Isn't this source James Ham? This is the same intrepid reporter saying we were considering Porter Jr 24-48 hours before the draft when it was obvious who were taking. He has no special sources and can be easily thrown off the scent. Of course we want Gasol, it is a matter of simple deduction, his game is Vlade-esque and look at our coach, but we are not going to overpay for a 34 year old due 25M next season. I have heard fans say Gasol would hurt our running game. I think he would help it as a more stable interior presence to trigger more fast breaks. Willie usually is not a component of our fast breaks. He can be 1 out of 5 times but usually he is trailing the play. He is predominantly a lob threat who would be replaced by Bagley as the new starter, with Bjelica being moved to reserve role aside Harry Giles.
I hope we get Lin and Gasol by Thursday and send out Goose Egg, Koufos, Willie, Z-Bo, and Ben. I am putting the energy out into the Universe to make it so .
. I would be happier if we got Otto sending out the same players but I think Lin and Gasol are the more reasonable targets.
