I don't really know if Fletch is a good source :hihi:
But I wouldn't hate it, if it was a decent deal and very short term. Would not want to give him a 3 or 4 year deal at all, and wouldn't want to give him big money. His decline is obvious. -
06-22-2019, 10:05 PMP_B_&_GHe's either going to try and get one last payday or re-up for a repeat. I honestly wouldn't mind him at the right price because he would come off the books at the right time. He is a little long in the tooth thoughQuote:

Original source not from Fletch. Does Fletch speak Spanish?
-
06-22-2019, 10:13 PMPelicanidaeFletch barely speaks English.Quote:

06-22-2019, 10:18 PMTim FloydNo but Fletch is the original source. The Spanish article is going off Fletch's rumor and it said nothing. Just speculated that the Pels might be interested in Gasol.Quote:

Other sources are going with it

06-22-2019, 10:34 PMTim FloydThey're not going with anything, both of the articles are just reporting the rumor and citing Fletch as the source. So consider the source but Fletch has been pretty hit or miss, more miss than anything.Quote:

I will say that this is an entirely new front office that could at least possibly be leaking things. Dell was a Pops guy so it was like the iron curtain but it appears Griff may be okay with leaking certain things. I'm not sure if Fletch is his guy and some of those leaks might be for smoke purposes and to gauge interest.
FLetch sure has been posting a lot of stuff lately with apparent inside sources. Has he been right on anything lately? I haven't been keeping track. -
06-22-2019, 10:54 PMDarkhorse985According to Fletch, AD was getting traded to Boston for Tatum, Smart, and pick 14.Quote:

My key targets for a big man is Lopez for 3 years.
If we want to go big we go for Vicevic.
Gasol would be a solid 1-2 year option.
In that order. -
06-22-2019, 11:05 PM13 - 3That would have happened. You can thank Rich Paul for blocking it. Probably better off with Lakers deal.Quote:

So he was wrong, and the point therefore is that he is liable to report things as likely when it's largely just guesswork.Quote:

The other day Fletch was wanting us to trade for Kevin Love who might have one of the worst contracts out there at the moment. He seems to just throw crap at the wall hoping something sticks. I don’t trust his info all that much.
Gasol will likely take his player option though at $25.6 million. He won’t come anywhere close to that next year in a new deal. I might take him on a 1 to 2 year deal, but if I’m gonna spend some money I rather a younger veteran. He’s still gonna demand a hefty amount being that he’s 7 foot stretch 5 with some passing skills. -

I'm out on Fletch.

Not a rumor. It is another Fletcher tweet that others are picking up as a source.
-
06-23-2019, 02:15 PMMistaWhoDat
Honestly if it comes from any local reporter it’s probably just a guess I wouldn’t put to much into it

If it's fletch then this means nothing to me. But I would actually really like this. He's getting up there in age so please nothing long term but I think he fits in here.
-
06-24-2019, 09:15 AMPELICANSFANI think he would be too expensive. He will be 35 soon and would have to turn down a $24 million PO to become a FA. Personally I think he stays in Toronto.Quote:

Pau is more likely than Marc IMO

I feel like Gasol or Ibaka have good chances of coming our way. Something has to happen there if they resign Kawhi.
We are in a very intriguing position. Lots of teams priming for a run with the Ws down. There will also be a few teams collapsing midway through the season when those dreams crash down. -
06-24-2019, 11:14 AMRobertM320And THIS is when we'll make our move.Quote:

Basil is not a good fit imo. Jaxson Hayes is perfect lol Zion is so good he will make Hayes better.

Fletcher is wrong
Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol is exercising his $25.6M player option for next season, returning to the defending NBA champions, league sources tell ESPN. Gasol could’ve entered free agency.

Well there goes one of our possible options at center. I wasn’t too serious about signing him anyway.

I can see toronto running it back.
