Lakers get plenty of value for Gasol.

You wouldn't trade Lowry for Pekovic?

Oh Hell Yes Pretty Please.

Pek is a frigging scoring monster on the low block. He's a solid 280+ with more post moves than anyone except for Al Jefferson. If he could jump he would command the max. Finally we would have a center.

Kyle doesn't want any part of Houston if Goran remains and Houston doesn't want to keep Scola and Morris since we have 6 other guys who can play power forward. This works.

JJ Barea is a good commodity that other people will want, so he can be traded again come the beginning of the season if the other Dragic works out. Martell Webster has not been the same since the fall, but he's okay to keep around until we waive him if he doesn't contribute. His contract is not that expensive anyway.

Everyone gets better from the trade.

I would, but will the trade work without adding Morris?

Yes I didn't have Morris there originally and it still worked http://basketball.realgm.com/tradecheck ... de/6109829

but I figured with RWhite and TJones that MMorris was expendable but if you want to keep him I'm sure it wouldn't be a deal breaker for Minny. (He never played for Adelman anyway). I tried to have KMartin going to the TWolves too but couldn't make it work.

He had his best game last season against us where he had 30 pts, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals.

I am for this trade. Lakers may be getting a lot of value for Gasol so maybe throw in a protected pick.

I think you guys are confusing the pekovic that played against us with the pekovic that played against the rest of the league. To each his own though, you guys don't want josh smith, but you'll trade our two best players for pekovic..... lmfao....

Post #15 » by **jwise44** » Sat Jun 30, 2012 2:21 pm

I'm down for anything that gets us pekovic...even if he goes back to sucking watching him run awkwardly up the court is hilarious

He's a true Neanderthal in modern times. Just a beast of an awkward man
