I would think that he'd want more money than we'd give him. He'd be playing behind Gibson anyway since supposedly Gibson's guaranteed the starting spot next year right?

Yep, Pau would essentially be backup PF/C.

To me it would be a great fit. There are 96 minutes a game at the 4 and 5. Noah, Gibson and Gasol 32 minutes each. When Noah's foot acts up they wouldn't take a big hit if he sat out a few games, the same for the other 2. It's the same principle as having Hinrich to play both guard spots, he could start at either to give others time to heal. It's why Butler is good to have around, can play the 2 but strong enough to be a 3 and defend both.

My guess is if we end up with gasol, we'll view it as a failed off season

The Bulls might set a record for most stretch 4's on a single NBA team.

Once Gibson gets traded, we're going to need a PF. Bulls should sign him.

Watch. Once Melo spurns the Bulls, Bulls FO will offer Pau Gasol a max deal for 4 years.

Chris Bosh or Chandler Parsons need to be plan B...not Pau Gasol.

Or they could have just drafted a PF and back-up PG. They would have been fine regardless of the outcome.

Gasoft would still be an upgrade over Nazr. That's the way I see it. Unfortunately, Pau's market value is nowhere near where [I think] Gasol expects it to be.

Table scraps is all the Bulls ever get since the Jordan era. Rose being the lone exception... and yeah, 50 games in 3 years. Nuff said.
