There's noway we're simply gonna get rid of all our bad contracts in one foul swoop. The other team has to agree to a trade too.

So a 17/10/4 guy who shoots 50% from field and who can play PF or C sucks in your eyes. Got it.

The other two things I can agree with and could be apart of the deal or even BBD.

He's not an "All-Star", as you labeled him. He was not on the All-Star team, nor is he getting any better.

I'm just hoping we send Dwight to the Rockets for their young pieces and just have a fun tank season watching young players play. Then we could go after a young big in the next draft which there are a few good ones in that draft.

LMAO!

Yes he has been an allstar. 3 out of the last 4 years to be exact. He didn't make the team last season, but the his stats didn't completely fall down either, unless you consider a few percentage points to be catastrophic.

You do realize "former all-star" and "all-star" are two different things right?........... "All-star" is a literal meaning, as in "on the All-Star team"

@arsenal6106: Kind of a picky thing lol, but I forgot to put a "space" between XXIX and MagicTownBaller in the tags. Sorry about that. If you want to go ahead and fix it please, I appreciate man... and yes,... I'm completely OCD now

Yes I do understand, but the way you are talking about him is that he made an allstar team once in his life, years ago and now he is just pathetic. Far from the case since he was on the allstar team from 2009-2011. He didn't make it last year, but his stats didn't completely fall of the planet either and if not for the Lakers slow start, would have probably made it again. You put him on team where he is still a big focal point of the offense and the guy will give you 20/10 a game easily over the next 2 years.

Hell even with Bynum putting up big numbers this year and taking a lot of the offense away from Gasol, he still had a 17/10/4 50% statline.

Reporters and commentators use the term All - Star all the time when referring to former all stars. I can't believe you are arguing this...

Why can't BBD be our starting center? He played really well in the playoffs against one of the top centers in the league.

Yeah I don't wish injury on him either. I just don't want him to win anything where ever he goes and that is pretty much it.

This. I hope he makes a solid recovery. Why wish for him to be injured?

Look what happened to Tmac and Penny... dont mess with us, D12

Gasol is an all-star... but I think NoLimit might be referring to his age/mileage more than anything... he will be 32 in 5 days... his prime has ended.

Sure he can probably still put up 17-20ppg and grab rebounds around his normal average for a few more years... but at some point the decline will occur, and that's not worth the headache and frustration... father time is undefeated... And Gasol doesn't look like the type of guy who can keep up the high level of play player like KG, Duncan, Nash, Kobe, Pierce, and other former "all-stars" in their mid 30s have done, because those players stay in great condition/shape for the most part, and they changed their game up.

I can still see Pau avg 14/8 & 16/9 when he's 35-37 years old.

I want a raise! :evil:

I fixed it, but the length of MTB's name is creating the extra line break. Maybe change "magictownballer" to "MTB" if that extra line break bothers you?
