ESPN - Phoenix Suns exploring trade for Pau Gasol

[sfballa13]

Lakers dont have any incentive to make this move unless Phoenix adds their 2015 pick back from the Nash trade

Why not trade Pau to any other team for an expiring and a young guy?

Why not trade Pau and at the same time get rid of Nash?

What about:
Josh Smith, Stuckey, Charlie V
for
Gasol and Steve Nash

Pistons dump Smith, Lakers save 10M next year, Josh Smith might thrive under D'Antoni

Why would the pistons make this trade? they can get better for Smith

Only trade Gasol if they can ship Nash with him too.

Gasol + Nash

for

Two 1st round picks, Plumlee, Okafor, expiring fillers

[CeltsGarlic]

Lakers fans expectations are unlimited.

Come on man, Pau is at least worth Bledsoe and Dragic. Toss in Nash and I think PHX would have to include Plumlee and Hornacek.

Nope.

It seems lately like Im one of fewer and fewer people who believes a MOTIVATED pau is still a difference maker. I would absolutely love to see him on that Suns team.

Lakers will lose him this offseason anyway so it shouldnt take much to ply him away. Get it done..... Suns GM!

Pau is still a top 5 PF in today's game when motivated. He's putting up 17 points 10.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.45 blocks per game in under 32 minutes. It'll take at least 2 first round picks if Phoenix wants him.

I just want a pick and Okafor to make the numbers work, you can't tell me thats too much

yes u can. pau is a free agent this summer and the suns will have cap space.

[Run&Gun=Fun]

Lakers fans are delusional here.... I'm not sure if you're being facetious or not.

You're not going to get fair value for Pau because you've got no leverage in any deal . GM's aren't stupid, they know its better for the lakers to trade him as it helps the tank and the guy is leaving anyway. The best you will get, from anyone is an expirer and an average pick.
