One mistake made a lot in NBA analysis is what a new addition is replacing. Or who is filling the void on an injured player. For example, when Pau Gasol replaced Kwame Brown that was going from worst to best. If Kemba Walker is half right in New York he is replacing a bad crew – 12:55 PM

Pau Gasol: “I keep thinking about my future, I don’t see myself on any team other than Barça.” On retirement: “I keep thinking about whether to continue or not. It will not be an easy decision and when I know it I will let you know. I have been a professional for 23 years and I am considering all the factors to make a decision soon and be able to communicate it. I have not made a decision 100 percent. If I look back it has been many years enjoying very interesting things.” -via Marca.com / September 16, 2021
