Some are surprised the Raptors want to sign Pau Gasol. But there is a case to be made here.
Pau Gasol is a free agent this summer, and is reportedly getting offers in the range of $18 million per year (mostly on two year deals from the rumours). And he reportedly has the Raptors on his short list.
The Raptors should definitely go after him. Here is a quick summary of my reasoning.
To do so, they will need to clear cap room of course. That means, in my proposed solution, trading Terrence Ross (and his $10 million salary) and Lucas Nogueira (and his $2 million salary) for a future pick or some other non-salary return, to clear $16.
