I'm not sure if Memphis fans will ever know whether or not you can build a contender around Pau Gasol, since the front office has either refused or failed miserably at improving the roster for going on six years in a row. Six years in Memphis, and our best center is Lorenzen Wright. Our most-reliable point guard...anyone's guess...Jason Williams, Damon Stoudamire, Earl Watson... Our second-best player over six seasons...Mike Miller.
I'm as disappointed with Gasol's mood and general attitude as anyone, but management has brought this on themselves and their customers, and they should just be happy that this meltdown hasn't happened sooner and that they were able to actually get some extended playoff exposure out of keeping this mediocre "core" of "players" in tact.
