I think I know what the Lakers are doing!

[Bosnian Sajo]

There are rumors of Williams/Love for Gasol, and if that were to get done the lakers would then probably trade Bynum/Williams/TE for Howard/either Hedo or Nelson, probably Hedo.

Fisher/Blake
Kobe/Barnes
Hedo/Artest
Love/McRoberts
Howard/Murphy

Not bad at all, only reason I am somewhat hopeful of this trade is because Kahn is an idiot as we all know.

[PrimeJohnnyDepp]

They won't trade Love. One can only wish for Love.

When news came out today that Baron Davis is signing with the Knicks I was pissed the Lakers missed another shot at a decent PG. I wondered what was Mitch doing and what are these "big deals" the Lakers are pursuing. But I thought about the news that Gasol is in talks to be traded to Minny and the on going talk of Bynum to the Magic. I think Mitch will make his moves but 5 games into the season (January 1st) after Bynum serves his 5 game supension. For some reason the Timberwolves really want Gasol to play along side his fellow Spinard Rubio & Derrick Williams. Howard has obviously told the Magic he wants to be traded to supposedly the Nets or the Lakers. So it will look like this

Timberwolves get Gasol.

Lakers get Kevin Love, Michael Beasley, and either Luke Ridnour or Brad Miller or Anthony Tolliver or Darko.

Magic get Bynum and rights to some of rookies + picks + and maybe other throw ins like Blake/Troy Murphay/McRoberts/Caracter
Lakers get Howard & maybe Nelson (Odoms Trade Exception covers this)

Lakers would look like

Fisher/Nelson or Ridnour
Bryant/Kaponno
Artest/Barnes/Ebanks
Love/Beasley
Howard/Darko or Miller

Which would be HUGE. We would have lost 6th man of the year (Odom), All star PF (Gasol), and a rising center. But gained all-star Center (Howard), all-star PF (Love), and rising PF (Beasley). We get much younger and could also potentially shed about 15 million with this trade over the next 2yrs.

I dont know about you but Love,Howard,Beasley > Odom,Gasol,Bynum

Yeah, sorry but like what has been said here I don't think the Wolves would even trade Love straight up for Gasol. I don't even think they'd give up Love for Gasol & Bynum. The guy just had a 32 point 32 rebound game last season.

This just really makes me LMAO. So not only would the Wolves give up Love but they would give up Beasley too? Then the Lakers are going to get Dwight Howard?

[Pushxx]

Beasley is a natural SF not PF.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

Yeah i was thinking the exact same thing

[ConanRulesNBC]

Beasley is a natural SF not PF.

LOL. Yeah, I just noticed he has Beasley coming off the bench for Love. Beasley would absolutely start over World Peace at SF if that happened.

Here's my Bulls trade:

Heat get: Omer Asik

Bulls get: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and Joel Anthony.

Then the Bulls trade Noah/draft pick to the Magic for Dwight Howard.

Heat finally get a real Center.

Bulls:

C: Dwight Howard/Anthony
PF: Boozer/Taj Gibson
SF: Luol Deng/LeBron James
SG: Dywane Wade/Rip Hamilton
PG: Derrick Rose/CJ Watson

nice starting 5, i like Bron with the spark of the bench. they would need a better PF though. maybe boozer for griffin + bledsoe + 2nd round pick.

Oh yeah. Plus, the Nets are obviously going to lose Deron Williams so they may as well trade him to the Bulls for CJ Watson. Also, Gasol wants out of LA so the Bulls could forget getting Anthony in return and go after Gasol instead and send a 2nd round pick.

Bulls would look like:

Dwight Howard/Pau Gasol
Blake Griffin/Taj Gibson
Luol Deng/LeBron James
Dwyane Wade/Rip Hamilton
Rose/Williams/Bledsoe

[JohnnyWall]

lol @ anyone who believes Love is better than Pau Gasol.

Kevin "Whitebread" Love isn't even better than Blake Griffin.

[ConanRulesNBC]

Are you retarded?

Griffin > Love >>> Gasol.

[nathanjizzle]

yea there not trading love for pau...i dont think they would even trade love for kobe

[AMISTILLILL]

Why even make threads like this? You got lucky with Kwame for Pau... you're not getting that lucky again.

All of these trade threads always have this unspoken idea that other teams want to just gift wrap talent to the Lakers for some reason. The trades ALWAYS heavily favor LA.

[ConanRulesNBC]

It's true. Gasol has about 2 or 3 good seasons left. When has Gasol ever had a 32/32 game or 30/30 game or whatever it was? Then you talk about Griffin like he's some scrub player.
