The San Antonio Spurs have signed Pau Gasol,
beefing up a front line that will be without Tim Duncan next season
for the first time in 19 years.
The 7-foot Gasol has won two NBA titles and is a six-time All-Star.
Gasol is one of six players in NBA history to reach 19,000 points,
10,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists and 1,500 blocks along with Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett and
Duncan, who retired earlier this week.
The contracit is a two-year deal worth more than $30 million.
The 36-year-old Gasol has been one of the league's most talented
and versatile big men for the last 15 years. He spent the last two
seasons in Chicago and averaged 16.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.1
assists this year.
