Gonna take a MASSIVE paycut and play with the best duo in the NBA.

I can't think of any other scenario that would serve best for him at this point.

He would be a good fit but defense would be a big issue, unless Ibaka can compensate for him, even though Ibaka was getting really over hyped this season.

His post game would be a HUGE asset.

Who wants to play with 2010 versions of Malone and Stockton

Somebody that would be able to actually catch the ball and finish around the basket after Westbrook penetrations? Dude, let's just give them the chip if this happens.

Probably right. Wouldn't mind seeing him in Cleveland, either.

Pau will re-sign with LAL for the MLE after they S&T for Melo with Nash and Randle and sign Bran.

Farmar(minimum)
Kobe(23.5)
Melo(19.5)
Bran(19.5)
Pau(MLE)

I'm sure he's really looking forward to play for the MLE (something like 5 mil?) when he earned 20 last year.

PG Westbrook
SG Afflalo
SF Durant
PF Ibaka
CF Gasol

With the Afflalo and gasol rumors gaining more steam this looks more and more likely to be the opening day lineup.

No he's not. He's either going to re-sign with the Lakers or go to the Knicks and join Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher.

If he goes to Spurs that is likely another chip. How is that not a better scenario?

I'm tired of people saying Gasol wouldn't accept a role on a team coming off the bench. If he really wants a chance at winning another championship the Spurs would be perfect for him. And he'd have a much larger role than just coming off the bench. He'd probably play a lot backing up Duncan. He'd play a lot of games with Duncan probably and starting at C. He'd have a big role on the Spurs. I'd love to see him on the Spurs.
