Keep in mind he shot down the franchise the franchise that drafted him for 3/30mil
Keep your expectations low
Man I rather get Gasol, what happened to that story?!
Nuthin, there was a flurry of news about OKC & SA interested in Gasol, then we flew out to meet with him, and we did meet with him at least once, possibly twice (reporting conflicts on this front), there has been no reporting whatsoever about how that meeting went, and now we're talking to Deng & his people.
Whatever happened in the Gasol meeting, nobody is leaking it either way.
You have to wonder if the flurry of interest in Gasol was in part an attempt to drive up his price right before we met with him....
That's what I'm thinking. Just like when people reported Heat were meeting with Lowry in the morning but that was fake lol
...which is why you try to keep it on the DL as to who your team is chasing and meeting with, so as to avoid other teams feigning interest when they really have none for no other purpose than to make negotiations difficult and drive up the price (if not kill the deal altogether)
