What would it take for Deron to be a Laker?

[konex]

Can NJ do a sign and trade with him?

[DTreats]

Yes, they can.

That's the only way actually, or unless he accepts a 3 years, 10 million dollar contract.

Pau and Sessions?

Think that would be enough?

Derrick Williams and the 18th pick. 3 team trade. Sign & trade.

Jim Buss now runs the team.

Derrick Williams and the 18th pick. 3 team trade. Sign & trade.

LOL, you actually believe this.

[BlackVVaves]

It would require the Nets to first get a lottery pick, so that they at least have SOMETHING to market to their new fanbase. If the Blazers get that pick, then I see the Nets finding a way to keep Deron, by any means necessary.

It would then take a whole lot of manuvering. That T-Wolves trade isn't too bad, but the Nets would need more back.

1st: Nets would have to be unsuccessful in landing Dwight Howard.
2nd: It would take a 3rd team that wants Gasol and is willing to part with assets the Nets would want (decent young players).

Derrick Williams and the 18th pick. 3 team trade. Sign & trade.

That's AWFUL. Williams has shown nothing apart from being Beasley 2.0 and the 18th pick doesn't get you a whole lot. Minny and LA bite your hand off, even with Pau's gargantuan contract.

That's not true. Minny would take that deal. And the Nets would have no option but to take the deal or lose him for nothing. Derrick Williams has shown to be a great young player and they have no other 1st round picks so the 18th pick would be good too.

Minny has said many time that they are looking for a veteran to add and they have been pursuing Gasol since last year.

you need to move on from the Minny concept.
Here's why:
1. cannot make the math work.
2. Minny does not need Pek and two PFs. Gasol is not good at center.

Now, if you want to include Pek in a deal, it might make sense, but I don't think that is going to happen. Pek is looking GREAT for them.

Of course the Wolves love it, they have an all-star calibre big man coming in for a guy they already have one of (Beasley) and a pick that's unlikely to bring anything else in.

You really think someone else isn't going to say, hey, we'll throw you Kevin Martin and the 16th pick? Or even the 17th pick and Beaubois? Or Darren Collison and the 26th pick? ALL of those are better offers.

So Minnesota would prefer Pek over Gasol

And Gasol played center most of the time he was with us with Lamar at the 4 (who is stretch 4 just like Love).

And obviously more players would have to be involved to make it work but that would be the main part of the deal.
