Would you give up the #14 and #16 picks of this draft to land Pau Gasol?

Well, it's not as simple as trading two picks for Gasol, straight up.

We'll either have to include Lowry or Scola along with those picks.

So no, I wouldn't, personally.

 

Oh HELL to the NO

 

Gasol's salary and age would be the main issue. He will be paid higher than LeBron or Wade. Being 31 doesn't help as well.

 

as much as i hate to get gasol, if it's only for the 14th and 16th picks i would do it. if we have to add lowry/scola with the picks then hell no

 

With that said, i voted yes.

 

Hell no.

 

Wouldn't we have to? Because of salary?

 

Who at 14 or 16 is better than Gasol? Rather have Gasol than two more Marcus Morris or Patrick Patterson types.

 

Their contracts will be better. I'm only down if it helps us get Dwight or Deron.

Would you trade George and Faried for Pau?

 

everyone's athleticism is better than Gasol.... once his corpse is starting to fall apart his finesse game can suck it

This.

 

Gasol does not fit under the Rockets salary cap. Also it is a convenient place to dump Scola's contract - $31 million over the next 3 years. He basically is not tradeable unless it is for a huge contract like Howard's or Gasol's. Lowry on the other hand has huge value because his contract is so reasonable.

 

there are people who wouldn't trade picks 14 & 16 for pau?

wtf

 

the trade morey had going last year? yes i would have done it.

but now?

gasol is a year older and one more year less confident due to his being bounced from the payoffs again. big men start to decline quickly after 30.

im glad we have dragic and lowry. use either of them to get us another building piece.

gasol would help us next year and, best case scenario, the year after... (maybe)

but really he is not the person the rockets should go all-in for. keep the picks and let morey do his thang. he's drafted fairly well.

 

Like you tell others, just your unsupported opinion.

If the Rockets want to get rid of him and if he's untradeable as you claim, well they can always amnesty him.

 

I don't want that big softie on our team.

 

No. this is actually a really bad poll because it's not based on reality. trading #14 & #16 for Gasol could not possibly happen. But even if we included filler salary to make it happen, i'd still be against it. We ought not be trading our assets away for a declining player on the wrong side of 30, who will be making close to $20 mil next year. What's the point? We'd still be a 500 team; only with less assets.

 

We need to get rid of players. We have too many mediocre bodies and need to consolidate.

The package starts with Scola and two other players. Hell they can have Budinger too.
