Minni is not trading Love, cmon. Why in the world would they give up D Will, Love, Ridnour, and Barea for just Pau and Jose lol (unless they want to start recreating the Spanish team).

If Lakers really do not want Bargnani, then maybe a Jose, Kleiza, and Ross or Ed Davis to LA for Pau Gasol and Ebanks to Minni, and we get D Williams, Barea, and whatever filler to make it work.

If there is not a good trade out there then you do one of two things:
-Bench him - try him as 6th man, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. At least he plays less minutes.
-Do a trade for any shorter contract, or 2 shorter contracts regardless of talent. Then try to trade those guys for any shorter contract so you only have 1 year to ride out instead of 3. You can even buy them out at that point and be done with it. This is what I proposed for Hedon'ts toxic deal but luckily he ate a year to get out.

No point trying to force a bad trade with LAL just because no one else is biting right now. We should not have to throw in more assets beyond Bargs and Jose to get Pau's shorter contract.

With Howard all but saying he's not signing with the Lakers when his contract expires, I think any chance of the Lakers wanting Bargs has officially gone out the window as they would be left with no center. They're probably better off keeping Gasol if they can't find a decent center in a trade as, barring some kind of miracle, Howard is clearly leaving. Man, you think the Raps have it bad, at least we're not the Lakers!!!

I think Minny is the best option for Bargs cause Williams and Love both seem unhappy and we all know how much Khan loves his Euros. They may want both Calderon and Bargs.

Lowry for Millsap?

Millsap-Jonas in the frontcourt sounds good.

have this feeling that we get Milsap.
what are other possible trades for him ?

[ash_k]

Raps need Alex Anthopoulos !
Now that's my type of GM! not afraid of blockbuster trades!

I think trading Andrea for Jamison and Blake/1st would be interesting.

Cmon, It would not.

Jamison 36 y old
Steve Blake 32
and the 1st round would be in the 20 something.
Cmon

Would you send Bargnani to OKC for our draft pick back

[HSOB SIRHC]

How about Houston doesn't have our pick anymore. OKC does.

[why22]

We would need OKC's permission first. They'd be pissed otherwise.
