I don’t think Mr. triple single would have made a difference.

That's an excellent choice.

If the Lakers did a buy-out on Marc Gasol, I guess it would never be to come to the Suns.

Of course the Lakers owe us for Tyson Chandler and Steve Nash.

Do the Lakers think that way? I doubt it.

By Dave McMenamin ESPN Staff Writer:


Gasol, speaking after the Lakers' 115-94 win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday, said he was unsure how often his number will be called with Drummond in the fold.

"I think there's an 'if' -- 'if' they need you. And it's a big 'if,'" Gasol said when asked about Lakers coach Frank Vogel repeatedly stating Gasol's continued importance. "You're not Plan A right now. You're Plan C, D. ... You have to accept it because that's your job. And that's what you sign up to do. It's never easy to accept that."

The arrival of Andre Drummond will change things for Marc Gasol.

Frank Gasol. Is he the third brother? Makes sense that he could come to the Suns then.

the Lakers aren’t doing anyone any favors and letting Gasol go, especially with AD injuries making him even remotely questionable.

I don't think so either. Only thinking back when the Suns waived Tyson Chandler so he could go to the Lakers.

Players should realize how disposable they are there.

Marc Gasol signed a two year contract with the Lakers so he should have known what he was doing.

If only those standings would play out like that. I would have ZERO problems matching up with Dallas in the first round.

Jrue Holiday agrees to maximum contract extension with Bucks for four years, worth up to $160 million.

That is a LOT of money!! Is he really worth that?

 

[Mainstreet]

Bucks have now locked in their three stars long term: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday.

It's a good question. Seems a bit high for the 30 year old.

They'd probably be my pick too since we've fared so well against them since Doncic arrived but they aren't the same team we faced earlier this season. We beat them in 2 close games to drop them to 8-13 but they've gone 19-8 since then and just finished with 4 straight wins on the road. If Luka and KP continue playing well they will be a tough postseason opponent.

yeah, I’d much rather face the Spurs or Grizz than the Mavs, where Doncic will probably get EVERY call in the playoffs.

Bulls look to be a much improved team with the addition of Vucevic. They beat the Nets yesterday. I'm glad the Suns don't play them anymore.

 

[Covert Rain]

I agree. Although, if he is getting every call in the playoffs were are likely to face them anyway.

Nuggets are cooking with Aaron Gordon as they win 5th game in a row.
