@WojYahooNBA: Houston’s close to signing Marc Gasol to max-contract offer sheet, working a sign-and-trade with Memphis to secure him, league sources say.
Wow. Talk about a contingency plan!
UPDATE:
@WojYahooNBA: Memphis is probably inclined to match the sheet, but if not, they can work a sign-and-trade with Rockets to get something for Gasol.
UPDATE: I’d be shocked if Memphis doesn’t match this offer.
UPDATE:
@Jonathan_Feigen: Rockets pursuit of MGasol still a longshot. Memphis likely to match, unlikely to do sign-and-trade. It’s a Hail Mary after trade collapsed.
This makes a lot more sense. I don’t see how Memphis would let this guy walk, unless he clearly indicated he wanted out. I would think they would amnesty Rudy Gay before sacrificing Gasol.
