Kiszla: Feel free to picture Pau Gasol in a Nuggets uniform

My only fear about Love is that he may be turning into Howard 2.0... He's got a lot of gripes for a player with a lot of good pieces around him.

[MAMBAEMD]

I'm actually kind of surprised and a bit dissapointed about how much he has been chirping up there in Minny.
I think he just wants out and is very frustrated.
I wish he would just shut up, play hard, and wait his time for free agency.
Skills wise, he is unique. It's rare to find a big who can consistently knock down the long range shot, and be able to reound like a beast the way he does.
I'm also impressed with his work in the off-season on his post game, which he will need to develop, and still needs a lot of work.

Maybe TPE to Boston for Rondo, Rondo to LA and Pau to Denver... I think with Rondo soon to be a FA, he might have some leverage over where he plays.

Now that would be interesting! I'd love to see Rondo with the Lakers. Man, can you imagine Kobe playing with Rondo... that's as intense as you get!

So Boston is basically just going to trade Rondo for nothing but a TPE that they won't likely use cause they are rebuilding?

No team has ever traded for anyone when they were rebuilding?

EDIT: Wha!?!

That said, no... I don't think they would.

I think they might trade him for picks and expirings or use him to move up in the draft.

I don't think I want Rondo in LA anymore.

Say that **** with conviction player. I sure as hell don't want rondo on my team if I have any hopes on my team winning the chip

i started that bandwagon a long time ago

[TyCobb]

For me it only made sense to get Rondo if we kept Dwight.

[stunnar0b]

Nice two players that can't shoot ft's

[TyCobb]

Yeah, I'd rather go all in on defense and sacrifice FT%. Plus, that dude Kobe closing it out.

The only Pau deal that seemed to have some momentum was with the Cavs for the TPE ($10 million), Varejo & picks prior to the Cavs signing Bynum... Varejo makes $9.1 million this year and there is a player option next year... I wasn't ecstatic about the deal but thought it was realistic if we kept Howard... I personally think Nash & Pau will have BIG years... Nash will get 14.5 points & 8.5 assists... Pau will get 18 points, 9.5 boards & 4 assists...
