I ain't trying to defend Pau Gasol, but....

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

To be honest............no


Who would watch the Chicago Bulls with no Derrick Rose playing?!

Naw, I ain't just talking about this season. I'm talking bout his entire time in Chicago. Pippen, the coach and team mates have called out Boozer on the regular, shyt even Gibbs called him out -

Yeah I don't f*ck with Boozer man. I rather trade that n*gga for the 90th-round draft pick and for four D-League n*ggas. He's supposed to be like Karl Malone man. But he's nowhere near man. He's the softest n*gga in the league. We need someone like LaMarcus Aldridge," Freddie Gibbs said in an interview. "We need somebody to compliment Derrick Rose, man.

lol at the Freddie Gibbs quote. I had to look twice, because I thought you said Pippen had called him out and had posted Pippen's quote. I was reading like, "I know Pippen aint cussin like this...he really dont give a fukk now that's he's retired"

empty spot at PF > fakkit ass Pau

i swear on my mama i never hated any player as much as I hated this fukking fakkit. Kwame was pure TRASH, the worst player I've ever seen play but you can't tell me he didn't give effort.

Pau's not a PF, that's the problem brehs. He's a skilled backup center, the sooner this gee wiz lookin mafukka realizes this the better. How in the fukk are you gonna run a more uptempo offense with a soft, slow footed, often lethargic, 5 at the 4 spot. Either Jamison or Hill need to take over that spot, pau off the bench helps the team more imo. He gets to work in the post exclusively and is more of a focal point around the mostly bum ass bench. Unless a great opportunity comes around like Paul Milsap, then there's no reason to trade him for scraps.

If Kenyon comes down on his numbers we could scoop him up to add overall PF depth. At center we'll have Dwight/Gasol/Sacre which is a decent enough rotation. Real shyt tho, something like this plus a reliable scorer off the bench would be a good fukkin look.

Pau just doesn't have an identity on the team and hasn't had one for a while. He's still got the ability (even though the knee tendinitis is playing its part) - the Olympics were evidence of this. He was arguably the best big man in London. And one of the top players overall too.

Gasol = at center. Howard = at power foward. Doesn't have to be set (obviously on PNPs and outside PNRs) and they can both interchange between the 4/5, all dependent on the game. Gasol can play anchor on defense and Dwight can just patrol everywhere from the paint to the perimeter. Pau will have more energy reserved for contesting in the paint (as opposed to chasing PF's all around the court and hedging guards on the perimeter) and more energy on the offensive end. Let's face it - he's gonna need as much energy as possible playing in an up-tempo system + dealing with knee tendinitis.

This is why he needs to play at the 5, even when Howard is on the court. Although

lol, I was gonna edit my post to add that then considered Dwight at the 4...
