Would you do this deal?

If not what needs to change?

Bulls

Trade-Boozer/2013 1st
Recieve-Kevin Martin/Epke Udoh

Reason-Get rid of Boozers contract, bring in a quality 2 and Big

Bucks

Trade-Ellis/Udoh/Illyasova/Moute

Recieve-Boozer/J Lamb/Ebanks/Tor 1st(OKC)

Reason-Young team dropping talent, taking on Boozer all in efforts for more picks

Lakers

Trade-Gasol/Meeks/Ebanks

Recieve-Ellis/Illyasova/Perkins

Reason-Move Gasol and his large contract for more role players to take minutes off the starting lineup. Illyasova starts and is a compliment to Dwight. Ellis takes 30 mpg off the bench from Kobe/Nash and keeps them fresh. Perkins is a great 2nd big.

Thunder

Trade-Martin/Perkins/Lamb/Tor 1st
Recieve-Gasol/Moute/Meeks/Chi 1st

Reason-Give up Youth to get a legit scoring center on the block. Toronto pick is key in getting Bucks involved. If dunleavy needs to be sent that way to make this work fine. Moute is the best on ball defender in the league. And is obviouly in this trade to wear down lebron in a 7 game series.

Meeks is decent but it leaves a pretty big hole at sg with both Lamb, and Martin leaving. Plus they are giviing up a top 4-10pick.

And Gasol makes 19mil.

I just don't see it happening.

I can see Gasol making contributions, but his salary is brutal. Take out either of Lamb or Tor 1st and I think I'd do this deal, specially because we get rid of Perkins, and if Gasol underwhelms for the Thunder, he becomes a huge expiring next season. That would put pressure on youngsters to keep our bench play good, this is not the Thunder's politic, but I don't hate this trade.


That'd make us look like this next season.
Westbrook / Reggie
Sefolosha / Lamb / Meeks
Durant / Liggins
Ibaka / Moute / Jones
Gasol / Collison / Thabeet.

There is no reason trade for the 19 million on Gasol's contract and throw them 15 million over the cap. He does not work. In this deal the Thunder trade away their 3rd scorer and their 3rd scorer of the future. SMH Plus the center of their defense. They are basically trading two firsts for Gasol **** contract and a 2nd. NO THANK YOU!

To fix the trade no Gasol, No Martin, and No Lamb. Who am i kidding. There is no fixing this deal. Sorry. The Thunder need to stay around $70 million on the cap. They are @ 66 million for 10 players w/o Maynor's contract on the books. Then they have draft picks. I wouldlook for the Thunder to stay right where they are. Maybe a small deal like Maynor to a team like the C's.
