Ersan trade eligibility on January 15th

[htr]

With Utah, I really want to get Burks. I don't see how we can't make a deal work that involves him. He's not being used much.

From said Mitch Lawrence column:

Despite chief basketball man Jim Buss saying he’s not going to blow up the Lakers, give them another five weeks, when the trading deadline arrives on Feb. 21. Pau Gasol is the leading candidate to leave, with Toronto still a top destination. The Raptors like Gasol but are trying to figure out how to entice L.A. . .

I'd rather take Pau in direct personally. But route Ross or Lowry here would be fine also. We could help facilitate this.

Ersan - Daly - Gooden for Gasol

Ersan - Daly for Gasol

Ersan - Daly - Udoh for Gasol

All 3 of those trades work in the trade checker and I would do any one of those. I'd prefer to keep Beno, but if LA insists on him I would trade him and take back Duhon or Meeks.

Some lakers fans actually like the 1st one.

Where are they saying that?

Yeah, I'd do that first one and pop the champagne cork afterwards.

Love this when the body doesn't really agree with the headline.

I'm surprised we don't have more of a thread based upon Stein's statement alone. Maybe a Packer hangover.

Not sure I understand what is going on in LA. They say Dwight has a torn labrum but then he plays tonight and apparently plays well. Lakers beat down Cleveland.

You have to think they will deal Gasol.

Ellis & Ersan for Gasol
or
Ellis Ersan Gooden for Gasol & Duhon

then
Dalembert to ATL for Korver

I believe the actual ESPN part of this has actually shown up in a thread already. I know I saw the not trading Jennings part somewhere.

As for Ersan, I'd maybe hang tight for the season and then assess. He actually has slowly been improving his #'s and is getting closer to his career norms. He's shooting around 38% from 3PT land, and 50% in his last 10 games. His TS% is up to around 49%, which is only 3% under this career norm. His FG% for the season is still really low at 40%, but in the last 10 games is around 47%. His rebounding is around his career norms. It just seems like he may be coming around again. I think his start was so awful we got paranoid. I'm willing to ride it out a little bit longer.

Not questioning whether Ers' numbers are close to career norms but is that the production you want for 8m per? With Henson emerging is he expendable? I wasn't in favour of the signing anyway sothat might be behind my wish to trade him.

[mlloyd10]

Ellis for Jefferson
Udoh/filler for Mayo
Ilyasova/Daly/Gooden for Gasol

Jennings/Udrih
Mayo/Dunleavy
Luc/Dunleavy
Gasol/Henson
Sanders/Jefferson

BAM

Plus only 31M in Guarantee contracts after the season

[paulpressey25]

Udoh/filler for Mayo
I

This is the one where you are off considerably on trade values.

Mayo is averaging basically 18/4/4 on a 58% TS. And Cuban has the cap space and money to keep Mayo this offseason if he wants to.

It would take someone like Henson to get his attention for Mayo. Maybe he'd take Monta but only if he thought Monta could draw in Dwight. But I'd have to think Dwight and Paul would much rather play with Mayo than Monta.
