason he couldn't do the same with Gasol.

 

On top of that, Gasol is a very similar player to Cody and Gasol could easily help Cody take his game to the next level.

 

It will be interesting to see how free agency plays out this year.

I don't think it would to be honest. Gasol has what... maybe two or three years left (I'd offer him a two year deal that way his and Al's deals are up at the same time leaving us with a poo ton of money).

In those two years Cody could learn a bunch from Gasol and then take over as the permanent starter after those two years.

I wouldn't be opposed to throwing a 2 yr/$28 mil contract out there for Pau. He gets 14 a year and the Cats still have $6 mil in cap space to work with so they can re-sign CDR and Pargo plus sign their draft picks and. Personally, I'd package the first and second pick to move up two or three spots to maybe draft a guy like T.J. Warren and then just sign a back-up point guard like Jerryd Bayless.

PG: Kemba Walker, Jerry Bayless, Jannero Pargo

SG: Gerald Henderson, Jeff Taylor, Gary Neal

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Chris Douglas-Roberts, T.J. Warren

PF: Pau Gasol, Cody Zeller, Josh McRoberts

C: Al Jefferson, Bismack Biyombo, Brendan Haywood

That is a super deep team that could easily be a top four team in the east.

Yeah I would enjoy that lineup, not super hyped on Gasol but if it was 1-2 yr deal I'm ok with it. Would support the Warren pick. Solid scoring option worth a late rd pick. Drop Bayless and give me Hinrich/Sessions in my opinion. Never been a huge Bayless fan

I don't know if we can get Sessions or Hinrich for only $2 mil though.

The Pau Gasol you saw this year would not be the Pau Gasol that the Hornets would be getting.

Pau was considered a top 10 player at his position for the longest time until Dwight arrived in L.A and the two butted heads. This was supposed to be Pau's recovery year but then everyone and their mom got hurt and Pau had to literally strap a team on his back that was running Jordan Farmar at the point until he got hurt.

Pau would be a solid player for Charlotte because he can go back to what he did best... score. Besides Jefferson the Bobcats to not have a legitimate scoring threat and to compete with teams like Miami and Indiana... you need two things, 1) Points and 2) Length. Pau provides both of those things.

Not to mention the fact that Cody would get tutelage from a player that has nearly an identical game him.

Personally, I think Pau would be a great addition to the team as long as he commits to playing both sides of the game (offense and defense).

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
