    Lakers send out Bynum & Gasol
    Receive Dwight Howard, J Rich, JJ Barea

    Magic send out Dwight & J Rich
    Receive Bynum, Derrick Williams, Wesley Johnson, Chase Budinger

    Wolves send out Derrick Williams, Wesley Johnson, Chase Budinger, JJ Barea
    Receive Pau Gasol

    Then Lakers use TPE for Varejao!

    A Batum and Gasol off season would vault MN into a top 4 team in the Western Conference.

    Same can be said about Gasol right now.

    The difference is 1 guy is 22 and hasn't consistently played up to his potential and the other guy is 32 and is gradually getting worse due to unknown reasons.

    I'd take the gamble that all 3 of Cool Beas, Williams, & Randolph "pan out" as they enter their prime years.

    Yeah. It wouldn't matter what seed we get, we'd be the scariest team in the playoffs.

    Don't see any reason for Lakers to do this if they're not getting Pek back. Don't see any reason for Wolves to make Pek and Gasol split time at the 5 either really.

    Hypothetically if they do get Pau, what does Minny's depth chart look like?

    Does Love or Gasol take a majority of minutes at C?

    Yes, it would be too much of a good thing. We'll have to give the other teams a chance.

    We're after Hill and Steisma. One of those would do if we have to get rid of Pek in the deal. Darko is still on the Wolves.

    No way this happens. They wouldn't do Gasol for Josh Smith, so what makes you think they'd do Gasol for a bunch of garbage?

    That's true.

    But how does Gasol fit in? Who starts? I'm kind of confused why the T'Wolves are looking at him aside from the fact that he's white.
