He wants 10-12 million per year. Story over.

The cost for Gasol could still be prohibitive for the Heat, but there’s little doubt he could be an intriguing part to a supporting cast in Miami. So far, Gasol is still pushing for a $10 million-$12 million annual salary, league sources said.
The NBA champion San Antonio Spurs have inquired with Gasol’s agent Arn Tellem, expressing an interest, sources said, but the Spurs can’t become a legitimate suitor unless Gasol significantly drops his asking price.
Gasol met with Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and ultimately they could become his best chance to get his asking price, if only on a one-year contract.

That would be beyond awesome if we got him. He would let Duncan rest for the entire season
Gasol stays in L.A. IMHO.
This~~~~
No way can Spurs afford this dude.
Pau is 32,33 years old right?
No way he is taking MLE.
He is 34
If he wants the MLE and vastly reduced playing time and a deeply supporting role, then sure, but in no universe is that happening.
I bet he ends up in Chicago. I wonder if Houston is interested, given how awful the pairing between he and Howard was in 2013.
I'm sure the Spurs just said if he doesn't get a big payday, they'll have the full MLE laying around.
yep, dumb-asses will get rid of boozer, only to take on a tier contract
Yeah, just tell him if nothing else develops the Spurs have the MLE stashed somewhere in the office, just give them a few minutes to find it.
Would fit perfectly here. Too bad we don't have the money.
Who knows he may not get that $10mil elsewhere and just may take what we got, since this is probably the best chance he has to winning another le.
Gasol for $12 million is way better than Boozer for $17 million.
Miami bound.
He'll get it in Chicago. They can't open up enough capspace to land Carmelo, so they'll go with Plan B.
Or he'll take the MLE from Miami and ST will explode.
The MLE may be around 6M and the Spurs could offer an extra year, to offset some difference and he could save a lot in taxes. The Spurs wont dismantle the championship roster in a S&T. IE, 3 years at 10M in LA vs 4 years at 6M in SA shouldn't be so different. Still, fact is the Spurs seldom attract the best FA's. Hope it turns out to be different this time.
Why? both are equally incapable of taking their team to the promised land, so why waste the money?Gasol for $12 million is way better than Boozer for $17 million.
There is no state income tax in Texas too. Florida the same if I'm not mistaken.
Gasol > Boozer
$12 million < $17 million
It's honestly not that hard to see.
It would be shocking
The Spurs are doing due diligence, they need to let him know, if you want to come here, we want you. Odds are stacked waaaaaay against the Spurs but that is the responsible thing to do. He likely will land with whoever doesn't get Carmelo or back to LA.
