Marc Gasol to Houston? (with poll!)

Deal reported to be 4 years $55 Million. While Max for a player of his service level, it’s not a Rudy Gay or Joe Johnson contract. I would probably take him on the Wolves for that money.

Hence, the reason they’re shopping Mayo today.

1. Michael Redd as a vet minimum contract.
2. Krylo Fesenko for $1-2M per

Both bench guys and I expect to be mocked. But I’d go for Redd to replace Ellington (faint praise, I know) in the 10 mpg SG role. And Fesenko is statistically the 2nd-best defensive player in the NBA last year. 82games says The Jazz allowed 10 ppg less with him on the floor last year. He’s awful offensively, but give me a stud defensive center to rotate in for 10 mpg on this team for sure… Especially if you start Love at center for 35 or so mpg.

but I want the Grizz to stick together. Get rid of Mayo, fine. (And I know they have to make finance-related decisions). That said, I’m not sure how I feel w/r/t the poll question.

for the Gasol brothers?

But I definitely don’t want us to sign one. Our best lineup involves Love at Center. That puts MicRick Beas-liams at the 4 and Wes at the 3, where they belong. If we could find a good, slashing 2 to go with that, we’d be in good shape.

And Love’s defense would be best served by playing man down low on other centers.

I hope all this time in the middle doesn’t have Kevin singing “There’s California bloodlines in my heart, there’s a California heartbeat in my soul.” (Dave Alvin) Did he lose 20 pounds because he was figuring on playing more center?

I’m always up all night, and coupled with being the world’s slowest typist (I lost to a blind hotshot in a wheel chair who had to hold a stick between his lips,) I think I might shoot for the very last posting on every shot/post.
