Lakers offering Gasol for a top 10 pick & a player.

[neilio23]

The Toronto deal really intrigues me if they can snag Damian Lillard at #8

There is no way that BC is trading away his Golden Boy....

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Toronto's #8 + Bargnani?

Detroit's #9 + Rodney Stuckey?

I'd really like Golden State's #7 + David Lee

While we are at it: Tyreke Evans + #5

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Orlando will have to approve of the deal before it goes down.
Don't kid yourselves....this is really about packaging a top 10 pick with Bynum for DHoward.

[Horatio33]

The battery life on Daryl Morey's phone must be low as fukk.

[Harrison_Barnes]

As much as I can't stand Bargnani, I'd rather have him on the team then Gasol at this point. It makes no sense to trade someone who is just as good as Gasol and a lottery pick to get an old Gasol on a rebuilding team.

So the Lakers virtually are trading BOTH Gasol and Bynum for Howard? I thought that was too much for them.

if its for Josh Smith or Bargnani and a pick, then pick goes to Magic then it works

but the Wizards deal would basically turn into Gason/Bynum for Howard which is too much and that its not what the Lakers want to do

[BlackVVaves]

If the Lakers only had a clue...

What they need is 3 point shooting to space the floor and punish teams for doubling Kobe or the post, a reliable point guard that won't Ty Lawson to look like prime Tim Hardaway in the playoffs, and a couple of players that aren't D-League level talent to add depth to the bench.

Swapping Bynum for Dwight isn't helping a thing. Still will have the some structural problems. Even WORST, essentially trading Gasol, Bynum, and a lottery pick for Dwight is irresponsible.

The Lakers front office should be focusing on Gerald Wallace. Beasley. Lowry. Bargnani. Calderon. Ariza. Courtney Lee. Players like that. They have too many holes to be making a trade that further depletes their thin roster.

But, again, Jim Buss doesn't have a clue

Depends on the player(s) they get in the Gasol trade. I still don't like the idea of such a team only consisting of Kobe and Howard along with a bunch of nothing.

I'm not sure I wouldn't just keep Bynum, the pick and whichever player comes along.

[pegasus]

They can get Barg, then use the pick and Bynum for Howard.

Kobe+Barg+Howard is a great trio to build around.

LA is trying to go the Houston rout and try to get Orl. A high pick and a solid player.

I understand the sentiment but Pau is better than Bargs

I can understand the logic behind it. Kobe needs a reliable big man, and Howard needs a reliable scorer other than himself. So trading for Howard would make sense. But I'd hate to see the Lakers reduced to Kobe/Howard...and.........?

[Noof]

Toronto's #8 + Bargnani?

I'd love that. Bargnani would complement Kobe and Bynum very well, and they could potentially get Lillard with the pick. Doubt it happens though.
