RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
Who makes the most sense? Rondo??? Stuckey??? Augustin? Nelson?
[QUOTE][QUOTE]• One Eastern Conference executive told FOX Sports Ohio he’s heard from the Lakers recently, and word around the league is they may try to make a "substantial" trade before the regular season. Apparently, forward Pau Gasol remains far from untouchable.
• Many NBA talent-evaluators feel as if Steve Nash is no longer capable of playing at a high level for more than 15-20 minutes game. The Lakers, it is believed, are on the lookout for a younger point guard who's a more potent scorer. But as everyone who deals in the trade market will tell you, that won't be so easy to obtain.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
Pau Gasol will net you an old star or a promising youngster. Not a young star. This rumor will stay a rumor.

D Rose welcome to Los Angleles
Gasol, Steve Blake & cash considerations for Rose, Bulter & a 1st.
Makes sense for both teams, get it done mitch!

Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
not a surprise because there was a rumor floating last year as well, only Howard was mentioned instead of Gasol

[QUOTE=Go4thaGold]Who makes the most sense? Rondo???[/QUOTE]
BS article. if they wanted they would have done before the training camp.
they learned 1 thing last yr is for all the guys/coaches to have a training camp together
Lakers are NOT trading gasol. 1 package i would trade him for Jimmy butler/M Teague/T Snell

Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
A rebuilding team would love an almost $20 million expiring contract though, wouldn't they? ;):D

Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
i cant see it happening this early in the season. by all star break? maybe.
but right now, with kobe nearly back from injury, the lakers wouldnt completely gut their team without seeing what this team can do for the first few months, regardless of how shitty non lakers fans think theyll be.

Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
Rebuild mode for the team AARP.
-
Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
Take Gasol off of that team and they will be in the lottery. It will expose Kobe yet again.
Pre-Gasol with prime Kobe= first round loss
Post-Gasol with old Kobe= lottery

If I'm Pau, I'm getting out of LA once my deal expires.

Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
Some two-way trades I tried in NBA Trade Machine that were successful...
[B]Lakers get: Rajon Rondo, Gerald Wallace
Celtics get: Pau Gasol, Jodie Meeks[/B]
Analysis: Boston goes into full rebuild mode and Gasol's $19 contract will come off the books after this year making them prime to start rebuilding. Rondo goes to a contender and with Nash on his way out soon the Lakers can possibly make one last push with Kobe for the Finals before he retires. The cost is that the price they pay is taking on Wallace's contract for $10+ million for the next 3 years.
=====
[B]Lakers get: Kemba Walker, Ben Gordon
Bobcats get: Pau Gasol[/B]
Not likely. Walker is a ball-dominate. Won't mesh with Kobe. But Jordan might be dumb enough to do the trade. Maybe he'll even throw MKG in there too just because he doesn't know what the f*ck he's doing.
=====
[B]Lakers get: Rodney Stucky, Charlie Villanueva
Bobcats get: Pau Gasol[/B]
I really think Stucky needs a change of scenery. I think he's still a solid PG/SG in the league, but is always injuries and maybe a new team with a better outlook might do him some good.
=====
[B]Lakers get: Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu
Magic get: Pau Gasol[/B]
This trade out of all them makes the most sense. The Magic are in full rebuild mode right now. They get Gasol for one year, probably make him sit most of the year and his $19 million expires after this season. They get rid of Turkoglu, then they depart ways with Nelson who has 2 years left on his contract since Oladipo will probably be the Magic's future PG at least short-term right now unless he doesn't work out (which so far he's been pretty decent as a scoring PG). Nelson isn't "young" but he's still a good PG and can help with one last push for the playoffs before Kobe retires.

WTF. Only retard laker fans come up with these incredibly lopsided trade ideas.
-
Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
The trades I posted are the onyl ones that are feesible to me. I would think Irving, Rose and some other PGs are untouchable right now. Those guys I mentioned aren't IMO.

Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
hawkfan Trade Scenario (where amazing happens):
Rockets get
Steve Nash
Lakers get
Jeremy Lin
Lin reunites with MDA to run his offense, which he can do well. Lin can get to the rim and he would fit in well with Gasol and Bryant. Bryant would really push him on turnovers and on defense.
The Rockets get Nash to back up Beverly, providing veteran leadership.
Contracts are similar.
-
Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
Gasol's contract is real hard to trade.
If they really want to make a deal, they may contact the Hawks for Teague and Korver and another contract, but that would kill a lot of cap space next summer.

Fair enough.
Who's a star that's out there and who has a tradeable contract? Teague is a good player, but not a star.

What else is out there?
Jim Buss should have moved Gasol in the summer when teams were looking to make deals.

Don't nit pick the word "star" IMO. The only realistic PGs tradeable in the East are Stuckey, Sessions, maybe Walker, Rondo, Nelson

Pau, blake for monroe, stuckey, cv[/QUOTE]
Pretty much garauntee the Pistons don't give up Monroe. He's part of their future. They're going to want to get rid of Stucky+Charlie V. If you want Stuckey you gotta take Charlie V with his ass.

Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
gasol is a 20 million expirer. so considering this is a PG league these days, i dont see the lakers going for any of those names mentioned besides rondo. Lowry is UFA next season, they could just go after him instead of adding salary via trade to next season.
-

[QUOTE=Lakers_Kobe_Fan]lakers not taking trash of wallace for 3 more yrs of 10mileach[/QUOTE]
Well that's the trade off. You want the best PG available rightnow? You can get him, but you're going to have to take some bad with it too. To be fair he'd be better than any other SF you got on your team right now and he fits that spot for that team. The only thing that sucks abotu him is the contract.
-
Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
This is crap.
Messing with Gasol head before he has even stepped on the court this season. Dude does not play as well when he is being involved in trade talks.
In the past Kobe has had to come out and tell management to trade him or not because the talks were affecting his play.
Would rather just let him expire unless they get a good wing or big guy. PG scorers are easier to shut down than other positions. Just put a long athletic wing on them.
I doubt the Lakers swap big name players with the freaking Celtics.

not really. they will wait when lebron/wade/melo/bosh and bunch of others are free agent and try their luck in summer.
rather then chasing Rondo & taking the ugly of wallace. its not bad...its ugly contract
-
Re: RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?
This year is probably a write-off. Almost everyone expires after this season, so I doubt Lakers take on any salary past this year.(Rondo would be an exception of course)
