bc he has 5 points and 1 rebound?

calm down, it's not him...JV could do what he's done and we could use Dwrights length and defense off the bench.

Gasol is basically a 7 foot Lowry. You can't measure his impact in simple stats.

JV gave Embiid fits and the philly ppl were even talking abt it.

Embiid is sick or injured. it's not gasol. JV would even hit his 3's

i don't care what the haters gotta say. i love gasol and everything he does.

high iq player, playmaker, tremendous defender, and an even better leader. exactly what this team needs to be successful in the playoffs.

Only part of the trade that hurts is losing Delons length. Thats it.
