Pau really does not want to leave. I can see him taking reduced salary to stay in LA. 30mpg at center in today's league wouldn't be too difficult for him.

Only thing LA would really be missing is a rim protector.

Bruh.. :to:

If that shyt happened I might even PayPal you some cash for putting this positive shyt out into the universe

As big a of a Bish Pau Gasol has been over the last 2 or 3 Years i think he is the closest bridge to us competing legitimately in the West. So we gotta keep him. As long as its not about $10 Million im cool with whatever deal they shoot his way. He has earned it. And can do damage in the post when motivated.

If Nash is waived. That would leave us with Roughly $18 Million remaining to spend. Plus the $2.7 Mill Exception. Along with Min Contracts.

A Core of Kobe, Pau and Randle is a good start. We probably have a slot for one $10 -$15 Million dollar deal (Melo, Bledsoe, Heyward, Parsons, Lowry etc)

Mitch has the resources. Im going to place my faith in him. I say by July 4th weekend we should have a feel for what the new squad is going to be. Cant wait. Been a long year my nikkaz!

TYRONE GA!
Parsons is definitely a good cop. Resign Pau. And maybe Bledsoe with Lowry as the backup plan. Steal a Spurs assistant to coach? :patrice:

I said they needed to bring Pau back for most of the season. People get frustrated with his play at times, but if he's on the team as a third or fourth option instead of first, everyone will change their tune. They should have a coach using him properly this upcoming season for the first time since Phil, too.

Look if Pau come back, then i would prefer lionel hollins over scott even though scott said if he get hired he's focusing more on the low post game more than anything else..

I want a point guard lowry that's the first thing, then i want players ( GUARDS ESPECIALLY) who can play fukking defense especially with a guard oriented west. then get me some big men cause randle will be in foul trouble all year since he's a rookie
