Hell no on Gasol.
I dont get why, but people on here have an obsession with guys in the "ageing and oft-injured fringe stars who are now declining towards borderline role player status" category.
I somewhat get it for guys like Dwight and Melo since those guys at least were once legit superstars, but Mark Gasol??
Marc Gasol is just another Al Horford. He's a good all round player who you could argues has never even been the best player on his own team, who is now past his prime and coming off a season ending injury (after going through injuries his whole career).
I really wouldn't like the idea of signing him unless it was an absolute last resort and were unable to get somebody younger and more talented, and i wouldn't trade any assets of significant future or current value for him.
If we could snag him on a firesale bargain ( unlikely) then fine, but otherwise not interested.
This is a young team and we arent going to lure guys like Durant into signing long term contracts here by signining former stars who have a couple of years left in the tank.
I also don't get This forum wide obsession with the idea that simply being skilled and unathletic somehow means your game will age better.
Guys like Ewing amd Shaq were shadows of their former selves by the time they reached 33-34 years of age. Neither of those guys relied a whole lot on athleticism.
KG was crazy athletic, and his games was largely strengthened by that, yet he still remained effective to the age of 35-36.
Age and injuries slow guys down, plain and simple. The guys who stick around longest are the guys who are lucky enough to have bodies that don't break down as soon. No matter what style of game a guy has, relying on ageing 7 footers with major injuries is very risky business.
