Pau Gasol.
What can you say about the giant that leads this sad group of Grizzlies right now. Well, unlike most of the fans in Memphis, I am not ready to kick him out the door. You may not want to believe it, but Gasol is this franchise right now. The main reason the Grizz are in the cellar of the NBA is because of his summer injury. The is no doubt in my mind we would hav ewon more games had Pau been in the lineup in the first part of the season.
He just wants to win, and I can't blame him for that. I truly think this whole trade thing has been blown out of proportion. The trade deadline will come and go and Pau will still be a Grizzly. Partly because the Grizzlies want to keep him and partly because no one wants to trade with Jerry West. He is so good at the trade game that everyone feels like they are coming out on the losing end of any trade.
So I think Pau will live out his contract in Memphis, and we will begin to grow a great team over the next three years. We have salary cap room and will have a lottery pick this year. If things don't get better with a Pau, a lottery pick and a ton of salary cap room, then lets talk about shipping Pau out of town.
