I don't expect Gasol or JV to make massive game changing contribution in their first game. I like Gasol, i just didn't like the trade longterm.

It's a good trade if Nurse makes use of him the RI ght way. If he continues to play t he same style of basketball but you're essentially just replacing gasol with jv in the lineup it doesn't move the needle. Make gasol t he hub of the bench unit, get some shorting and have them play off him and I like it. It makes use of Gasols passing skills. If they start him irt makes no sense and if they continue to let fvv pound the rock with t he bench this is a useless trade. Gasol isn't a good roll man nor is he an elite rebounder anymore.

They are really terrible. All in on the tank right now.

It seems like as the season has gone on, Nurse has moved further away from playing the bench together, so I don't think FVV will be "the guy" out there as much during the stretch and playoffs. I expect that Nurse will have at least 1 of Lowry/Kawhi/Gasol/Siakam out there usually.

We're so lucky that he wasn't in the Kawhi trade.

Nurse has an unhealthy obsession with fvv. If gasol won't make him change his ways nothing will. FVV should not be play NG next to Lowry consistently. It really didnt make sense to start him either. But nurse doesn care about making sense.

If we can't why did we trade for him?

Hero · Post #292 » by **Hero** » Sun Feb 10, 2019 12:35 am

Of course he will. He will likely close most games unless Ibaka is on fire.

I am just asking because there were games when we couldn't play JV in the 4th quarter .

Fred can't be allowed to dribble. If were passing the ball inside and Gasol is kicking it out, Fred can succeed being a shot up shooter. He shouldn't do anything more than that.

Who's hoping we lose more ? Bucks fans, sixers fans, celtics fans ? Skip bayless, the truth, Or JV and demar pubic hair smokers ?

If Gasol won't play in 4Q, Nurse is **** dumb.

We're 18-4 when Fred starts and these are games that are mostly without Kawhi Leonard. So you are objectively wrong and I hope you reconsider your opinion based on this fact.

wow
