WOJ BOMB: Bucks to sign Pau Gasol

I love Pau Gasol, but WTF? Depth at 4/5 wasn't an issue.
I would like to see some jumbo lineups, but I think DJ would need to be on it to guard quicker players.

Takes over the point statue role we haven’t had since Zaza

Amazing development.

Probably doesn’t play many regular season minutes.

Great bench big for the playoffs, super smart, if a little rest gives his knees some juice he becomes a super valuable option for Bud off the bench. Can hit the three. Will look great in this offense.

Think he'll be a vet towel waver and maybe play some after our seed is locked up.

Great pickup. Championship experience. Great teammate and mentor for the younger guys. Still has a little in the tank. Our bench continues to get deeper.

Brogdon the secret genius child who isolates himself.

Bledsoe is the older brother who isn't afraid to throw some hands to protect his younger siblings.

had that same thought, brother or cousin. Khris the awkward middle child.

He's a HOF'er, even if washed up. He deserves a thread.

And the story here isn't Pau as much as it is the Bucks are now odds on title favorites with the Warriors.

Going to be fun watching Pau get in his brothers head against the Raptors. Of course this means RoLo needs to get released so he can go to the Warriors to get in Brook's head.

How cool is it that a guy who's accomplished all he has wants to come to Milwaukee and win a championship? This is awesome.

Pretty cool for a backup C. Super quick announcement after the Spurs cut him lol. Nice job

Wilson the princess whose capability gets underestimated, a la Claire Standish in the Breakfast Club. Can't think of an Ally Sheed analog. DDV the little brother that everyone loves.

I could see the press from this signing in the future being a major benefit here. We go on a deep run and Pau is going to be giving tons of interviews of how amazing the culture and facilities are in Milwaukee.

It's shocking. Never would I have thought I would have seen the day.

Wow, Pau is a great addition, another center who can shoot and defend. Woke up to great news of Bledsoe's extension and Pau's signing, this morning has been excellent.

I've been wanting them to sign someone with legit size who could be useful against a guy like Embiid in the playoffs. After Lopez, the Bucks are small at the 5 spot. In terms of the normal rotation, I don't see him getting minutes when a guy like Mirotic needs to get even more minutes than he's getting now, and Ersan has gotten the mask off and has come out of his slump.

Pau can be a good locker room and bench presence who is only there to get minutes in very limited circumstances. At least in my opinion, he's exactly the kind of guy they were missing from the end of the roster.

I guess backup center was a bit sketch if we faced a true center. This helps. He also fits the system.

Must be confident Hill and Divo will return soon. If so we're more than fine at pg. Otherwise it could become a problem.
