Every raps fan wants him back. The hardcore ones know how valuable he is and that his importance and impact go beyond the boxscore while the bandwagoners became huge fans during the parade.

Raps don’t win against Philly without him. Still an elite defender and passer.

Kawhi stays!!! Gasol said he would make his decision based on Kawhi staying or going!

Horrible are you nuts if they didn't acquire Marc Gasol there is no way they get to the finals.. He was instrumental as a defender against Philly and Milwaukee he had some bad games but also some really good games.. The guy is not worth 25 mill anymore but they will already be over the cap so doesn't matter if they sign Kawhi they will be a contender again..

How is 1 year at $25m equivalent to Love at 4 years $120m?

Kevin love is tradable at that rate not sure what you guys are on about.. Injuries are the only issue for K love he's still a star..

Gasol is an expiring after this upcoming season, as others have mentioned we don't beat Philly without him... Love's injury issues are major, the guy can't stay on the court for more then half the season.
