Pau crying again

[Godzuki]

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/12/13/pau-gasol-expresses-frustration-with-dantoni-offense-lakers-have-to-think-trade/


thing is the only thing that changes is his post passing but everything is a lot slower and becomes a Pau-centric halfcourt or iso offense. he is still a completely hot and cold short J based player either way. i mean its not like he's not getting the open short looks in DAntoni's. right?

[STATUTORY]

:facepalm wish Stern never vetoed us trading his sorry ass 3 years ago

[Nick Young]

imagine a Mamba/CP3 backcourt:bowdown:

[Levity]

with the rumors floating around about zbo to the pelicans, i wouldnt be a laker fan without suggesting, zbo to NOR, Anderson to LAL, Gasol to Memphis.

:lol :lol

[STATUTORY]

imagine a Mamba/CP3 backcourt:bowdown:

and if you look at the trade that Stern approved for "basketball reasons" it was worse than the lakers offer in retrospect

[branslowski]

I agree with Pau. Dantoni's offence doesn't fit a "low post" structure of Gasol. Reading that, it seems Lakers must trade Pau, because he's clearly not happy, which means he won't give effort newhere. This is why over the last 2 games he's allowed subpar type players to have career games against him causing Lakers to lose..

Who do we trade him to? I wouldn't mind sending him to Boston with along with Wes Johnson and future picks for Jeff Green.

[SpecialQue]

I love Pau. He's my favorite current Laker. As much as I'd hate seeing him on another team, he clearly needs to be traded. Get him to the Spurs or Heat, hell even the Thunder for whatever they have to offer. I want to see a team use him properly.

[Nick Young]

Pau for Klay Thompson+Bogut, Pau brings championship leadership and post scoring to a young warriors team.

Heat can offer Haslem, Battier and Anthony, all expirers, but then their luxury tax hit goes up.

u need to watch more games buddy....this MF shys away from contact and he has the balls to say this:

[QUOTE]

[gts]

It's a combination of things. He's not getting the ball where he wants it but Pau's been playing fairly soft in the paint this year due to injuries. If you watch the games he's getting pushed around more than usual. If he wants the ball in the post he needs to fight for some position and stop waiting for somebody to open the door for him.

His offensive numbers are actually slightly better in the PF position than when he plays center.. Playing time is about even in both spots.. his defensive numbers are the biggie, he's getting abused when he plays center, just destroyed, where when he defends the PF spot it's more inline with his usual numbers

[pegasus]

Pau's offense has disappeared years ago and now can't defend for shit either. I hate Miami, but they can have him for Haslem and Cole. I'd love to see Bosh bitch slap him.

[branslowski]

u need to watch more games buddy....this MF shys away from contact and he has the balls to say this:



if you look he has the full permission to go into the post and do his thing...but he keeps taking 15-18ft shots for no reason.....

thats on offense...on defense he doesnt even pretend to play any....shy's away from contact like he has allergy...

he is pouting cause of Kobe's contract....he needs to go...lakers missed the boat and now they are not going to get anything substantial for this moron

its time for both to go separate way....we gave him 57mil/3yrs....and he has not proven anything to the fans that he is worth it...constant b!tching...

if Phil Jackson asks u to MAN up then u have a problem

I have watched all of but 1 of MY TEAMS games, and I agree with everything your saying, but that doesn't change the fact that this offence doesn't fit Pau's abilities fully.

[Levity]

all i can think of when someone mentions pau is when he tried backing markief morris into the paint their last game, went for a hook over his right shoulder, and SPLAT! rejected right back into pau.

thats essentially what he has become. theres no reason for a 6'9/6'10" forward should be doing that to 7' pau. pathetic.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Oh my wow, Lakers overrating Pau. Shock

We'll give you Faverani and Humphries for Pau & a pick

[branslowski]

The offense might work more to his advantage he he performed better.. Why is anyone going to run plays for a guy who is shooting below league average in the paint? If he wants more touches in the paint then deliver the goods when you get the ball down there

I love Pau and have been one of his biggest apologists but as Kobe says time to put on your big boy pants and get to work

[BlackWhiteGreen]

:oldlol: No.

Lakers would take Brook Lopez and Alan Anderson only, for Gasol.

we'll throw Jordan Crawford in for Kobe? EXPIRER

[Levity]

Yeah, pau's actually been getting good looks in good spots the last few games.

Kobe especially has been trying to get the ball to Pau close the basket. but due to kobes rust and pau's lack of a stellar performance, the passes are a little off. regardless, pau isnt able to finish.

[branslowski]

we'll throw Jordan Crawford in for Kobe? EXPIRER

Fixed my post, was thinking bout Nets for some reason.

exactly...post play starts by getting a good post position...if you are allergic to contact then forget about it...this guy gets slapped like a little b!tch

guys who have career games against him are mostly nobodies:

Nene : 30pts +
Amir Johnson: 30pts +
Marcus M + his brother: 22pts + & 15+ pts

list goes on.....

[BlackWhiteGreen]

It's cool, I'll be a Nets fan in April (if they get there :oldlol:)

You can have one of the two, and Wallace for Gasol and Johnson, no picks

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

i forgot to add Anthony davis score 32 on his old a$$ and so did Timofey Mozgov abused him

[Twiens]

Please trade this *****, sick of watching him post at the 3 point line

[gyu]

imagine a Mamba/CP3 backcourt:bowdown:
I'd be interested in seeing how this works. Even with Nash, Kobe was the main ball-handler and Nash became a spot up shooter.

[Element]

Shades of last year before Kobe told him to not move from the restricted area or FT-line downwards. Only difference is that last year he was at least finishing well when given the opportunity to post up, this year half of his shots are way off or short.

It has been a steep decline for Pau :cry:

[Element]

That's because Nash was old. Did you watch him last year? He struggled to get the ball up the court against some of the better defending PGs.

I feel bad for Pau. Yeah he sucks this year but just how disrespected he is by "Laker fans" is disgusting especially when they're booing him at home games. Y'all realize 09 and 10 championships would have never happened if it wasn't for Pau right?

Give him his due respect.

story never ends, every season paus on the trade block he ends up staying with us & getting abused down low :facepalm

Nash couldn't breakdown a pylon off the dribble. I swear I don't think people on this site actually watch any games. CP3 may be a flopping bitch, but he's the type of guy that would stand up to Kobe and take control of the offense.

[BlackVVaves]

No doubt Pau's been ineffective, but can we talk about the unwarranted stubbornness of D'Antoni? Bill Plasche (sp?) has an article in the LA times detailing how Mike continues to critique Pau in the media, yet has not once spoke to Pau one on one to criticize him or offer any constructive insight.

Pau says emphatically that Mike has not spoken to him, to which a few moments later Mike admits he hasn't. His reply "He knows what he has to do."

What? Aren't you the coach? Isn't it your job to meet with your players and...coach them??? But instead you throw him under the bus in the media?

What has Mike's system ever won? Pau has been to 3 Finals as a Laker, what has D'Antoni ever done?

[Solefade]

y'all aren't just calling him out, you guys been running him out of town for the past couple seasons lol

This.

From what I've read of D'Antoni he seems to alienate players more than encourage.

[Heavincent]

lol at D'Antoni's response


"It's also a nice excuse not to play hard," D'Antoni said. "That's a classic, 'I don't know what I'm supposed to do.' Well, you don't have trouble getting up to the paystub line"

D'Antoni is such an asshole :oldlol:

ya and he is right...fcuking Pau needs to shut the fcuk up...and play hard...go for rebounds....play defense...and then hustle to get the post position...

[Heavincent]

http://deadspin.com/mike-dantoni-throws-some-major-shade-at-pau-gasol-1482855310

Not all that surprising actually. D'Antoni has always been known for insulting his players.

[KobeRules24]

Pau is right about this. D'Antoni has been terrible, first trying to turn him into a 3 point shooter and has never been able to figure out how to use him. Mike should get fired for this and many reasons.

[KobesFinger]

I've seen him miss many shots which are make-able for him. I also noticed that whenever he tries to post up he's (A) too far away from the basket which is partly his fault and partly the system's, and (B) he takes one dribble but isn't strong enough so it limits what he can do. He needs to make his legs stronger so he has an easier time backing people down

[MVBallin2K]

Typically I tend to agree with posts like this because people do disrespect him but he deserves it this year. Pau seems like a nice guy but he's been plagued by injuries the past few years and isn't playing at a good level. That game he got booed in, he shot horrible, barely played defense and was making mistakes.

It's one thing if you're making mistakes but playing hard but if you're lacking on defense and offense, why are fans going to keep quiet?

[NumberSix]

Pau is a poussy. Dude makes like $19m a year. Da fux you sad foe? Bang a few "escorts". That should cheer you up.

[rezznor]

but I thought Pau was gonna dominate again once that overrated Howard left and Gasol could return to his comfort zone?


great way to treat the guy who won y'all 2 chips, lakers fans

[gts]

He actually said that? :biggums:

yep, he seemed to be joking.. at least the soundbite i heard it sounded like he was...

D'Antoni doesn't pull his punches, he's going to say what he's going to say and anybody who's followed him over the years knows this...

Pau also needs to learn who to talk to and who not to... Plaschke hates D'Antoni has for years going back to the Lakers Suns rivalry years ago... From the second D'Antoni landed in LA Plaschke has been on his nuts... Pau couldn't have picked a better writer to open up to if he wants to make some noise...

Here's my feelings on PAu though.... I've supported Pau from the beginning, anyone who knows me knows Pau's my boy.. when Jackson and Kobe were calling Pau out years ago I defended him, when he was having troubles playing next to Bynum I was in favor of Pau getting the touches. When the Howard to LA talks heated up it was Bynum I wanted traded...

Pau's complained about his touches or lack of from Jackson through to Brown and now D'Antoni, I've always agreed, he needs the ball more because his shooting and passing is by far some of the best of any big man in the league

When D'Antoni took over last year and Pau was struggling I was still a Pau guy through it all.. I still am but this season he's not pulling his weight, his defense is beyond atrocious and that has nothing to do with D'Antoni's system or where Pau gets his touches...

He's getting killed on the boards and frankly looks like a guy who's phoning it in most the time... His scoring in the paint is horrid for a big man as he misses wide open chippie after another he's getting shots blocked by anyone in the vicinity.. I'm just not seeing anything on the floor that warrants the Lakers trying to accommodate Pau by tweaking the system further... Until Pau starts taking advantage of the shots in the low post he is getting now or until he starts making the most of the playing time on both ends of the floor with some serious effort if I'm D'Antoni I'm going to keep looking until I find somebody who will...

[SpecialQue]

Mike Brown was a better coach than the piece of shit the Lakers currently have. I refuse to believe that Pau's performance just magically happened because "now he sucks." If the Lakers are so fvcking sold on this idiot coach, then trade Pau and be done with it. I just think it's interesting that the Lakers only started having their players sustaining major injuries (some potentially career-ending) after hiring this clown to do his f@gg0ty run and gun bullshit with senior citizens.

If he were the GM of the Lakers along with coach, he'd probably do it in a heartbeat. I can picture him sitting there thinking about all the threes that he would get out of him without a care in the world about any other aspect of the game.

I'm taking my anger out on D'antoni, but I agree with this. Remember that great night he had when he was playing for charity? He still has games like that in him, but for whatever reason he doesn't feel like bringing that effort every night.

[longtime lurker]

lol at D'Antoni's response



D'Antoni is such an asshole :oldlol:

:facepalm wow talk about lack of class from D'Antoni. Both these guys need to man up and keep this kind of shit in house. Pau needs to stop being a bitch because the team was playing well in spite of him when Kobe was out not because of him. Dude always complains about post ups, but then does nothing with his opportunities. The Lakers are ranked 30th in the NBA in points from the post. 30!

yep I do... And I was happy for him.. even made a couple posts in the game thread pointing out how good he looked

I think part of his struggles are his knees are bad, he's probably still getting in game shape.. he didn't touch a ball all summer so he could rest and now his ankle is hurting him and that's fine too BUT if you want more touches and you're going to start placing blame on others you better make sure you're at least giving the team your all...

This will probably play out like it did when Jackson was the couch...lol Pau complained, Jackson called him out for half efforts and Pau would suddenly find the fire again...

Pau has been getting the touches and still manages to get his shit blocked, stripped, or simply bricked. His effort on defense paired with his slow footed-ness has been atrocious. He can only blame the system he's playing in for so long - he was the primary offensive option when the Lakers weren't pick and rolling themselves to oblivion. But still failed to be efficient or effective.

With that said, D'Antoni is a stubborn dickhead, who behaves as if his "system" has achieved anything of notable significance in regards to the ultimate goal of a team - winning championships. His version of the offense that DON NELSON created has done nothing but flamed out sooner or later. He doesn't know how to adapt or manage superstars, the most important qualities of an NBA coach, and that's why he'll continue to be an incompetent prick who watches the NBA Finals from home every year.

Depends on the trade. First off any vet coming in has to be an expiring contract and if it involves young talent it would have to be someone they'd want to keep long term or it would have to include a decent draft pick...

if it doesn't fit that description I'd rather see them ride out the season with what they have... honestly it's not like a trade is going to be a big game changer for them... the roster was built to get them to next summer and see if they can find any talent along the way... it was never built to contend... basically you have Kobe, Nash Gasol and 12 other guys with a season long audition

Pau is my favourite big man all time, but yeah, his time is coming to an end here. I'm ok with just letting him leave in free agency. LA probably wouldn't get much of anything by trading him.
