Pau Gasol stated the obvious about KG who had no comment about Pau's comment:
Then he said this: “On Kevin’s part, he’s also lost some
explosiveness. He’s more of a jump shooter now.” Gasol went on to say
how Garnett is still a “terrific player, a terrific competitor, and he’s

responded, “I have no comment for his comments.”
Pressed further, Garnett said, “I’m not getting caught up in what
Pau’s talking about. I’m not going to play these games. I’m going to
stick to my guns, continue to make the proper adjustments and move on.
I’m not into this bull [expletive] that’s going on, you know what I

remaining on his contract, has acknowledged the rumors but insists he
will not make any decisions about next season until this season is

“[If Rivers leaves] then we’ll put the search out and put Tom at the

consider and interview but we would also look at all the viable
candidates and take our time if [Rivers walked away]. But I don’t
anticipate that happening.”
