Marc Gasol thinks brother Pau should go to San Antonio
Pau Gasol appears headed for free agency, and his brother Marc knows exactly where he should go.
With the older Gasol later in his career, Marc had a suggestion: hope the San Antonio Spurs come calling.
Marc Gasol: "My advice to Pau, at his age with the things he cares about, not that (we've talked); my advice would be to go to San Antonio."

Marc Gasol, on why Pau should sign w/ SA: "The way (the Spurs) manage everything, they way they work as a franchise from top to bottom…"

Remarkable to me that Marc advised Pau to sign with San Antonio. He was not joking. Never seen a player advise another to sign with a rival.

It shows you the high regard the Spurs organization is held in throughout basketball. It actually does make sense, particularly if Tim Duncan calls it a career. Gasol could probably slot in pretty effortlessly and have a shot at another championship.
Pau Gasol has spent the two previous seasons with Chicago, and it seems increasingly likely that he’ll be headed for greener pastures once free agency opens.
