Re: Free Agency Thread **NOW OPEN** PART 2
Looks like we scrambling.
I think Clippers came out of left field and surprised both Serge and the Raptors
Clippers had a rocky start to free agency which is why they were desperate and ultimately got lucky with serge

He's gone for sure. He's looking for reasons to leave. He probably thinks he isn't washed and that Nurse should have played him more minutes.

Just let him leave.
We will start fresh
I mean, it's kind of exciting starting fresh. I would still like to bring Gasol back a year but it does look like he wants to join the Lakers. I can't lie. I would like to see Gasol on the floor with LeBron. That would be some good passing.

Re: Free Agency Thread **NOW OPEN** PART 2
I think Morris and Baynes are both better players than Gasol in this point of their Careers.

Re: Free Agency Thread **NOW OPEN** PART 2
Is glen robinson available? Great 3d depth option
Resigning gasol to use sparingly and situational
But playing with small ball lineups which wouldn’t hurt us vs 95% of the league is probably our best path.

Like we've already lost one center to LA why waste time trying to convince another when there's a replacement that could be gone by then

Re: Free Agency Thread **NOW OPEN** PART 2
I find it funny how all these teams see how we play then start saying we should do that here.
Masai and bobby will figure it out and are always ahead of the game.

Re: Free Agency Thread **NOW OPEN** PART 2
Lakers can’t give Marc more unless he’s moving money and doing a sign and trade. Talen Horton Tucker and Kuzma here we come. Lol
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

I told you guys LeGM saw Raptors as a problem last year and he wanted our pieces, he knows our bigs wwre a problem for AD. GASOL is the remaining big the league that can give AD trouble.. yall are not thinking. Ibaka leaving hurts for sure.

Re: Free Agency Thread **NOW OPEN** PART 2
I wouldn't worry about Gasol. He's old and really shat the bed in the playoffs. We might as well let him go and he might as well play in LA. If it were me, I'd go where I can win too at the tail end of my career.

How'd you find out the Raptors made an offer to Giles? Curious.
What are your thoughts on the FVV signing? Anything to say about that?

I've been pretty even-keel on this offseason and bullish on our ability to play smaller in the frontcourt. But having said that...
Please Masai, for the love of God, no Morris twins. Please don't make me root for a team with a Morris on it. Sign literally anyone else. Bring back Biyombo. Bring back Chuck Hayes

Re: Free Agency Thread **NOW OPEN** PART 2
The only reason I want Gasol to stay, is so all the people who choose to ignore the fact we just signed FVV won't have something to whine about incessantly. That alone will make this deal worth it.
Incredible that so many of them have direct access to the inner workings of our management team. They're 100% that Masai fielded offers to every available free agent, but they chose not to join us because "no one signs here", ignoring the fact that both Serge and Gasol signed here in the past, and we litereally just re-signed one of the most coveted free agents on the market.
I mean, jesus christ, it's just a staggering commitment to being miserable.

Down for one season of Baynes over Kieff. He's always played well as a starter.
