Woj: Gasol rejects 2 yr 10 mill PER yr deal from LA

[D-Rose]

‏@WojYahooNBA 1m
Pau Gasol turned down a two-year, $10M-plus per deal with the Lakers, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. Likely moving on.


it's 10 mill PER year...my bad fellas.

[fiddy]

Its quite fair for the production he provides

[bballnoob1192]

no way they offered him that. if i was gasol i woulda been like lemme see that contract and then tear it in front of jim buss face for the disrespect.

[BigTicket]

Lol, did they really offer Hill almost twice as much as Gasol ?

[oh the horror]

Yeah. Obviously the plan is to have mostly everyone off the books for the most part after Kobe's contract expires. Pau either looking for more or more years.

[Droid101]

10 million per year is lowball? Dirk and Duncan got lowballed, then.

[Rubio2Gasol]

Okay, Jim Buss is an idiot.

[Thorn]

10 million per year is lowball? Dirk and Duncan got lowballed, then.
no, it's 2 years/10+ mil, so 5/year

[MVBallin2K]

Like I said in the other thread, this is not giving me a good feeling about FA.

They should have offered Pau first and foremost, a bigger deal and if he wanted to go another team, so be it. Instead, they sign Young and Hill and trade for Lin, lessening the cap space. Surely that was just "Here's a token offer Pau, we appreciate what you gave to us" because that couldn't have been serious.

[bballnoob1192]

^^ 10 mill a year or two years 10mil cuz thats a big ****ing difference?

[D-Rose]

10 million per year is lowball? Dirk and Duncan got lowballed, then.
edit: it's 10/yr

[BigTicket]

That tweet is really not clear. How much was the offer ?

[Droid101]

It's 5 mill a year. The bloody MLE from OKC/SAS is more!
No it's not. Read it carefully. It says 10 plus million PER deal. That generally means per year.

If you honestly think the Lakers would offer less than the MLE to keep Pau you're dreaming.

[oh the horror]

no, it's 2 years/10+ mil, so 5/year



Wow. Then I read it wrong as well. Wtf that is low balling lol

[EnoughSaid]

COME TO MIAMI PAU. Pls. We have hot Cuban chicks.

[Akrazotile]

no, it's 2 years/10+ mil, so 5/year

ROFL...****ing Lakers.

Turning into the biggest joke franchise

[zoom17]

Hill gets 9 mill and you offer gasol 5 mil lol

edit :10 mill

[Kidbasketball20]

What a low ball offer :roll:

meanwhile, Hill gets 9 mill a year and Sushi gets 5 mill a year.

I mean, ****ing OKC and SAS can give the MLE to him, why would he take that crappy deal?

:wtf: :wtf:

[D-Rose]

No it's not. Read it carefully. It says 10 plus million PER deal. That generally means per year.
You're right! People all over twitter misread it as well :lol

will change title.

[WeGetRing2012]

I don't know Woj... this doesnt make sense with the Hill news :confusedshrug:

[Levity]

Lol, did they really offer Hill almost twice as much as Gasol ?

um... no

hah you retards need to learn to read

so essentially they gave hill close to what they wanted to give gasol

[fiddy]

Pau is 34 already and has been on the decline for couple of years now, experience is not what we need, we need athleticism and effort, something Pau doesnt have

[alanLA92]

Gasol shouldn't re-sign, gave Hill almost twice as much. Should be other way around.

[jrong]

He knows Miami has a big old pile of money lying around now.

[RoTM]

Pretty stupid of them. Gasol, Randle, Kobe, Lin, Corpse of Nash could have been an ok team. Between Dallas, OK, SA, Miami, Phoenix etc there was too much competition for that to ever fly.

[Akrazotile]

Its 10 mil per year you illiterate sons of bitches

[AnaheimLakers24]

COME TO MIAMI PAU. Pls. We have hot Cuban chicks.
hot mexicanas >>>>>>>> dirty aids infected cuban whores

[$LakerGold]

10 million per year is lowball? Dirk and Duncan got lowballed, then.
5 a year.

[Droid101]

Don't know who he thinks he's going to get more from. Come on Pau.

[aboss4real24]

That was basically the lakers sayn we dont think ur sh it anymore

[Jacks3]

It's 10 mill PER YEAR. :facepalm

[D-Rose]

5 a year.
I misread it. Woj says "10 mill plus PER".

So Pau turned down 2 yrs 20 mill

[Thorn]

Oh, if it's really 10+/year, then he's probably gone.

[Akrazotile]

No, it couldnt. Youre seduced by name value. In reality that is a pitiful team and Kobe will end up faking another injury rather than play and get embarrassed each night.

[MVBallin2K]

Don't know who he thinks he's going to get more from. Come on Pau.

I think at this point he's looking to win a chip over money. So that means he doesn't view a contender in the Lakers and thus, probably could have offered him everything and he wouldn't have taken it.

We kinda deserve it, let's be real. A lot of Laker fans gave him crap over the past few years and he had to be the subject of trade talk. He probably wants a fresh start now.

[The-Legend-24]

Lakers offered JHill what, 9 mil a year? :oldlol:

[alanLA92]

Noticed it said per, so Gasol turned down $20 mill for the next yrs. Either he's still wants to test market or willing to go to contender for less

[D-Rose]

Welp, no more $.


@EricPincus 5m
Lakers are spent on cap room with Hill, Lin and Young -- can still re-sign Bazemore, Kelly - only path to more cap is exiting Nash somehow

[aboss4real24]

wasnt really a loss 4 LAL ,

They have randall and err1 knew pau prolly wasnt gnna re up with them

[fiddy]

Welp, no more $.
I was hoping we could take a shot at Lance

[DMAVS41]

Who the hell is getting Lance?

[fiddy]

Who the hell is getting Lance?
someone insane enough to offer him 15+

Nobody is offering him shit though...right?

Pacers aren't budging and Lakers, a likely destination to overpay, are out of it.

The Heat likely won't with Wade going back.

Not a ton of teams left.

I believe we still have a reserve, we can get rid off Nash and get extra 6 million in caps, not sure it would be enough,

Regarding Pau: top two now Chi/Spurs..if Bulls can't do sign and trade with Lakers, likely he goes to Spurs

Wow. The Spurs would be incredible at using Pau's skill set. Diaw/Gasol off the bench :eek:

[LA_Showtime]

Of course it's $10 million per year. Jesus Christ. We just gave Jordan Hill $9 million per year, do you really think we'd low-ball Gasol like that?

[no pun intended]

I'm pretty sure they offered Hill that contract after Gasol's rejection.

[Riley Martin]

Can they still S&T Gasol to the Knicks, or is that out?

[TMT]

[QUOTE]

[Torious]

Pretty sure they have renounced the Bird Rights for him.. they wouldn't have been able to take on Lin's contract without trading back close to equal value otherwise.

[longtime lurker]

12 million a year will get Lance. Let's be real here. The Pacers lowballed him with a 5/44 offer.

“@ramonashelburne: Regarding Pau: top two now Chi/Spurs..if Bulls can't do sign and trade with Lakers, likely he goes to Spurs”
Oh damn :eek:
OKC out the race. Every ****ing time. :banghead:
