UPDATE: Suns Leave Trade Talks for Gasol

[Mexi]

Its still a good trade

Now, if they could get thad young, do it
But this is an ok trade. Pau isnt going to get a huge deal and they could still trade guys. Their whole roster is movable

The Phoenix Suns have stopped talks to acquire Pau Gasol because they feel the Lakers want too much for the veteran post player, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Phoenix could own four picks in the June draft, and the Lakers coveted one of the more valuable two -- the pick the Suns could potentially get from Minnesota or the one they might receive from Washington.

Lakers are dumb
No need to keep pau
Tix are sold no matter what, they suck, he's a free agent and could come back

Take the pick. Dont even worry about money saved, just get an asset so you dont have to keep xavier henry or wes johnson

Woj went on radio, said he thinks it's "doubtful" Pau gets traded, because he doesn't see anyone giving up a first round pick for him.

Some dumbass team will give the Lakers what they want because Lakers.

I don't think so. Not if a team wouldn't before.

The Lakers had a chance to save a boat load of money with the Bynum deal. Nothing better is going to come up.

 

[Mexi]

they dont care about the money
 
this phoenix trade was better than the cavs one
 
lakers are stupid and arrogant. I understand Pau still is a great player, but if you can get another pick in this draft, do it. lakers have a good scouting department. always find decent pieces in the 2nd round. take a chance on a mid to late first
 
but nooooooooo

 

[elcheato]

I trust Woj when he said no one will give a first for Pau, meaning the Suns wont.

 

[Mexi]

no one else will because no one has multiple picks
 
suns would've done emeka and probably their own pick or the pacers pick because the wizards and wolves are likely to be better picks
