Rockets offered for Pau Gasol

[Mexi]

dammit cheato
this was about Pau not CP lol

 

[elcheato]

What looks better to a new owner that could easily fire him?

A playoff team, or a team that just won it's 10th game?

A team about to clear over 26 mill in cap space with two lottery picks looks a lot better to me.

The Rockets are 3 games above .500 and have a better supporting cast around Martin and Scola than the Hornets would have had.

Yeah, too you.

I'd say the #1 overall pick is a lot more enticing to a new owner than Kevin Martin and Luis Scola.

 

[elcheato]

Is the new owner going to be someone completely oblivious to common sense?

Why is Daryl Morey so adamant about trading way too much for Pau Gasol? They need to at least pull Dragic out of the deal to make it even remotely fair. This is ridiculous. Houston gon' get raped as soon as LAL realizes how much of a deal this is.

no

id seriously rather keep pau

no

id seriously rather keep pau

Regardless of rather you want to keep him, Houston gets raped in that deal. Simple as that.

KMart + Scola + Dragic??? Why is LA not doing this? That would be a great move for them.

 

[elcheato]

Because Kevin Martin sucks and plays the same position as Kobe.

 

[DJT]

Lakers need 2 things: PG and depth.

3 if you want to add youth.

 

[Mexi]

and we can get those 2(3) things while keeping pau
lakers are trying to get beasley and sessions

dont see how scola and martin are "youth". martin is 29, scola is actually older than pau

houston doesnt get raped

dragic is expendable and a FA anyways
Pau >>> Scola who is declining
Martin is declining too, and is having his minutes decreased as the season goes on

Pau is still a top tier big man

You realize that Goran Dragic alone makes the Lakers a MUCH better team?

 

[Mexi]

and sessions wouldnt?

dragic isnt worth pau

scola and martin too? HA
there's a reason houston wants to dump them....

You don't think? We want to drop Martin, for sure, because he's lost his consistency. Scola is a great player, though.

 

[elcheato]

"great"

k. I hate that word

 

[Mexi]

pau is better than scola at literally everything

lakers arent considering this at all. good too

 

[DJT]

Scola is a good skilled big man. Good enough to replace Pau. Martin can be a spark off the bench they need. Dragic can be their PG. Thats a good trade for Pau.

And I highly doubt the Lakers get Sessions and Beasley...they can maybe get 1. They don't have enough pieces to trade to get both.

 

[elcheato]

The Lakers have two firsts. All the Cavs want from the Lakers is one first, and all the Wolves want is apparently Jamal Crawford. They'll probably send the other first to Portland.
