What's new

do we still need Marc Gasol?

Hell yes if we can get him. He will be a great fit to our offense and add shotblocking. I rank him a hair under Chris Kaman in that regards.

+2 for inadvertently mentioning Gasol, Kaman, and hair in the same sentence.
 
Of course we need him, but will be given the max next year and they can easily afford it. Gasol is not on the market.
 
I would give up anyone other than Dwill and AlJeff to get him, and prefer to keep AK.
Imagine a front court of AK, AJ, and Marc Gasol.
 
The Jazz would be insane if they wouldn't trade anyone but Deron for Marc Gasol. I'm not even sure I'd keep Jefferson if it meant getting Gasol.

Legit 7-foot, true centers with a complete game and no injury problems are almost IMPOSSIBLE to find.

AJ is a star. Gasol is a role player. Yes, he is big, but he is a role player, no more and no less. You don't trade a star for a role player, even if the role player is 2 inches taller.
 
Gasol is not a role player. He averaged 15, 9 and 2 his second season. Imagine him playing with Deron... He is a 7'1 center who likely will become a star. I would easily trade Millsap, Hayward and picks for him. AJ, that's a tough one, but I would maybe do it.
 
Why the hell wouldn't we trade everything outside of Deron and AJ for Gasol?

Millsap and AJ aren't enough to get us past the Lakers. In fact, I wonder if AJ and Millsap are even better than a healthy Memo and Boozer.

With Gasol and AJ, we might finally have a frontline to compete with the bigs of this conference.
 
Deron, Jefferson, and Gasol would be a terror to reckon with, regardless of whoever else is on the roster.

Make it happen, KOC.
