I would have taken Forbes. Can we still get Belinelli? Think he’s still available.

I'm not sure how I feel about adding Gasol, on one hand I fantasize about Curry coming off screens set by him but he also looked not so great in the playoff bubble. On the other hand we just need more wings...any wings would do.

Lets just try to look past this season. Look, we can't sign quality players due to our cap space / luxury tax zone and sign players we "think" will play a significant role. That doesn't sound too confident, at least to me. And we all know realistically we aren't getting far without a healthy Klay. Time to build for the future and let Paschall, Poole, Wiggins and Wiseman go ham for this season (yet, again), and Curry set nba regular season records.

Agree, I think the Gasol hype is unwarranted. Besides, between the Raptors and the Lakers I doubt we'd have much chance. Have to turn over the trash cans and scrounge for a wing or two. I would pick up Batum on the cheap if possible.

can we even use the DPE right now? If not, there's zero chance we're getting Gasol. Our MLE is only 5.7 mill.

No, it isn't even approved yet. Can't spend it when we don't know for sure that we'll even get it. And part of the MLE is presumably gone for Wannamaker.

I think we need to look at Gasol differently.
If he comes to the Warriors, he’s not going to be playing 30-35 minutes/night...... more like 15 surgically-timed minutes, when the other team has a big center on the court needing defense (or at least when he won’t be terribly exposed), or on some key offensive possessions. The majority of the minutes will be going to Wiseman, Chriss, and Looney (who I expect would be traded if Gasol comes). And obviously a little bit of Draymond.
He’d be coming for his wisdom, leadership, etc.... To help with veteran stability and leadership, and teaching our young big guys. Most of his stretches on the court would be 6 minutes at a time or less, when he could go all out.
I’d be excited to get him (if it happens) - not because I’m expecting the Marc Gasol of 5 years ago, but because we’re getting a guy who has phenomenal basketball knowledge and leadership that can be applied for 15 minutes/night on the court, and 1440 minutes/day on and off the court.
If I don't have anything funny to say, can I still have a signature?

At least Baze is friends with Steph. Need Curry to be happy with only 2 years left on his deal. At least that’s how I’m going to sell myself on this move

With these WTF signings and the available free agents we think would take what's left of the TPE, MLE, and DPE, this season is lost already.

If you're gonna be on the losing end this season, might as well lose with a friend.
