Is Marc Gasol worth max money?

[christian1923]

Would you want your team to throw 100 million at him?

I don't think you can win a championship if a third tier player like Marc Gasol is taking up over a third of your cap. He's not gonna lead you to a championship.

Plus he's a big man going into his 30's and he's battled weight issues before. All it takes is one foot injury and you're stuck with an overpaid fat guy who can pass and make a jumper.

Its laughable to think not...

[JohnFreeman]

Amare got max, and Gasol is a better player

[qrich]

His age and injury history is a concern, but considering what some other bigs are making, he absolutely is.

[Smook A.]

He's not worth it, but he'll probably get it.

[Eric Cartman]

Roy Hibbert got the max.

ROY ****ING HIBBERT.

The guy that couldn't record a point or a rebound against the Hawks last playoffs.

That's not the point.

Of course he is.. quality big men are hard to come by, guys Like Gasol who is arguably one of best bigs playing today are even rarer...

you throw everything you got to get him or keep him

[gts]

That's not the point.

it actually is very much part of the discussion... what other bigs get paid play a part in determining the market

[christian1923]

Tiago Splitter
Chris Anderson
Joel Anthony
Andrew Bynum
Perkins
Tyson chandler


These are the centers that have been playing in the finals.

Wing players and a PG are what you need.

[Eric Cartman]

That's not the point.

To answer your question, yes he deserves it.

DPOY, great facilitator and shooter for a big, has great chemistry with the current guys, and we saw how much they missed him last year.

As a Knicks fan, I do not want them to offer him the max. He's having a great year, but he will never have one like this again.

That doesn't prove that he's worth it though for a team with championship aspirations.

[christian1923]

That's what I'm scared of.

I did want him earlier this offseason but I just know this guy would he a huge bust if he came to NY for max money

So if I'm down 10 points with 3 minutes left in a game against Lebrons team, I can count on Marc Gasol to bring the team back? Cause that's what I need from my Max Players or else I'm losing.
