Gasol and Aldridge are terrible defensively. And as unathletic as it gets. Spurs so bad last year that Bill Simmons now says that Steven Adams is the top center in the NBA because of how good he looked and how bad he made the Spurs frontcourt look. Think about that.

Aren't you all big on those advanced stats? Gasol was top 10 for centers last year in defensive +/-.

Who has a better front court in the west than the Spurs?

That more than anything is why i believe the trade rumors. NOt because LMA is unhappy

Gasol and LMA are essentially the same player on defense, but gasol rebounds much better


Duncan was able to cover up LMA's liabilities when he was there but without him there if you can get the ball down load it's pretty much auto 2.


There was a game last year against philly where Oakfur flat out was abusing LMA in the first half and kept them in the game. Oakfur not Cousins or Howard or Lebron or Jordan or Dirk, a rookie. Then they started doubling him in the 2nd half and shut him down but still.


you cant put them in the same line up at the same time against playoff teams with low post depth and win. at least i dont' think so.


Gasol is going to get rebounds and going to score and do so more efficiently than LMA who relies on that J too much to be a power forward. If the sizers didn't have 76 centers on their team a trade for Noel would be perfect
