budinger is out the whole season isnt he? plus i think the wolves really like him going forward.

kirilenko/barea/roy's soon to be expiring for pau/morris or ebanks or DJO

fixed and agree

srsly some depth will do it, our core of nash/kobe/d12 is enough starpower

Artest has the foot speed of a PF now. Kobe has the speed of a small forward. They need more scoring and speed on the perimeter. They are going to trade Gasol for Speed and shooting on the perimeter. Move Artest to PF and Kobe to SF. I could see something like

Pau Gasol for

Ben Gordon
Gerald Henderson
Byron Mullens

obviously, we're not going to get this, but what'd ya think?

mjba, change the title to just "Pau trade ideas" or soemthing, its basically come down to that after the game.


anyway, like i posted over in the GT, i don't see any reason why the lakers would be able to get that offer, way too good for LA.

I just posted that I think Artest moves to PF. Kobe moves to SF. They use Gasol to add scoring to the bench and athleticism and speed to the perimeter. I could see something like Gasol to the Bobcats for Ben Gordon, Gerald Henderson, and Mullens. The cats get a legitimate scoring big that can go back to being a number 1 option. The Lakers get Ben Gordon who could start or come off the bench. Henderson can play both SG and SF. Mullens gives you a shooting big man and a back up for Howard.

agree with everything in your post about the lakers direction, just don't like the trade idea. MWP is def. slow for a SF now, but at PF he's decent.

dude, personally, i would fly over form Australia if i thought i could help make that trade, but we're just not getting that kind of 'value' (lol @ that notion for those guys) for Pau at this point.

and we can't really showcase him right now because we are right in the middle of the meaty part of our schedule. AND we can;t win when he's on the floor, IMO, so we are pretty much fugged

Jack/Landry for Gasol/Blake


Nice dream

At this point I'd take Bass/Barbosa

Minnesota wouldnt do that

They want to pack Roy expiring, Barea, Pekovic and DWill for Gasol and a shooter, probably in a 3 way trade.

So you need to find a team that get Roy, Barea and Pekovic and give a swingman to the Lakers, plus Williams.

Thats a realistic one.

Kirilenko no.

what about an expiring guy like Milsap (probably another pipe, but just for e.g.)? see how he pans out til the end of the year and just eat it if he wants more than we can offer - which Milsap, specifically, will.

edit: also not a great fit, but i'm just throwing ideas out there...

u have the wolves valuing kirilenko more than the value pek? or even pek + dwill?

would love millsap, but i think the jazz want more long term assets at other positions. don't think they want a 20mil aging player getting in the way of favors/kanter developing. they could just keep millsap to block the way and be much cheaper and better.

Eeee why they would want Gasol, Pek and Love?

Pek is a RFA, my bet is that they dont want to give him 10-12 so... they'd find a guy for 2 years in Pau, and avoid the issue one more year.

Kirilenko is better than Pekovic, worse upside obviously, but a main key in defense and offensive flow.

They want Roy, Barea or Ridnour, Williams and Pekovic out, and get a Center in a reasonable deal (Vareajao, Gortat, Gasol) and a shooter.

I like Milsap but why would Utah trade a PF for another PF/C. Seems like if Milsap is gone its to make room for Favors and Kanter.

i don't know. iirc, al jef also expires this year. pau would be a great role model for the younger, skill guys. maybe for kanter cus he's euro, ha.

ahhhhh. who am i kidding? you're right. fugg

Michael Beasley ASAP!!! We don't want Pau, they don't Mike. Don't care if they're in the division.

Gasol/Meeks for Wallace/Humphries/Brooks?

Kobe/Dwight/Nash is enough scoring we just need some guys to bring energy and play defense.Brooks would be a nice backup to Kobe.

Nash
Kobe
Wallace
Hill
D12

Wallace is all heart and hustle aka Crash
