Hawks offering Pau Gasol 11 million a year [Update: Signing with Chicago]

[DeacKillsaDevil]

With the contracts we've seen you're surprised we made Gasoline an offer at this level? Some of you are just impossible

[GameTime]

COME HOME PAU

 

The future free agency.

 

Nothing for us in 2015. I can't see Ferry offering more than a 2 year deal.

[Gianluca]

Fans should throw roses at Gasol's feet if he signed with us. All everyone does is moan and beeyatch that DF can't land a player or a player doesn't want to play in Atlanta. Then when one does either A. The player sucks in the fans eyes or B. He's overpaid. Put a competitive and entertaining team on the floor is all I ask for now and let Bud develop and implement his system.

19 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists bigs don't grow on trees.

Jordan Hill is making 9 million. FA is crazy this year.

 

Gasol gives us a legit post scorer for the first time since.... ever. He always fits our system to a tee. 

All of this is null and void since he fits the Spurs to a tee and they are champions.

 

If it is a 2 year deal i'm not mad.

 

 

So, because of FA is crazy, should we give some crazy contracts? No, in that case I would prefer that we don't move. If it's a one year contract I wouldn't be opposed.

Where did you get those stats?

I just Googled his name, and there are rumors about every big name team out there wanting him. I don't think we are going to be seriously considered by him.

11 mill for Pau is not crazy at all for a year or 2. He would make us legit contenders in the East (if we got a couple more shooters) for the next 2 years. If the Spurs get him they will be unstoppable. He fits our system to a tee. Much better than giving Monroe a maxed 4-5 year deal.

Averaged 20-11-4 per 36 last year. Played 32 minutes.

He is not a difference-maker anymore. Millsap and Horford are much better at this moment. We need a top wing, if not, let's offer him a one year deal like we did with Brand. If he wants more, just pass.

My bad. I was looking only at his per game stats. He's a lot better than I give him credit for, but why this late?

[Gianluca]

KD/RW have been after Gasol from day one. TParker has been recruiting him. Hawks fans be like Pau? We will pass and wait it out for that magical unicorn we've been chasing for years & years & continue to complain as we chase a ghost.

[RWF]

desperate move sounds like from Woj. "Late pitch"?

Get Lance!

[JTB]

Shit I like it!!....get em ferry!

[hazer]

Teague, Korver, Sap, Horf, Gasol is an ECFs team.

[Jody23]

Looks like the Hawks have been shut out.

I agree.

 

Will Ferry even attempt to go after Lance though?

[MrMeltdown]

great plan, desperation

[Goots]

Make an offer for Lance ferry u moron. Why are u offering Gasol who isn't a need and not lance who is a definite need at SF

[RWF]

"Late pitch" just screams, "Hey Ferry, the fans don't like our huge Sef signing and Salmons waive. We need to make a late pitch for a name! But who? Oh Gasol! Just make it seem like we are after someone to use as an excuse that we tried when he signs with the Spurs!".
