Pau Gasol’s Winning Reputation a Boon to Blazers

The Trail Blazers appeared to make their final signing of the 2019 offseason when veteran big man Pau Gasol agreed to place his signature on a one-year deal. The 39-year-old center is firmly in the twilight of his career, but his title-winning experience is a bit of a rarity for the Blazers.

Forbes contributor Mike Tokito highlighted how Gasol is set to become the first title-winning player to earn minutes for the Blazers since Dorrell Wright.

At times when the Blazers need an emotional lift, Gasol could simply bring in one of his championship rings as a way to inspire his teammates.
