Gasol wants out of LA and would like trade to Bulls

[Gek]

Noah/Deng would be nice. The Bulls need someone to help Rose desperately so his body can take the load. He was just doing too much before.

Skewb you made it sound like Deng is like 30+ yrs old the guys 27 thats all im trying to say.

I'll buy you a beer man. Thanks for understanding. You are technically correct, yes.

[Mr 24 eight]

Chi gets Pau Gasol
LAL gets Luol Deng, Joakim Noah

Por gets Andrew Bynum
LAL gets Lamarcus Aldridge

Bring Deng and Sessions off the bench because we desperately need scoring when Kobe sits. I also believe Sessions' ability is wasted when he is the fourth option on the floor. Let Blake pass the ball and spot up. Bring Deng off the bench to be our 6th man and have him and Ramon run the show when Kobe sits.

Open to critcism/thoughs..

I will not criticize this at all. Some people on the board could be better off holding NBA front office jobs than current front office job holders

I am 99.9% sure the bulls wont give us deng and noah for gasol. im coo with deng and gibson though

[KingLakers]

Mr. 24 eight the Lakers aren't going to bring in Deng who's making like 12m a yr to come off the bench it just doesn't make sense. I agree with Stunnar Deng and Noah will be to much for the Bulls the best deal is probably the one I put up with Deng, Taj, and Hamilton.

[Mr 24 eight]

Ya I still want him playing 30 minutes per.. just use him like Ginobili/Terry/Harden/etc. to make sure he gets more touches when he is in the game.

I try to be realistic when we do trade talk, that was probably a bit of a reach though.

IMO you always have to try to get more value than you can get to begin with, to end up somewhere decent. If you start to low, you're gonna end up lower.

‘My position is still the same,’ Gasol said. ‘I still would love to be a part of the Lakers and continue to be here to help the team win more championships as soon as possible. It’s out of my control and it’s out of my hands, no matter what.’ [Mitch] Kupchak offered no assurances to Gasol and reporters at last week’s exit interview that Gasol will remain with the Lakers, and suggested the team might use his him as their main trading chip. [...] ‘I don’t know where that came from,’ Gasol said. ‘It’s pointless to really worry about it. I’m totally cool with it, whatever they say. The stories will appear and then disappear on something that does or doesn’t happen again. It sucks to be in that position, but it is what it is.’

lock it up.

[dockingsched]

lock it up!

[laduane1]

Maybe this will start a bidding war and another team will step up and offer a better deal.

[crazy8ights]

A Deng/Watson/Gibson package works, but I know we can get more value.

really?! from where?

[Mamba Venom]

It is a post LeBron/D-12 world. If you promise to stay and bring home a chip -> you will leave. If you promise to leave if no moves are made -> you will stay. If you openly shut down a rumor and cite bad sources -> the rumor is true.

Man I miss the last generation of NBA stars.
