Before They Produce

I think the Grizzlies should have called Marc Gasol's bluff. He never produced an offer sheet from another team. So we don't know what his options were.I don't think the other teams were going to pay him that much had he gone somewhere else. Marc Gasol is soft and lacks toughness. I think he spends too much time outside the paint. He has great potential but we're already paying someone to catch his slack. If Zbo falls flat for any reason, this deal will be a lemon. Marc Gasol is not a force in the middle yet. Maybe 50M for four years. But I was thinking more like five. I wonder what Tyson Chandler and NeNe are going to get?

It's ironic they would picture him with Kendrick Perkins. Who btw is only making half of what Gasol is getting. Since he finally got resigned by Oklahoma. Perkins is exactly the type player Gasol has problems with. When it gets physical underneath he goes outside. A big man with a soft touch is sweet. But we don't need a 7 foot shooting guard we need a beast. I think Perkins owned him in the playoffs. That's why the Grizzlies lost. Marc Gasol is a long shot like Josh Pastner and Justin Fuente. I wish all of them success. I'm just against giving them the money before they produce.
