Chicago sounds like possible future fate of the Spanish power forward
The Bulls could offer Korver and Boozer in exchange for Pau Gasol

When it seemed that the calmer waters down to Pau Gasol in the Lakers after his trade to the Hornets vetoed a new rumor puts into question the future of Spanish in purple and gold.

The Bulls, the team stronger bid for Pau Gasol when he was just the Grizzlies before being traded to the Lakers, it appears that returns to the charge by the Spanish years later.

As reported in the web 'gather.com', and that includes 'tubasket.com' Bulls Lakers study provide the shooter Kyle Korver and burly Carlos Boozer in exchange for the Spanish power forward.

For this hypothetical materialize Pau Gasol transfer form one of the best interiors of the NBA partners with Noah (a complementary player in the style of Spanish) and share a dressing room with Derrick Rose, the youngest MVP in NBA history.

This rumor comes just days after the exclusive interview Pau Gasol in Mark in which he confessed his desire to follow in the Lakers: "retire on the Lakers was my intention. I understand that I decide, of course (laughs) but from the first day I got my intention was to fulfill my contract. I honor what I sign. And if you have to go get out of here, I will be the player I've always been. There is no more. "

[Rnbizzle]

Pretty solid trade if you ask me.

[Yung D-Will]

Great trade for Chicago gives them a very good chance to beat Miami Imo.

But I don't get this trade for LA

[guy]

Gasol is easily better then Boozer. I would love for this to happen. Doubt it does though.

[airchibundo507]

go to hell

[TheMan]

As a Bulls fan, I'd be down for that, don't think it'll happen though.
Good thing I know how to read spanish, that google translation is horrid.

[pegasus]

I don't see why LA would do that. I'm not a fan of Gasol (mainly because of his mental shortcomings), but there is no denying that he is very skilled, and he could find himself playing in our system. He should be worth more than Boozer+Korver, though.

[Go Getter]

I'd be ecstatic.

[Rnbizzle]

As much as I hated Boozer in last years playoffs, I wouldn't like parting with him, I've sort of gotten attached to him, his screaming on the court, bobblehead kinda movement whenever he (or Rose) dunks it..

I like his fire.

Then again, whenever I see him fail on defense I just :facepalm

[dirk94_]

Aww shoot, I like korver though.

[Go Getter]

They're blowing the team up maybe?

But we're getting Pau, a certified #2 in exchange. Pau+Rose+Noah?


:rockon:

[guy]

This would also probably mean that the Lakers have given up on getting Howard, which I doubt.

[brownmamba00]

Anyone have some lipstick? I like to look pretty before I get ****ed
/sp?

[Rnbizzle]

Boozer has a new contract though, which isn't exactly cheap, how does that make sense?

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Terrible trade for the Lakers. They need perimeter defenders and if they aren't gonna get them, they should do Bynum+Pau for Howard straight up (if Orlando is ready and willing).

[Tlova]

Pretty solid trade if you ask me.
L.A. GM must be on crack, bulls fans would sell their souls for this to happen

[chazzy]

As reported in the web 'gather.com', and that includes 'tubasket.com'
seems legit..

[Rnbizzle]

Anyone have some lipstick? I like to look pretty before I get ****ed
/sp?
And can we at least get something to eat first? I liked to be wined and dined before you F*CK me! :lol :lol

[Rnbizzle]

Well yeah, I am a Bulls fan. :lol :cheers:

[R.I.P.]

See Simmons that

[Done_And_Done]

Korver is a juicy add on to the trade but if I'm a Lakers fan I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that this is merely just a rumor. This may arguably be a fair trade on paper but I just can't get over Boozers lackluster performance in last years playoff run. My respect for his game plummeted to new lows...

[KingBaller]

Lakers are getting f*cked on this one... not gonna happen

[R.I.P.]

Lakers are getting f*cked on this one... not gonna happen

Lakers gettin f*cked a lot this off-season. What

[Dragonyeuw]

Horrible trade for LA....

[alanLA92]

Put Rose and Walton in the deal then I'll be happy. :lol

[Fatal9]

Lakers should just trade one of Pau or Odom to get a serviceable PG and SF. That way you can trade one of them to fix your glaring weaknesses but still have the other to secure length/versatility in your frontcourt.

Oh wait :hammerhead:

[longtime lurker]

This rumour is so made up and completely pointless that it makes me laugh. Howard or bust for the Lakers.

[TryToBeUnbias]

:oldlol:

[rwfletch22]

Throw in Asik & Brewer and I'm down

[AirTupac]

Hmm I'll do the deal if you throw in Rose and we throw in Artest, Fisher, Blake and Walton. I mean thats 4 guys compared to 1. THATS A GOOD DEAL.

Make it happen. :pimp:


No but seriously, this is terrible for the Lakers. Why would we want Carlos Boozer who chokes even harder in the playoffs and is less skilled than Pau Gasol (no offense Bulls fans). I also wouldn't be able to watch more than a quarter of a game because I'd probably get a headache from all the yelling he does.

[QuebecBaller]

Korver and Kapono on the same team?

:eek: :eek: :eek:

[KingBaller]

Korver and Kapono on the same team?

:eek: :eek: :eek:

This. They are the same person

[Ralph100]

As a Laker fan... NO!!!

[DStebb716]

No chance the Bulls do that garbage. Carlos Boozer isn't nearly as good as Gasol and then Korver is just bench garbage compared to what the Lakers could get.

[ConanRulesNBC]

Holy crap... as a Bulls fan I would be :banana:

[PrimeJohnnyDepp]

Wil Never Happen.

[pegasus]

No chance the Bulls do that garbage. Carlos Boozer isn't nearly as good as Gasol and then Korver is just bench garbage compared to what the Lakers could get.

Do you always contradict yourself, or are we witnessing a rare occasion?

[allabouthawks]

why would you trade away one of the guys that if u didnt have u wouldnt of one a 1 yet alone 2 championships

[SpecialQue]

If this trade happens I'm fvcking done with the Lakers. It's like they're part of some "who can make the worst possible trade" contest.

Well, ok, maybe I won't be done with the Lakers, but I sure as hell won't be watching as many of their games as I have been.

[GOBB]

As much as I hated Boozer in last years playoffs, I wouldn't like parting with him, I've sort of gotten attached to him, his screaming on the court, bobblehead kinda movement whenever he (or Rose) dunks it..

Then again, whenever I see him fail on defense I just :facepalm

You're not too right if you can't see Gasol is better than Boozer.

[DDensity]

Now I know how non-Lakers fans feel when our fan base proposes absurd trades.

No way this is happening, obviously.

[guy]

It might actually not be that far-fetched. I read somewhere that there were rumors that Gasol is still very upset about the trade and might want a trade. Boozer had a disappointing year, but he is a hit or miss depending on his injuries, and there's not really any other PF available as good as him. You can say his contract is bad, but with this being pretty much the last few good years of Kobe, does that really matter much?

[Glide2keva]

All of this.

[Glide2keva]

Why would you trade away one of the guys that, if u didn't have, you wouldn't have won 1 let alone 2 championships.

Fixed.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Marca.com has 0 credibility. Probably one of the worst sports websites in the world. I'm from Spain and and believe it is an absurd newspaper.

Lakers would never do that trade.

Pretty much. Great trade for Chicago obviously but no way the Lakers do it, athough after giving Odom away for nothing I guess anything is possible.

In this case, given the source, I call bullsh

[NumberSix]

Does a single person in the world think that The Lakers are this stupid?

I mean, it would be a steal for Chicago, but there is no way LA is that dumb

[DirtySanchez]

Please no.........

[All Net]

:facepalm

[rhythmic]

I vomited in my mouth a little...

[Stuckey]

:facepalm :facepalm

srs? boozer?

i'd be happy if this trade goes through, Lakers have zero chance at the gold if boozer is their starter

[Gory Lobotomist]

wow, no Boozer love. Boozer injured last year still had better numbers than most PF. Gasol is getting old and the Lakers need guard depth. Korver can play the 2 or 3 and has a cold heart. Boozer can bang better than Gasol and Artest combined. It is not that far fetched of a trade. Boozer last year was the most sought after guy once Bosh signed to Heat.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Hell NO

[LA_Showtime]

I'm going to murder Jim Buss if this trade goes through.

[Skep]

Did Amare die? God people are retarded. Boozer is one of the softest players to ever play the PF position. Gasol abused him for 3 years in a row when the Jazz played the Lakers in the playoffs. Carlos Boozer will never be the starting PF on a championship team.

I could go on for days but Im not going to waste my energy on something as stupid as this trade idea or the ideal that bulls fans have that Boozer is the answer. Im just surprised he hasn't gotten injured off the court yet by slipping in his kitchen while he was grabbing a pop tart.

Amare was signed prior to Bosh, and Boozer if in Chicago this year will be on a championship team.

[Skep]

Amare was signed prior to Bosh, and Boozer if in Chicago this year will be on a championship team.

I didn't realize Rip Hamilton was the answer to the Bulls beating Miami 4 times in a playoff series. Bulls haven't made any significant changes that make them better than the 1-4 series they had against MIA.

They could make the CF if they beat the Knicks, but don't kid yourself that this bulls team can win the east.

[Dragonyeuw]

Gasol is getting old

Gasol is 31, Boozer is 30.

[d.bball.guy]

If this happens, please trade Kobe to the Raptors for Derozan.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Keep Gasol, use the TE on a new role player/starter...if your already gonna trade Gasol, do the Houston trade.

[Yung D-Will]

This is a deceiving post. Boozer is always injured.

[Funnyfuka]

gasol is not worth boozer+korver... He s more valuable than both of them put together...

[Duncan21formvp]

This is a deceiving post. Boozer is always injured.
Also Gasol is only 1 year older than him.

[trig]

make it happen, they can get another player from the bench mob if they want and some draft picks lol

Rose, Rip, Deng, Pau, Noah... wow

I doubt LA would do this but then again, they traded Lamar for peanuts

[upside24]

No Boozer please.

[Lebron23]

Bad trade for the Lakers.

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[Batz]

Why would Lakers do that..?

[longtime lurker]

Let's get real. Any trade with Boozer and Pau will start off with Boozer, Brewer and the Charlotte pick at a minimum.

[flipogb]

No Deng no deal

[spiegel]

Gasol is better then Boozer, but if Boozer gets healthy and Krover with Kobe will get ton of looks this could be great for both sides.

[ALBballer]

No Deng no deal

This. Why would the Lakers do that deal?

[imdaman99]

as a knicks fan... fcuk no that better not happen :lol

if you think gasol was a lil b*tch in last years playoffs, watch boozer in the playoffs. every year he pulls a gasol :oldlol:

[Pharcyde]

No Deng no deal

Adding Deng is also a no deal for the Bulls. They'd be losing more then they're getting...

[chairman]

Funny thing is I just met kyle korver at starbucks and he told me he hated kobe. Shouldve asked about the trade tho :facepalm doh

[trig]

Blake
Kapono
Korver
Mcbob
Murphy
6th man Luke Walton

[Juges8932]

**** no. I will forever hate the Lakers front office if they trade Gasol for that trash and his shitty contract that is Boozer. I can't imagine they are really that stupid.

[Duncan21formvp]

Funny thing is I just met kyle korver at starbucks and he told me he hated kobe. Shouldve asked about the trade tho :facepalm doh
Why would he say that?

[chairman]

Why would he say that?
Lol I was like good luck on Christmas, beat them I hate Kobe, that's when he said so do I. No need for me to lie got a pic with him too on my fb

[WeGetRing2012]

That charlotte pick though :eek: :eek:

[Jasi]

I love how the Spanish "destino" was translated as "destiny" instead of "destination". Sounds more poetic :lol

[Hank]

lol bulls fans dreaming again

[chairman]

lol bulls fans dreaming again
You're an idiot if you think all bulls fans want this trade.
