Not that bad, but I don't think Cuban would let Dirk walk.

How does Pau net the Lakers Dirk? Is his injury forcing him to retire or something?

None of us though Sarver would trade Nash to us but it happend...and they didnt get a player like Cousins in return

Simple no from the Boston side. Four players (especially Bradley and Sullinger) and a first rounder for Gasol? Thanks but no thanks, i'd rather cut out SAC and LAL, give the players and the pick to Dallas for Dirk.

Absolutely terrible for Boston, they give up a first as well? LoL. Gasol's trade value is prolly less than Sullingers alone at this point given contract and ability. No way this puts Boston back in contention to beat the Heat. No deal.

AS much as Dirk would be a very nice star to add to our core, he wouldn't help 1 bit defensively.

Kings decline as well. We don't want Boston scraps.

I think Gasol and a future 1st for Nowitzki is fair enough for both teams.

Gasol gets out of LA, Cuban lets Nowitzki go on one last run, reuniting him and Nash.
Also, Nowitzki in D'Antoni's system fits a helluva lot better than Gasol. He can hit the 3 and stretch the floor.

Simply laughable for Boston and Sacramento. Not terrible for Dallas, although I'm 99.999% sure Dirk's going nowhere. Predictably, way too good for the Lakers.

So Gasol + bench scraps (Ebanks, Duhon, Morris) gets Dirk and Marion? I dont see that happening. BOS and SAC are getting screwed here.

Why in the Hell would Dallas gift Dirk to La just to gain $3 million in cap space?

First Dirk will never be traded !!! But if he was it would be to totally erase his salary or to get a good young player and picks. It does nothing for Dallas to DOWNGRADE to Gasol while still owing him almost the same salary.

Boston is getting used here.

They could easily cut out the Lakers and take Dirk themselves, or take Cousins.

Obviously LAL get cut out of that scenario. Boston would rather have Dirk, and Dallas would prefer not to make the Marion/Duhon swap.

Sacramento doesn't take the pu-pu platter for Cousins though, and without DMC (or some other high-value long-term piece), Dallas isn't eating Green's contract in a Dirk trade.

You've lost me here. Boston gets a sweetheart deal. they trade in scaps for a legit starting pf that would instantly put Boston back in the hunt.

There is no way that the kings take a cap offer like that.

If Cousins could be had for Bradley + Sullinger + late 1st + trash, why wouldn't the Celtics just make the trade for him directly?

Lakers have no future picks to hive for a long long time.

That part made my day. Sweatheart deal you call it? Let's do the deal for the Kings. How about Salmons, Thornton, Robinson and Thomas plus future first round pick for Gasol? Two bad contracts plus two young guys and a pick, looks great doesn't it.

Stop hating the Celtic deals just because there was a trade rumour for DMC, we get it you won't sell him for cheap. But be realistic here four players and a first round pick for Gasol is a sweatheart deal? Are you serious?

^^Boston isn't including any pieces with as much value as Robinson and Thornton.

Given the current levels of play and long term how much money is on their deals, I would say Sullinger has at least the same amount of value as Robinson does.
