are they even entertaining that tread or just throwing it out there...my homie and i talked about that once love said he was frustrated love for gasol makes sense cuz minny been tryna get gasol to pair with rubio
I don't care if Gasol and Rubio are secretly fukking. There's not a single shred of logic that has Pau Gasol as a T'wolf making any reasonable sense. There's really nothing to worry about.

Always liked Brewer. However, something has to fukkin give. If we sign Brewer, that's 3 SG's alone this offseason and still looking at Lee and Mayo.
They'll flip Martin for some depth. He's an expiring contract.

Didnt realize the Gilbert Arenas rule is why Houston can make an offer like that to Lin.
Houston's offer sheet for Lin, who has started 25 career games, would pay him $5 million next season, $5.225 million in 2013-14 and $14.9 million in '13-14. Under the Gilbert Arenas rule adopted in the 2005 collective bargaining agreement, that is how Lin will be paid whether he's in Houston or New York. But the rule calls for the Rockets' cap hit to be the yearly average of the deal, approximately $8 million annually. If the Knicks matched, Lin would count against the cap the amount that he actually is paid each year.
The rule was intended to prevent teams that didn't have cap room from losing restricted free agents to teams that did, the way the Warriors lost Arenas to the Wizards in 2003. But now, with more punitive luxury tax provisions coming into play with the start of the '13-'14 season, the back-loaded nature of Lin's offer sheet evidently is making even the endless-revenue Knicks pause.

I didn't know the Lin would cost, as far as the cap is concerned, $8 throughout the deal. It doesn't sound as bad but they are still overpaying for Lin and they still should of gave this money to Dragic.
