Pau Gasol Trade to Chicago

Well im glad nothing like this ever happened.. Nash will do wonders for Gasol.

I don't know about that. Bynum and Gasol was already a pretty awful fit, and Dwight and Gasol is probably worse. More of Gasol spotting up isn't really great for LA.

well, bynum had a back it down post game so gasol was sort of left to stand around and watch. howard is a better PNR player than bynum and he's more reactionary/quick so that should play right into gasol's hands. i think we'll see gasol in the post more next season and he'll excel in PNR with nash

I agree about Dwight's pick and roll game, but it's still a pretty awful fit. Ideally they're both primarily low block post players.

lolwut? Dwight and Gasol is a better fit than Bynum simply because Dwight can score just by being active. He'll probably get half his points for lobs, put backs, cleaning up and finishing passes. From the olympics I see Gasol's been working on his 3 point shot. Dwight's also a better passer out of the post than Bynum so Gasol should feed off open looks all day.
