Pau Gasol and the San Antonio Spurs are reportedly finalizing a deal that would bring him to the contender
On Monday, everyone finally found out where Kevin Durant will be headed, as he announced he’d be joining the Golden State Warriors. From that point, though, we knew that all of the dominoes would begin to fall, and one of the biggest dominoes is free agent forward Pau Gasol.
Well, it really didn’t take all that long for the veteran All-Star to find a new home, as it’s reported that he’d finalizing a deal to join none other than the San Antonio Spurs.
Gasol to the Spurs is something that’s been talked about for the past few days, but once the Durant news was made public on Monday, it became more evident that the Spurs were going to do whatever it takes to made sure they get Gasol on the roster.
Of course, this news is also vital because it was also reported on Monday that maybe the greatest power forward of all-time, Tim Duncan, is leaning toward retirement and not returning to chase another title. So, it pretty much goes without saying that the Spurs need the help down low, a place where they thrive, especially with the recent addition of LaMarcus Aldridge prior to last season.
The Spurs needed the help, and they’ve apparently got it in the form of Pau Gasol.
