So can someone sum up the "huge trade rumor?" It's Pau for some soccer player in Spain, then Bynum gets traded for the Hulk who is flipped for a 1st round pick in the NFL draft?
So final Lakers team:
Nash
Kobe
[Spanish soccer player]
[1st round NFL pick]
Hulk
Did I get this right?

The only way I can see the Lakers outright dumping Pau for relief is if financially a team absorbs both blake and MWP and possibly any other contract they half think stinks...
Now Paul, Blake, MWP... Yeah I could see that tempting Mitch and Buss. I mean that is huge money off the books and a trade exception that could net you essentially massive flexibility for trades for a year. One which I think they would use down the road... maybe even use with the Bulls.
But this specific rumor... I doubt it. But the idea... not completely far fetched. |

Also just saw on ESPN, Houston shopping Lowry for a top 10 pick....If we have lost out on either Lowry or Dragic because Pau is so "great" WoW...Gasol is killing this Laker team along with poor management...Gasol and Drew do not work will not work..overvalueing Gasol was/ is a huge mistake!

Having an interior defense of Dirk and Pau would be downright pathetic. lol Sure they would score a lot, but they would be scored on at will too. |
According to you. Pau is much more underestimated in LG than by experts. News flash he is a double double machine when used correctly; over paid? Sure but you get Deron, Pau & Dirk and that sounds pretty strong to me...

Let's just hope we get the best possible deal for Pau because I do believe he is being shopped. The big hurdle is his salary/ worth, for sure...

Timing is so important, Laker management timing...to say the least (which is what Jim Buss should do, say the least  ) is not impressive, if we are stuck with Drew and Gasol next season, I will not be able to watch, it is painful!

Strong offensively yes, like I said. Just because Pau can grab wide open rebounds does not make him a defensive force. Go watch some playoff highlights and go look what happens when people play physical with Gasol. His game shrinks like a scrotum in an ice bath. |

Two things:
1. The deal reported by the paper is ridiculous. There's no way anybody is trading for Odom and his $8.9 million salary, unless they just want to buy out his contract and get cap relief.
2. I think you are overvaluing both Lowry and Dragic. Both are nice players, but neither = Pau. The Lakers don't want anything Houston is offering, otherwise they would have made that deal long ago. |

Sam Amico of Fox Sports reports that if the Cleveland Cavaliers leapfrog the Washington Wizards by trading with the Bobcats and select Bradley Beal. Washington will consider sending the #3 pick to Lakers for Pau Gasol. I dont know who we would select with the pick, but I bet the Lakers strongly consider MKG here.

WTF ....
Not possible unless Lakers take back quite a few pieces. Can the Wizards turn around and trade Ariza that quickly? They just took on Okafor's contract too. They have Nene as well.
Will it be a Pau for Nene & Ariza? I really like Kevin Seraphin too
This is all tooo confusing.
#3 PICK... Damian Lillard? OMG

This not in the works. It's all speculation at this time. He even says it's "Far-fetched for now".

Negotiating tactics.
If he publicly says he plans to trade away from the core, teams will know that he is pushing for a trade and he'll lose leverage.

If there was any truth to this, Okafor or Nene would be coming back with the pick.

| With the reported trade if the Lakers only take back Howard and expiring contracts (and amnesty Artest), at the end of the 2013 season the only players left under contract would be Kobe at $30.45 and Blake at $4.00. And Howard and Chris Paul would both be unrestricted free agents. What the salary cap expected to be? |

| It is so funny to see people who hate Pau panic when they hear about Pau being traded to another team. Pau on the Mavs next to Deron and Dirk (and a real coach) would be a formidable force. |

They have Okafor too now from the trade with the Hornets.
