Rumors for a Pau trade in spanish newspaper

[FinnTheHuman]

Pau Gasol became a pro at 16. Between FC Barcelona, Memphis, LAL, 13 seasons in the NBA, the play-offs, and the Spanish National Team, Pau Gasol has about 40,000 minutes of basketball on his odometer - and at a position that takes plenty of punishment.

I don't believe that the knee tendonitis excludes old age from being another reason for his giant decline this year.

FC stands for football club Barcelona. Oh you Americans.

@topic I'd rather take Gortat, but only if we get a SG in that deal. If Gasol meant Gasol from 5 years ago, I'd take him feeling like we stole something. At this point, I would just forget about it, knees are knees, it would be too big a risk.

Pekovic this year has a better DRtg and higher defensive win shares than Gortat. Just saying.

[Worm Guts]

There's no way I give up assets just so I can swap Pekovic for Gortat. If for some reason they offer a straight trade, I guess, but I think we're much better off just focusing on a SG.

Not that it matters much but that's not true. He only started having significant minutes with Barcelona's first team when he was 19.

The official name of the basketball team (and any other section of the club) is also FC Barcelona.

Regal is the sponsor.

Hahahah I failed so hard. xD I was searching the net for what FC stands for, and there was no answer. It seems that they just took it from the football club name, no logic included. Really strange.

Never question shrink.

Hey guys just wanted to update you on the Pau rumor,according to our GM he wants to give Pau 2 weeks to see how he plays with Nash,they told him if he doesn't fit in they will look to trade him.So I don't really see anything happening anytime soon because I expect Pau to accept the challenge and play well because he loves LA.

LOL! When it comes to me bringing up a name - better to never put any faith in it!

Thank you. I've been wondering for years what FC stood for.

It's not that strange, simply the club was first created as a football club and the other sports were added later.
There are many clubs with "odd" names like tat, in Argentina for instance you have football teams that belong to multisport clubs named "Gimnasia y esgrima (gymnastics and fencing) de La Plata" or basketball teams like "Regatas (rowing) de Corrientes" depending on the sport the original club was founded for.

Still doesn't make enough sense.

Well here you go

“@DarrenWolfson: Didn't happen. “@mnsportsinsider: @DarrenWolfson Have you been able to verify if the #TWolves offered Pek for Pau?””

Well it is nice to be reaffirmed, but that won't help the rampant trade board stupidity. Once ESPN says something it is fact.
