PAU GASOL IS ONE OF THE TOP PF

Post by grishnak boss »

Pau Gasol is the best-passing big man in the game.

Let the grand conductor—El Maestro—dictate the offense with his superb passing skills.

Give Pau the ball at the top of the key and run off-the-ball, weak-side screens, cuts and drives through the lane.

If this action creates an open man, I guarantee you Pau will find him.

The Spaniard grew up playing point guard when he was a teenager.

He's the definition of a point-center and knows how to make the right pass.

I agree.
Easily top 5, possibly top 3.
Although if a trade swings through that will benefit the Lakers by trading Gasol, I do it.

Gasol is a good PF. Top 3 for sure, I'd take Nowitski, Love, or Griffin over him if I was starting a team.

Griffin? Starting a team, but not a playoff team. Dude can't do anything outside of 15 feet. Gasol is decent, but he's still softer than baby shit. That's why you see McRoberts, Metta and Barnes doing all the dirty work this season.

Gasol is just as good as the three mentioned. IMO, Nowitski & Gasol are even. Whoever goes farther in the playoffs is the better player at that time. The only thing Love & Griffin have on Gasol is their youth. Griffin is flashy, but there are many other players I would pick to start a team before him. Love? Why he chose to resign with Minnesota is beyond me. Yeah, he's getting paid a shit load of money, but he would've got that signing with another team.

My reasoning might be off. But Pau was above average when he was in Memphis. Great player no doubt. However, Dirk carried Dallas over OKC and Miami to win it all. Kevin Love is nothing short of amazing, he now can hit 3's too, wow. I also say Love because I am a Wolves homer. Griffin almost averages the same as Love last I checked. Pau was not that dominating when with Memphis. No Bryant he would just be a taller Al Jefferson (who is actually a center, Millsap who is the PF but he is nothing to the caliber of Pau.)

No, I wouldnt.
No reason to trade for Marc because we have Bynum.

Pau is the best passing big man in the game.

The Mavs team revolves around Dirk.

When Pau was with Memphis he was on a shit team.
Much different than what they are now.

Love pulls down a shit load of boards for a guy that plays so far from the basket.
He's like the Liberace of bass & pot.

Cant stand Bill McDonald on the tv broadcasts. Like you, I feel like I'm listening to a play by play guy for a jc game.

I loved Joel Meyers. I read that Spero Dedes was going to replace Joel, but decided to take the NY gig & left the Lakers in a jam.

Ireland is best as a sidelines reporter, not a game caller.
