3 Team Trade Rumor. LA/Min/Orl

[dunksby]

It does not make sense for Minnesota at all, they lose Barrea, Beasely and Williams for a bigman they dont need.
Pek's upside>> Gasol's

No thanks as a Laker fan.

Who the hell is going to play PF?

Beasley?
Rasheed?
Murphy?

We are still a sh$tty team with this trade

Why not keep both? You can never have too many big men. Gasol can slide to PF with Pekovic and Center with Love. If the Timberwolves are serious about making a playoff push then this move makes a lot of sense. If I told you before the beginning of the season the Timberwolves could get Gasol for Beasley, Williams and Barea people here would pitch a ****ing fit

Well Gasol coming off the bench might not be the best idea, Pau is not the kinda player you sit on the bench since you want to take advantage of his skill set as much as you can.

compared to certain other teams that get 3 superstars ya 2 is pretty shitty

LMAO Gasol starts. Pekovic is nice but let's be real here it's Gasol. Pekovic will still get his minutes sharing the Center position with Gasol. If Minnesota is serious about making a playoff push this is a great trade for them

you're right lol.



Bynum goes to ORL.

Actually Minny would not want to have Love and Gasol both starting, Love/Pek is a much better complementary duo than Love/Gasol.

dude what? Pau is a better passer, shooter and overall 2x better

[ZenMaster]

I still scratch my head as to why Minny would be making a trade for Gasol, when they have a very good centre in Pekovic? I still dont believe the Wolves are asking for gasol, I believe Lakers are asking for beasley, but minny is not asking for gasol.

I also dont think Lakers really want to trade gasol unless they are making a steal. Therefore, I conclude this trade to be 99% improbable.

Beasley will go to the lakers.

If they want to be elite they need 3 big guys. Pekovic-Love-Gasol is a great rotation and they complement each other. Catch and finish, post ups, mid-range, 3pt shooting, passing and rebounding. Offensively these 3 guys combined would give anything you could ask for offensively. On defense it's a different story but they'd be a very good rebounding front court overall and have to roll with something.

This trade would give Minnesota a great shot at making the playoffs for the next 3 years. Plus Gasol and Rubio on the same NBA team would be awesome.

[talkingconch]

apparently the source is legit? not sure about the rumor though

taken from somewhere

According to the biggest and most respected News paper in Puerto Rico, El Nuevo Dia. JJ Barrea as you all know is Puerto Rican and everything that has to do with him this news paper fallows. They were the first to say he was signing with the Timberwolves. The rumor says Lakers receive Beasly, Barrea and Dwight Howard. Orlando would get Andrew Bynum and Derrick Williams.

Just no. Minnesota can make playoffs with what they have, and trading for gasol would mean they would be trading for him to make them a title contender which they will not be. Too weak at the wing, and younger players havent developed enough. They should send off beasley, and wait til next year, when they could trade or sign for a decent wing player. Its obvious that Pekovic plays better with big minutes. Bringing gasol in will hapmper his progress and perhaps make him disgruntled too after earning that starting position.
