NO: Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, #1 pick LA: Chris Paul, T-Will HOU: Pau Gasol, Metta World Peace Sure, not the greatest, but this trade works. Our lineup: Lowry/Dragic Lee/TBD World Peace/Budinger/Morris Nene(?)/Patterson Gasol/Hill/Thabeet I think we would be very competitive with that group.
Where are you getting picks from? If we are giving up one pick I guarantee we are getting either Okafor or Odom back.
Solid lineup, especially defensively, but I dont see that as a complete contender yet. I wonder if we would have any cap flexibility for next year? If not, then I would rather not sign Nene and leave hopes of signing a Howard (though a long shot).
I love this idea....keep martin.....gonna regret it watch he's gonna average the same 23.5 or more a game..dude scores with a ease....and he gets better n better.
Why, do they have some secret friendship you know about? or do you think we severely over pay for him since we went all in on gasol?
I agree but with Houston he gets a new start and not the emotional baggage of playing with Kobe smacking his head Bryant
i would not give up both martin and scola for pau. and to top it off, LA gets cp3 while they can still get dwight with bynum. its total bull$hit man!
The only thing I really don't like is that Gasol needs to be paired with another legit 7 footer. If we bust out on adding Nene, then we're ****ed. If Morey has a handshake from Nene already in place, then he's a sneaky b*stard and I love him.
I agree it's a bit much.... but there are always plans behind this......again looking at the bigger picture here More trades to come
To me, the biggest downside of this deal would be losing out on the picks. This draft is shaping up to be one of the most talent-filled pools in recent memory, and if we lose out on snagging one or two of those players, that could set us back for years and years. If we're going to get bent over on the personnel side of the deal, and at least let us acquire more PICKS.
Would adding Pau Gasol make this team any better than the middle of the pack playoff teams Gasol used to play on in Memphis?
