    Woah ESPN are bunch of freaking homers.

    I wouldn't take Pau Gasol AND Andrew Bynum for Scola and Lowry. Let alone Gasol himself plus some random filler.

    Seriously what the fack is he thinking

    Heck I'd Take Lowry's contract over the soon the decline Kobe aswell

    The ONLY likely one I could see is Melo going for Williams. That's better for the team plus, with melo's hype- they could squeeze whatever else the nets have.

    Who the **** is Darius Morris? Do Not Want Gasoft either, not for Scola + KMart, and certainly not for either of them + Lowry.

    Scola & Lowry for Pau and random guy is a silly idea. The writer just needed something to turn in for his deadline and didn't put actual thought into it.

    Yeah, ESPN is the homer...

    Gasol for Scola and Lowry is reasonable. As good as Lowry has been, he hasn't even had a full season as a starter. Given Lowry's contract, and Pau's age, I'd prefer not to make that deal, but its reasonable.

    A declining Pau Gasol who is set to make around $60 million for these next three seasons; sign me up. I love the idea of paying a player whose contract escalates while his skills drop. We all know that most players tend to get better when they hit their thirties.:grin:

    Wow, the first trade would make Clips true contenders and Orlando would have to seriously consider if they know Dwights leaving this summer.

    This is what he says right before it's his turn to stand up and say, "Hello, I'm juicystream and I'm also an idiot.

    It is amazing to me how this team overrates the talent on this team. Like I said, I wouldn't do it, but this trade isn't unreasonable. Pau Gasol has been the model of consistency for the past decade. In fact, this usually is how these deals usually go down. Team sends young up and comer for veteran star. The problem is, Gasol isn't enough to put this team over the top, at least without Lowry.
