View Full Version : RUMOR: Lakers Shopping Gasol For Eastern Conf.Star PG?

Who makes the most sense? Rondo??? Stuckey??? Augustin? Nelson?



• One Eastern Conference executive told FOX Sports Ohio he’s heard from the Lakers recently, and word around the league is they may try to make a "substantial" trade before the regular season. Apparently, forward Pau Gasol remains far from untouchable.

• Many NBA talent-evaluators feel as if Steve Nash is no longer capable of playing at a high level for more than 15-20 minutes game. The Lakers, it is believed, are on the lookout for a younger point guard who's a more potent scorer. But as everyone who deals in the trade market will tell you, that won't be so easy to obtain.

Pau Gasol will net you an old star or a promising youngster. Not a young star. This rumor will stay a rumor.

BS article. if they wanted they would have done before the training camp.

they learned 1 thing last yr is for all the guys/coaches to have a training camp together

Lakers are NOT trading gasol. 1 package i would trade him for Jimmy butler/M Teague/T Snell

i cant see it happening this early in the season. by all star break? maybe.

but right now, with kobe nearly back from injury, the lakers wouldnt completely gut their team without seeing what this team can do for the first few months, regardless of how shitty non lakers fans think theyll be.

Take Gasol off of that team and they will be in the lottery. It will expose Kobe yet again.

Pre-Gasol with prime Kobe= first round loss
Post-Gasol with old Kobe= lottery

Some two-way trades I tried in NBA Trade Machine that were successful...

Lakers get: Rajon Rondo, Gerald Wallace
Celtics get: Pau Gasol, Jodie Meeks

Analysis: Boston goes into full rebuild mode and Gasol's $19 contract will come off the books after this year making them prime to start rebuilding. Rondo goes to a contender and with Nash on his way out soon the Lakers can possibly make one last push with Kobe for the Finals before he retires. The cost is that the price they pay is taking on Wallace's contract for $10+ million for the next 3 years.

=====

Lakers get: Kemba Walker, Ben Gordon
Bobcats get: Pau Gasol

Not likely. Walker is a ball-dominate. Won't mesh with Kobe. But Jordan might be dumb enough to do the trade. Maybe he'll even throw MKG in there too just because he doesn't know what the f*ck he's doing.

=====

Lakers get: Rodney Stucky, Charlie Villanueva
Bobcats get: Pau Gasol

I really think Stucky needs a change of scenery. I think he's still a solid PG/SG in the league, but is always injuries and maybe a new team with a better outlook might do him some good.

=====

Lakers get: Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu
Magic get: Pau Gasol

This trade out of all them makes the most sense. The Magic are in full rebuild mode right now. They get Gasol for one year, probably make him sit most of the year and his $19 million expires after this season. They get rid of Turkoglu, then they depart ways with Nelson who has 2 years left on his contract since Oladipo will probably be the Magic's future PG at least short-term right now unless he doesn't work out (which so far he's been pretty decent as a scoring PG). Nelson isn't "young" but he's still a good PG and can help with one last push for the playoffs before Kobe retires.

hawkfan Trade Scenario (where amazing happens):

Rockets get

Steve Nash

Lakers get

Jeremy Lin

Lin reunites with MDA to run his offense, which he can do well. Lin can get to the rim and he would fit in well with Gasol and Bryant. Bryant would really push him on turnovers and on defense.

The Rockets get Nash to back up Beverly, providing veteran leadership.

Contracts are similar.

hawkfan
10-14-2013, 05:54 PM
Gasol's contract is real hard to trade.
If they really want to make a deal, they may contact the Hawks for Teague and Korver and another contract, but that would kill a lot of cap space next summer.

Well that's the trade off. You want the best PG available rightnow? You can get him, but you're going to have to take some bad with it too. To be fair he'd be better than any other SF you got on your team right now and he fits that spot for that team. The only thing that sucks abotu him is the contract.

TheGreatDeraj
10-14-2013, 06:15 PM
This is crap.

Messing with Gasol head before he has even stepped on the court this season. Dude does not play as well when he is being involved in trade talks.

In the past Kobe has had to come out and tell management to trade him or not because the talks were affecting his play.

Would rather just let him expire unless they get a good wing or big guy. PG scorers are easier to shut down than other positions. Just put a long athletic wing on them.

I doubt the Lakers swap big name players with the freaking Celtics.

As long as youre planning to have Kobe Bryant on your team there is no reason to employ a point guard taking up any significant amount of cap space. Itd just be a waste.


Face it. This year is all about Kobe and the phony heroics of his return. The broadcasters will force it into the narrative of every game, Kobe will of course play the contrived role of triumphant warrior on the court, hogging shots, scowling, awkwardly trying to fire up his teammates to do this or that. He knows all the fans in LA will eat it up. The team will under perform but Kobe will be forcing up shots after coming back from injury so everyone will blame Pau, or Nash, or D'Antoni, or Jim Buss, or Kaman, etc etc


Kobe will put himself above the team as always, and as always his dumb stans in LA will somehow force themselves not to see it.

I honestly think it would take Nash coming to them this season for a trade to happen.

Maybe next summer something would shake out but this season I see the roster as being fairly set in stone. The one thing that could or would change that scenario is if the Lakers were actually doing much better than expected and a trade would put them in contention or the opposite happens and they are in the cellar so far out of it at the trade deadline and a trade sets them up with something for next year.

Contracts like Gasol's are no longer all the rage, big expiring contracts don't carry the weight they used to

Lakers aren't getting any young, legit talent for Gasol. They will end up letting him expire and walk for the cap space.

Has anyone considered perhaps MCW? Brett Brown is high on Tony Wroten because MCW is still developing his shot.

Pau for Boozer, Teague and Charlotte's pick?

Pau is significantly better than Boozer, so this trade completes two things...
1) Chicago improves a lot this year, giving them an even better shot at toppling Miami.
2) Lakers get worse, with a legit trade (instead of obvious tanking), thus giving them a higher pick this year and they get Charlotte's pick sometime in the next 3 years.

None of us thought the Lakers could land Chris Paul but they somehow pulled it off. I'm not saying a trade for Rondo has any legs, but based on where the Celtics are right now it could be a possibility. It's more grounded in reality than pipe dreams like Kyrie Irving or Derek Rose.
There's nothing realistic about it. There's no benefit to it for the Celtics, you just think it could happen because it benefits the Lakers. The CP3 deal that didn't happen has no relevance to this, that deal wasn't made with Ainge and the Celtics. While it's true that Gasol won't get them Rose or Irving there is no reason why it gets the Lakers Rondo either.

Gasol would help the Bulls alot.

I'm happy with what we've got though

Whenever you can trade Pau Gasol for DJ Augustin, you just HAVE to do it.

Pau and Blake for Rose and Noah.

Unfair for the Lakers if you ask me. Throw in Jimmy Butler and we just might consider it.
