Pau to Knicks?
Phil Jackson reportedly reached out to unrestricted free agent Pau Gasol via
phone to make his pitch for the big man to join the Knicks.
It's worth noting that Gasol made $19 million last season, and the Knicks
currently can only offer him $3.3 million, so he would need to take a
substantial pay cut to sign in New York. However, if the Knicks make some
salary shedding moves, they could potentially offer the non-taxpayer mid-level
exception at $5 million per season. Gasol has stated that he'd be willing to
take a pay cut to join a contender, and he does have a good relationship with
Jackson. The Thunder, Warriors, Mavericks, Heat, and Bulls have also expressed
interest in acquiring Gasol's services.
尼克新任总裁 Phil Jackson 被报导近期透过了电话，接触了非受限自由球员 Pau Gasol
进行推销拉拢，说服这位长人加入尼克。值得一提的是去年 Gasol 从湖人手中赚了19M，
而尼克就目前的空间只能提供她 3.3M 的报价，如此一来若 Gasol 想投尼克，铁定得接受
实质的减薪。然而如果尼克可以再清掉一点薪资，他们可能出的到中产等级5M/年的报价。
Gasol已经说过她愿意接受降薪，加入一个有能力挑战总冠军的球队，而她跟 Phil 的关系
也非常的不错。目前 雷霆、勇士、小牛、热火和公牛都希望可以延揽 Gasol。
