We are officially under one week away from the Trade Deadline (March 15).

Antony Randolph for an expiring and future top 60 protected pick. Woohoo, let's go!

Watch us trade away Beasley for nothing who then becomes a 25+ ppg scorer.

Kind of like many thought the Al trade would end up...

Wouldn't surprise me at all. It would shock me if he did that for a winning basketball team though.

Rumor is that Pau has been traded...that would give us a huge chance to break our 17 game losing streak tonight.

I think rumor is that they have made the decision to trade him. In other words, they're shopping him for deals, and will eventually take the best offer out there.

This could throw an interesting wrinkle into the game tonight.

I think Foye is right, I think the rumor is that he's actually been dealt. For those who have Twitter the rumor has come from Roland Lazenby, who apparently is good friends with Buss and Mitch from the Lakers FO. We'll find out soon enough what the facts are though.

I'm a dreamer, so my personal ilussion is to see Kevin Garnett with Minnesota again. If that doesn't come, see Pau Gasol with us would be nice, he is such a nice guy and would fix perfectly in the team, sure. But JJ Reddick would be my favorite option. He is the man we need, in my opinion.

Ugh. I really, really disliked Kevin Garnett as a person. Made that era really hard to watch.

Was glad when he was traded, could finally watch Minnesota basketball again.

Heres what the tweet said

Roland Lazenby ‏ @lazenby
It seems we'll soon be getting news that Gasol has been traded. No details confirmed, but he's apparently gone.

Too much bad blood between Taylor and KG I think. I can't imagine that would be patched up.

Pau Gasol at 8-9 million a year and/or 5 years younger would fit perfectly with the team. Pau Gasol at his current age and salary, however, is a terrible fit.

No to Gasol. I like what we have so far with Pekovic/Love. Williams has been improving as of late and will only get better. I'd move him for a young SG/SF piece that has similar value but not for Gasol.

LordBaldric · Post #16 » by **LordBaldric** » Fri Mar 9, 2012 9:50 pm

Wow @ Gasol trade. I hope it's not to us unless he's traded to a 3rd team immediately.

Ambrosius · Post #17 » by **Ambrosius** » Fri Mar 9, 2012 9:51 pm

Well, I've readed some wuotes from KG and... well, I prefer the way he is than the hypocrisy I'm use to in Spain.

I think Gasol's age is not that important. He's in his plenitude, in the way Drik Nowitzli is, and he can give us a great level and lots of experience. He can give us the definitive step to be a PO team, without any doubt.

BUT, I expect a last move, one who move him really far from Minny.

Please let the Pau trade rumors be true. They should put him on the inactive list tonight, just to make sure. :pray:

InjuryProne · Post #19 » by **InjuryProne** » Fri Mar 9, 2012 10:18 pm

I really like Pau, he is a good guy ... Chemistry not a problem, huge overpaid? Yes he kille the cap but wolves are a PO team for sure

Rubio
Wes
DW
KL
Gasol/Pek

If wolves dont trade pek or derrick i'm all in

Rumors that Pau has been traded already but no other details.... Lol, Internets are goofy sometimes.
