    Seriously, watch game tape of Gasol

    <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5aiMexVb14k?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Look how he abused Garnett in the paint and how he held his own against Dwight.

    Im more intrigued as what other moves Morey is going to make once the Gasol deal goes through. Its hard for me to analyze the trade until all the pieces of the puzzle are put together by Morey.

    Agreed. And who's the oldest player in the proposed deal? Lamar Odom
    And since the Lakers are not being asked to do anything differently, right now they are basically asking for the Hornets to get younger talent for GASOL, not Paul.
    We had a good deal with New Orleans for Gasol. Now let the Lakers sweeten their deal for Paul if Stern thinks the Hornets deserve better...

    If true, Morey's getting milked.

    Rock solid 22-yr old PF w/ fairly consistent mid-range game, strong & versatile defender, capable of finishing w/ authority above the rim. He's still working on his low-post moves, but learning under a legend like McHale could potentially work wonders for a kid w/ Pat's determination, focus, & maturity.

    I still want to trade for Gasol and I don't think we have a choice but to give up a young player to get it done, but MAN it's SO UNFAIR that we have to negotiate not only two teams but David Stern. WHAT THE F.

    Look, maybe we're just sending Parsons or someone like that. Or Twill (doubt they'd take the head case).

    I mean, if we were talking Ebanks, and now the Lakers are keeping Ebanks, if THAT is the level of dude who was gonna be included, would we really be forced to give up Patterson?

    Get this OVER WITH!!

    People don't seem to understand

    Yes, Morey can replace all these pieces

    But can he do it fast enough?

    Pau Gasol is 31 years old, and on top of that, only has three years left on his contract

    We need to contend now for this deal to be worth it.

    If we have no supporting cast for Gasol and Nene, it's a stupid trade.

    Are you not overreacting slightly??
    Gasol played great in the playoffs not mentioning last year.
    His style of play is ugly yet effective.

    #Orlando #Magic GM Otis Smith tells @OrlandoSentinel that Dwight Howard has requested a trade: ht.ly/7Vl9D

    Let`s quit this whole Gasol crazyness and bet our cards on Howard. He seems like a guy we might be able to get to sign an extension... and we have the pieces to make a trade work. Bet on him.

    Don't see how any Rockets fans can defend this trade if it's true that we are also trading Patterson.

    So you are worried about Gasol and everyone is scared at the thought of Kobe, Paul and Howard?
    Kobe is what like 34?
    Nobody said he's going to last 1 or 2 more years.

    Patterson won't be in it, unless there is a major restructuring of the alleged deal.
