Minnesota pulling out all stops to get Pau Gasol.

[Rowe]

How about something like this?

Minny gets Gasol.

Lakers get Al Jefferson, Brad Miller and Luke Ridnour.

Jazz get Derrick Williams and Wesley Johnson.

The Jazz have some extra assets to give if needed, but Johnson is basically a bust and Minny seem to be ready to give up on DWill2 after just one season.

Jefferson is strictly a Center.

He wouldn't fit next to Bynum unless they want 2 big men struggling to get down the floor on offense or back on defense.

I've never heard anything except Kahn turned them down.

"I bet it was Kahn then" = Pure speculation that takes root in you thinking every move Kahn has made has been bad.

I could be wrong, but I've never ready anything about LA rejecting Love for Pau, never ever.

Following 10' would have been a great decision imo, which is why it seems likely to me. I just really can't recall the rumors back then exactly although there were sources to back up the talks regardless...

A proven 2-time champion putting great, solid, consistent numbers in both runs against a young Love who wasn't yet an all-star caliber player nor had a big breakout year following the 2010 season....plz, Gasol was hotter than jalape

Yeah, I don't see why we'd break up the Gasol/Bynum tandem and replace it with Jefferson/Bynum, especially when Jefferson is injury prone, doesn't play defense, and is less versatile than Gasol.

Love for Kobe+Gasol+Bynum

(kidding, this is a knock at the Laker retards saying Love for Pau)

Way to troll and not troll at the same time....

Pau for Love only seems right....in my eyes. Love strictly a PF, Gasol a combo C/PF...

Never happening. Love is untouchable. I don't want any of your players for Love, period. He's the greatest PF in the game right now and he's 23. Who's the one trolling?

As long as Khan wants them I am cool. You forgot you got no say.....Gasol is the best combo C/PF in the game....[COLOR="White"]yes I am trolling.[/COLOR]

[TheFan]

Lakers expecting too much... Gasol is a declining player on a bad contract... what do you want? Gasol for Kevin Love? get your shit straight...

Id jump on any deal that brings young players(forwards) and easy contracts.

[04mzwach]

JJ Barea, Webster, Williams is a fair trade for Gasol. It gives LA a lot in return.

[PJR]

You get Gasol for Kwame Brown, and four years later you think you're going to flip him for a 23 year superstar.

Injury prone? He`s missed something like 4-5 games over the last two years in Utah, and two of those were because he attended a funeral.

Al says himself that he is a PF, but has to play center.
