Since it's going to take more than 1 player to get this team back to a level where it can win on a nightly basis, do you believe we are better using that cap space on someone else and keeping our picks/young players??
I would send some players away for Amare, but not Gasol. I've watched Gasol since he came to Memphis. He lacks toughness and doesnt play with passion. He is like the big man version of Vince Carter. He wont come through during the end of games, and he is starting drift further and further away from the low post. He has a nice 15 foot jumper, but games can get real ugly when they arent falling. He tries to avoid contact, and doesnt hustle. If we want an up tempo team, and Gasol is wanted out of M-town cuz he doesnt like playing up tempo there, why would it work in Philly?
