Memphis need good center the next year, and Marc is ideal guy, he is strong and big, he is very good player, good IQ, in defense is better than Pau (hehehe), in offense he can improve but he is young and he will it.Alberto Mora Sánchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361483650975468707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-23627016129416391822008-05-28T14:43:00.000-05:002008-05-28T14:43:00.000-05:00Its not that he doesn't want to play for memphis. ...Its not that he doesn't want to play for memphis. I think that the euro teams are going to be offering a lot of money and I don't know if Heisley will open the checkbook for a player who has only had one good year. Not to mention that his brother was the wiping boy of the city. It comes down to what kind of expectations we have for Mark. I know that last year most people thought Darko was going to break out this year, and now I even see where some " experts" have mentioned us off loading him this offseason. I think Gasol would be a nice signing but am only looking for him to contribute not be the next coming of Tim Duncan. Plus I think that alot of it will depend on what happens with JCN. He took a lot less money last year b/c he thought it would payoff this offseason. We may not have to resign him, but if the market is not kind to him, Mark may stay in Europe and count his $$$!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-28576822625733254852008-05-28T14:15:00.000-05:002008-05-28T14:15:00.000-05:00Reportedly, we offered Mike Miller to the Blazers ...Reportedly, we offered Mike Miller to the Blazers for the Number 13 pick and Travis Outlaw, which they obviously declined. We should throw in Kyle Lowry or Javaris Crittenton to make this deal happen because then we could draft Mayo, Gordon, or Bayless with the 5th, draft Darell Arthur with the 13th, and get someone like CDR or Bill Walker, or maybe even Joey Dorsey (basically get the best talent available instead of drafting for need). Or we could draft that Anjica kid from France who supposedly has tons of upside. Also, does Marc Gasol just not want to play for the Griz or something? Because if that is so than why don't we trade his rights for another lottery pick if he is supposed to be so good. Then we could draft a center with that pick (hopefully DeAndre Jordan because he could be the next Andrew Bynum) and it will even it out or maybe even get us the better player. Those are just my thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-3648631232684831512008-05-28T11:28:00.000-05:002008-05-28T11:28:00.000-05:00a bit off topic, but i would love to have cdr, per...a bit off topic, but i would love to have cdr, personally. i think he's going to be a really good player in the pros- he slashes with the best of them in my opinion. definitely biased- no doubt about that- but i think if he slips to 28 we should snag him. any thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
