Because guys like that don't fall off trees. There is no reason not to wait until the offseason. Pau's value won't be any worse.

Pau has shown he has not declined that much.

The fact that he doesn't get that many rebounds this game is because they constantly asked him to come out and defend the parameter. He was seldom in position for the rebounds.

It's all coaching. Fire Pringles now and have one of the assistants finish the season.
 
Raptors finally hold on a for win!!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

How do you construct a $100 Million Dollar roster with NO BENCH and is struggling to make the playoffs ?
 
Lakers are six games under .500 and should probably be underdogs in their next five games before starting a seven game roadtrip.

Jazz playoff hopes looking OK right now.

It is coaching, I thought bringing in Pringles was a mistake not because he's a terrible coach, but because they should have given him a full offseason to introduce his system and give the FO the ability to give him a roster. They should have just stuck with Bernie as interim, I told you guys this. Pau and Dwight will never be a good duo, even with all the coaching in the world. Even under Phil, Pau was at his best at C playing next to Odom.

Struggling? To reach 48 wins (avg win total of 8th seeds in the West the last 5 years), they have to go 31-11. At this rate they'd be lucky to play spoiler.

Well at least they'll get a good draft pick outta it...

:D

Pringles coaching sucks for the roster the Lakers have, but don't fool yourself to thinking he is the source of Pau's rapid decline. Pau has been gradually getting worse since Phils last year. I like Pau, but it's time to face the reality that he is a shell of his former self.

Earl Clark +14. Everyone else negative since we started down 19-4. Maybe he needs to start?
He wont though, because Pau Gasol is an asshole. Pau has always talked that "team" bullshit for years, but when it came time for him to sacrifice for the betterment of the team he said very plainly: fuck that noise. He's a god damn hypocrite and an overly emotional big ass baby.

And just look at our schedule for the next 5 games...jesus christ, this team is straight fucked, and we aren't even willing to give good players a fucking chance??? Why? Because it might hurt the feelings of a player who's making millions and isn't worth the paycheck?

He can still be good and effective when he's playing more comfortable at C (see the olympics this past summer). This is why we don't need to panic to trade him though. There isn't a trade to be made right now that will turn this season around, and there's not sense in adding more money and potentially bad contracts, and Pau's value isn't going to be any lower this offseason. He's a skilled 7 footer on an expiring contract. Teams will still want him then as much as they might want him now.
