The Gasol looks amazing and totally OP, but what's the point of putting him in place of players that I really enjoy using and love/loved in real life? Sometimes I've gotta remind myself to take my own advice haha. At this point everyone can make a pretty great team on a budget, so just play the players you love!

I was thinking about this too and I decided to embrace the big man. Death to the traditional wing.

2nd lineup of magic - pg13 - porzingis - davis - gasol!

Dikembe still has his place as a defensive specialist, with his HoF Def Stopper and Rim Protector and Chase Down. Also his much better Vertical and higher Block.

But I think it's hard to imagine that DI Gasol wouldn't produce more for you, overall. Obviously, he has the elite shooting and elite Post Control and Post Fade. He also has elite passing for a big, elite Draw Foul and Free Throw.

And even just on D, he's +14 on Strength, and +12 Steal. For perimeter D, he's +5 Lat Quickness, and +6 Acceleration. He might be as good a defender, overall. And he's massively better, offensively.

Finally: if this is for your starting slot, Dikembe only has 85 Stamina. Gasol has 97.
