While the eyes of the NBA world are on Los Angeles, monitoring the courtship of LaMarcus Aldridge, what if the real deal was going on halfway across the planet?
So, an odd thought occurred to me a couple of hours ago.
If they just went out and signed Marc Gasol on the Fourth of July while the entire basketball media is taking the day off. How perfect would that be? All these public meetings with Lamarcus Aldridge in Los Angeles (including a second one on Friday) and all the while maybe they're using burn phones for long distance calls to Spain, with absolutely no one on their trail.
