ESPN: Gasol-Bynum swap discussed

[TimmyDuncan]

The Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers have had discussions on a trade that would involve Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, league sources told ESPN.com.

[Nick Young]

Bring him home Mitch:bowdown:

Bynum will finally be allowed to shoot as many threes as he wants

[raprap]

do the lakers save money if they waive bynum?

[TimmyDuncan]

A lot. It would be a trade-and-waive for the Lakers. But the Lakers want assets too to give up Gasol

[raprap]

thanks bro, yea maybe a 1st round pick or two. Lakers need to retool, Mitch can do it though.

[D-Rose]

Lakers will save $20 million by doing this. Cavs have solo many draft picks. This would seriously be great for both teams.

Just funny to see a "Gasol for Bynum" trade.

[waseem780]

what would cavs give LA besides bynum?

[Nash]

And Lakers release him for Clippers or Miami to pick him up. Who would have thought?

[SpanishACB]

Mike Brown - D'Antoni - Mike Brown

Gasol must be happy

[flipogb]

any Gasol trade discussions is music to my ears

[All Net]

Saves us 20 million.. Management don't care if it helps Miami.

[wally_world]

Jack and Bynum for Gasol and Xavier Henry?

[Nick Young]

Gasol on Cleveland doe is just another Powerforward for Bennett to warm the bench behind. Also Kyrie on Cleveland is just another guard for Pau to moan about not getting enough shots from.

[Duderonomy]

Gasol on the Cavs is a playoff team. Bynum should sign with the Clippers or Hawks.

[Mass Debator]

Add Nash or it makes no sense.

[VIntageNOvel]

Add Nash or it makes no sense.


agree, nash and gasol , and we will take fathony bustnnet

[NattyPButter]

Add Nash or it makes no sense.
Is Nash's contract over next year? If so Cavs should get rid of that chucker that is Jarrett Jack and Nash can teach Kyrie. Delly makes a better PG and if Cavs dont give up on Jack then Waiters belongs on the starting line up. Jack was hired to be 6th man not Dion.

He would probably play C for Cleveland

[3peated]

dantoni would kill bynums knees lmao

[longtime lurker]

Exactly. Adding Nash completely clears up the capspace. The trade I want to see is Boozer and 2 1sts for Gasol.

[alec613]

still rather have Gasol than Bynum shooting 3s.


Nash would be included, and he'll most likely be with stretch provision.
He's not playing ever again!

well, from what everybody else is saying itt, bynum would be waived.

Looks like it.

**** no, Gasol should retire as a Laker.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

lakers need draft picks, fck saving money.

I really doubt he entertains the idea of living in Cleveland

[tomtucker]

Bynum/waiters for gasol works

[DukeDelonte13]

I'd be salty if the cavs give up any 1sts.

[gts]

lakers need draft picks, fck saving money.

this.. it's not about money because this does nothing long term, saves them money this season but doesn't reset the repeater tax because that's based on 4 out of 5 years, not get below the tax limit one year and get a reset.... they'd need to do it two years in a row to get any long term benefits

in the end what it does if they take no contracts back is the same as if they just let gasol walk at the end of the season, get below the tax line so they have more options to acquire players in the off season

this exactly...they need to have some picks or young talent coming back or there is no point in this trade.

they would keep gasol if only thing coming back is Bynum + Gee

[LBJMVP]

Bynum/waiters for gasol works
He'll no. IMO waiters should be off limits to trade.

Pau and Nash for Bynum, jack, and sacramentos first that is owed to us is the best trade for both teams.

[RedBlackAttack]

Pau and Nash for Bynum, jack, and sacramentos first that is owed to us is the best trade for both teams.
That's way too much for Pau and Nash's corpse.

I actually think the Cavs should trade Jack, who is redundant on this roster especially with the coming out of Delly as a serviceable combo guard off the bench. But, if he doesn't contribute a thing for the rest of his career, Bynum is valuable as an expiring contract. Jack is still a good player, despite his redundancy here.

And, the first rounder is just total overkill. The constraints on that Kings pick are beginning to lessen and we may be getting closer to actually getting it... and it would potentially be a very nice pick.

Meanwhile, neither Pau nor Nash would probably be on the team two years from now. And, Nash is still owed almost $10 million next year.

I like the idea of bringing him in to mentor Kyrie and Dion, but not at the expense of a first round pick. The Lakers should be looking to shed his salary if anything. We'd be doing them a favor.

Nash has a stretch provision next year where the team only needs to pay him 3 mill to basically waive him. So it's an option. But if the Cavs don't sign anyone special, his 9 mill expirer next year could be a good trade chip to have for the Kevin Love sweepstakes the year coming.

I actually might be okay with that trade. I'm not as big on Jack anymore this season than last.

Either

1) Nash/Meeks for Bynum

or

2) Nash/Gasol for Bynum/Jack/1st round pick

Like I said to you before, I like the idea of us getting Nash for a lot of reasons. But, let's not pretend like we wouldn't be doing the Lakers a favor by taking on his salary. It would be mutually beneficial... not worth a first round pick.

The pick is really only in there because the fans on here would demand it and honestly I don't think we're ever getting that pick anyway. I'd certainly like to not lose picks but it might be necessary. I just want jack and Bynum gone.

Who cares if it's 2014. I think the Cavs have a couple picks from other teams too I think. Cavs are essentially getting playoff push and getting rid of Jack's contract(holy shit it's kinda horrible!)

To me Jack's contract is okay, not good, not bad. But gets into the Laker's way of signing a top tier PG. If they do get Jack, they're probably set with a Jordan Farmar/Jarrett Jack tandem at the PG position. Maybe Steve Blake as insurance for the vet min with all the injuries they've been dealt this year. Not a bad rotation.

I'd rather wait and get Kyle Lowry though.

The Lakers would only be shaving off 3 million off the cap by swapping Jack and Nash. They might be better off just using the stretch provision on Nash. My ideal plan would be to absorb Boozer's contract along with some picks and resign the role players like Henry, Young, Farmar and Wes Johnson. Then 2015 say hello to Kevin Love!

[BallsOut]

Are you sure you will doe? TOR got potential.

The GM in Toronto will break it up before the deadline. Wiggins is on the line. I don't think the fans will be too happy about them making the playoffs and being out in the 1st round with no shot at a lottery pick.

For the Lakers, its a waiting game. Either try and trade for him now (which doesn't make too much sense) or pick him up in the offseason as a free agent.

It's not even about that, we can use gasol, he's negatively effective for the bobcats so why would they trade two picks and a player to get worse and add more money?

Edit: Toronto wouldn't do that they can get a better deal than trading Lowry as an expirer for another expirer. They can get a good pick for him

But a person familiar with the situation downplayed the report, saying the Lakers would want more value for Gasol in a trade and, additionally, that it would be a stretch for the Lakers to reacquire Bynum, who is indefinitely suspended by the Cavaliers for conduct detrimental to the team.

Cognitive dissonance at its best (or worst, depending on how you look at it).

Here's what he really thinks of Pau when he's not cooking up ridiculously one-sided trades benefiting the Lakers....

Pau Gasol is a complete bum who is overpaid, doesn't care anymore, is fat, doesn't play any defense, etc.

Now, give us young talent and draft picks for him.

[retaxis]

IMO Lakers won't be getting jack squat for Gasol. No team is stupid enough to ruin their long term prospects for a years use of over the hill Gasol. Some of these Kobe fans are so delusional they probably think they can get Carmelo Anthony or KD for Gasol.

I'll miss Pau, but the cap relief is desirable. Do the Lakers even deserve cap space, though? They'll probably just give Kobe a raise. :facepalm

[Lebron23]

Gasol is past his prime, but he's playing better than post injury Bynum.

Can the Nets still trade Brook Lopez? Gasol can play C and Lakers can tank the season out.

[scm5]

Gasol is past his prime, but he's playing better than post injury Bynum.

I'm convinced that Bynum is still capable of putting up efficient scoring numbers but he just doesn't care about the game anymore.

I think he has the ability to be the best Center in the league if he just gets his shit together.

As a Laker fan, I'm not sure how I feel about a Gasol-Bynum swap, but if the Cavs waive Bynum I would love for my team to pick him back up.

[hawkfan]

Hawks get Chris Kaman (expirer), Lakers get Gustavo Ayon (expirer).

Pau is a $20 mill expirer in himself. Lakers get nothing trading expirer for expirer. they and a lot of GM's around the league still think he can play at a decent to high level and i'm sure some GM's are thinking he'll be better outside of LA in a different situation than in it.

Lakers are going to want some assets. either young players, picks, or possibly a star not playing well on a team not going anywhere(maybe deron?). i really think they're going after Waiters with Bynum even if Cav's fans don't want to hear it. it makes too much sense. and the Cav's saying they're waiting on Kyrie's knee results maybe hints at that.

Waiters makes absolutely no sense for the Lakers. They have Kobe starting at the 2 when he comes back, and Nick Young off the bench who's been play really well. Waiter's doesn't even like coming off the bench in Cleveland, why would he do that in LA?

Waiters isn't going to be happy coming off the bench and watching Kyrie solo the other team every last 2 minutes when the game matters. and i don't know if the Cav's even want 2 chucking guards who need the ball in their hands over a proven veteran big.

Keep Gasol.

If you think you're getting a valuable 2014 first + expirers for him in his current state, you're out of your mind. I have to be honest, I don't even really want the guy. He'd take away valuable growth minutes from our young guys and he's close to finished.

Lamar Odom & Pau Gasol are same Lame Mutha Fcukas

won 2 championships and stopped caring for the game all together

Odom collected 16mil last 2 year playing zero ball

Pau Gasol is doing the same but collecting double play

I have a better idea...

Keep Gasol.

If you think you're getting a valuable 2014 first + expirers for him in his current state, you're out of your mind. I have to be honest, I don't even really want the guy. He'd take away valuable growth minutes from our young guys and he's close to finished.


I mean, you agree right?

Time? :oldlol:

You've been trashing the guy for a couple years, but it has hit a peak this year. Those are the results from a 10 second Google search. I'm sure if I really dug around, I could find far more and better material in light of your position in this thread.

And, yes, you said "the Lakers," but then used the term "we" in the next sentence. It's OK to talk out of both sides of your mouth. Just admit it when you're exposed as doing it.


good keep him cause the lakers want ur 2014 1st and thats it with bynum + filler

we decided to roll with Pau at the beginning of the yr so we are not going to do a trade for Pau 4 Bynum

GTFO u troll

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

Gasol is at the top of his game. Lakers better be looking for multiple 1st rounders from the Cavs or GTFO.

[Nick Young]

they need another scorer and someone who is going to take over when kobe has nothing left, which could be real soon. Nick Young sucks and is nobody's future. Waiters could be a building block.
Jabari Parker is the future doe:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Too bad you aren't the GM because your GM is a complete dumbass and ours is Mitch GOATchak who is going to screw your franchise over like no tomorrow. Have fun with Gasol, thanks in advance for the first round pick doe:rockon:

You guys are ****ing high if you think you'll end up on the winning side of any trade involving Nash and Gasol. You should be happy to shed salary and that's all you greedy ****s

No Gasol and bynum in the trade?

[hawkfan]

hawkfan Trade Scenario (where amazing happens):

Cavs get

Omer Asik

Rockets get

Andrew Bynum

The Rockets take a flyer on Bynum. He can play every other game, he'll be on a winning team. If he doesn't work out, they can either trade him next year or they can waive him. The Rockets clear out the $14 million owed to Asik next year, so they then could spend it on a power forward who is a better fit.

The Cavs get a solid center in Asik, whose contract is only about 2 million more than Bynum's contract next year.

[Trentknicks]

Brilliant Hawkfan, Rockets can the two most immature Center's in the league on the one team and Asik gets to share his minutes with Andy V.

As standard, another horrible trade idea.

The Rockets clear out over 14 million against the salary cap next year, so that part in itself is good, since they can then go out and spend money on a better fit at power forward.

Andy Varajeo will end up going down to Miami next year to take over Joel Anthony's spot on the roster.

Cavs mulling a few trade scenarios for Andrew Bynum, with target of Monday to choose one. Unlikely Cavs send out significant asset w/ Bynum.

good...lakers aint doing no salary dump.

Cavs will be Cavs...go for cheap salary dump and straight to Lottery once again....no shame

The Lakers trading Bynum for Gasol IS a salary dump

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

The Lakers trading Bynum for Gasol IS a salary dump

thats why lakers are not doing that trade.

think logically if you can for a second: if they wanted to avoid luxury tax they would have just amnestied pau gasol instead of ron artest.

that would have got them below lux tax easily.

they can still hold off gasol & trade him at deadline and get some value out him

they can easily get below lux tax by keeping gasol in the hope of signing him for cheap in offseason.

blake to warriors for Brandan Rush TPE + 2nd
Kaman to Hawks for TPE + future 2nd
Hill to suns or Minny for 1st round pick

its easy for lakers to get under if they decided too

I don't think the trades you posted work because those teams are over the Cap. Also I think you are ignoring that the Lakers FO probably thought they would be in a better position than where they currently are when they made the amnesty decision. Not saying they'll cut salary but it is not uncommon for a team to reassess it's standing and go in a different direction.
