Let's not forget Bynum was being trained by Freddy Roach who trains Manny Pacquiao... so one solid punch from Bynum and Beasley will be 1, 2 ,3 ,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... your out! KNOCKOUT! LOL!

No link, but dudes on the Wolves board said Bucher is reporting that the offer is in fact both Williams and Love for Gasol.

Kahn isn't really the brightest Gm, and when he likes a player he kinda goes all out for him regardless of logic...look at the whole pg issue...multiple times (drafting Rubio, then Flynn, then Rubio finally comes, and he signs Barea) but some of their fans think that with a possibility of K-Love leaving then it would be a good trade. Kind of suprising how some of them liked the idea.

Derrick Williams AND Kevin Love for Pau?

What a way to redeem yourself Mitch...if you can actually pull it off.

Bynum would handle Beasley

Easily but Beasley might be one of the only guys crazy enough to try and pick a fight with Drew.

wow, Williams and Love for Gasol would be a steal no doubt. I can't see any "BASKETBALL REASONS" or "LEGAL REASONS" that will block that.

if Rubio does really want to play with Pau and Barea and Flynn perform better than Rubio, are you willing to give up Morris for Rubio? for whatever reason?

Yeah that's the one I was talking about. It was said that discussions were "light" but were definitely being had. What a great haul we'd get in return, but I can't see Minnesota overpaying to that extent for Pau no matter how much Rubio wants him there.

So we're about to rape Minnesota?

Jetset · Post #683 » by **Jetset** » Sat Dec 17, 2011 2:01 pm

lol. But If we're trying to move Gasol outside of a deal that involves him going to Orlando, then a deal with Minnesota does make the most sense and we stand to get more out of them than any other team.

Also lol@ the Kobe trade rumors. Honestly, I'm not that worried if he wants to demand a trade. Nobody can exchange 30+ million in salary to take him and still remain competitive (as well as satisfy laker management demands). Even if the impossible did happen and he got traded, we could then find a way to seriously clear cap and then go after Dwill and/or Dwight next summer.

Really, Kobe is ****. And it's coming from multiple fronts right now.

I'm still not getting the vibe that Kobe is pissed and wants out.

I think he's giving everything a chance... And I think Mitch shared his plans with him.
He's just waiting to see what happens.
I do kinda get the feeling he's not sold on the coaching situation though. But I don't think it's a "demands a trade" situation.

He's probably just upset about his personal life more than anything...

Imagine if the Lakers traded Pau for Kevin Love and Derrick Williams. That's a young core with Bynum to take over once Kobe's done.

Andrew Bynum - 24 years old
Kevin Love - 23 years old
Derrick Williams - 20 years old
Kobe - 33 years old

Doormatt · Post #687 » by **Doormatt** » Sat Dec 17, 2011 4:26 pm

Why not just trade kobe for expirings and say **** it, let's just go all out rebuild mode? There's some pretty nice free agents next year too, and that 2012 draft is lookin mighty sexy. Everyone just imagine an alternate world where this is our lineup.

Deron Williams
Jeremy Lamb
Derrick Williams
Kevin Love
Dwight Howard

Just close your eyes. Go ahead. Just think about it. And it's not an impossible dream.

It's just Screaming A. Smith and his "I've known Kobe for 13 yrs, he going to demand a trade" bs.

It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine because Williams and Bynum would surely be flipped for Howard.

If Kahn pulls this deal off, he's going down as the greatest villain in minnesota history since Tom Shevlin got arrested for violating the 10mph speed limit in 1902.

Post #690 » by **Kilroy** » Sat Dec 17, 2011 5:05 pm

I'm guessing Kahn called us to judge our interest in trading Pau and WE asked for Love and Williams... I doubt it's what Kahn wanted to give... That's probably why the talks are 'Light'... Which I'm sure is a euphemism for 'dead.'

Kevin Love and Dwight Howard would make a nice FC. The odds of this happening are slim, but it brings happy thoughts to my dome.

Rick Bucher really tells it like it ain't.

Bucher.

Now normally I don't take Bucher seriously in anything he says and probably wouldn't have changed the thread title but it's already known that we're trying our hardest to move Gasol, so I do believe that we had discussions. But it's probably far from happening.
