I'd pass. When was the last time Gasol has been healthy?

Edit: If Gasol is healthy, I have a hard time believing they will be 10th in the West.

Both healthy, I still don't see them competing. That conference is too deep.

On the health, he missed 8 games last year and 1 game the year before. I wouldn't say he has had recent health issues.

First thing that comes up on a Marc Gasol google search is "Grizzlies will sit Marc Gasol for preseason opener as ankle rehab continues" lol.

Come on now. LeBron is sitting cause of "heel" problems or something. If he starts missing chunks of regular season games I'll revise my thoughts on his heath.

I'd like to clarify I wasn't using that headline to support my argument. I just thought it was funny that was the first thing that popped up. If both are playing like they are capable of by the trade deadline, that would be a trade I would consider.

I have a hard time seeing Memphis part away with those two for one pick though. Also, how would salaries match up?

Not sure, I haven't actually thought about it too much. Just popped into my head as I see Memphis struggling this year and maybe are looking at a rebuild. If that's the case, not sure you want a 33 year old Gasol taking up so much salary. Conley being younger is a bit less likely, but I don't rule anything out in NBA these days. If they are struggling to get just for the right to get swept by GSW this year (and likely next...) why not try and start over??

Yeah. He's like that bitter ex-girlfriend that broke up with you and then realizes she screwed up.

I don't think the Cavaliers will have a problem with season winning it all. Its their destiny

Bummer, but LMFAO at us paying $3M for the draft spot to draft Felder.

Has there ever been a shot shump took where you were like... "that's going in"?

Even the shots he makes look like misses coming off his hand.
