If we were to trade Lowry + Scola for Gasol would Martin + young big of their choice + NY 1st be enough to grab Rondo? Honestly, the only way I could stomach the loss of Lowry barring a trade for a real superstar.
Trade #1 Houston uses Chicago's need for a shooting guard and need to escape from Boozers contract while providing a slightly less talented PF to secure thier misc. pieces to send to Orlando for added value to nab Dwight. To Chicago Samuel Dalembert Luis Scola Kevin Martin To Orlando Luol Deng Omer Asik Taj Gibson Marcus Morris Donteas Montejounas Bobcats Pick (via Chicago) 2012 NY #1 (via Houston) To Houston Dwight Howard Carlos Boozer Trade #2 Houston uses Portlands need for a PG to nab Wallace, who is conflicting with Batum. They also take back Felton who is public enemy #1 in Rip City To Houston Gerald Wallace Raymond Felton To Portland Goran Dragic Hasheem Thabeet Chase Budinger Johnny Flynn New Lineup: Houston creates a team that can not only win this year, but could easily entice Dwight to sign on long term. Offers Dwight a nightmarish defensive team with him as the alpha dog, and the chance to play alongside his friends Boozer and Lee. Lowry / Felton Lee / Williams Wallace / Parsons Boozer / Patterson Howard / Hill
If you think LA would accept Scola, Williams and Flynn for Gasol you probably aren't in any position to hurl that accusation around. Mind you, I'm not in favor of including Lowry in a Gasol trade either. But I'm also aware there's exactly zero possible other packages we can offer them that get us Gasol without involving a third team.
Thats a realistic trade request from the Rockets stand point. Logically speaking thats what I vision the rockets offering nothing more nothing less. ill reiterate, if your on the Kyle Lowry for Gasol trade. you need to Alt f4 your life
He just said that he's not in favor of Lowry for Gasol! You're well on your way to rookie status, brohan.
That's an awful lot to give up for Bynum, who gets injured a lot and is being paid $15-16M and is only under contract through next season.
Houston Sends: Luis Scola, Kyle Lowry to Lakers Houston Gets: Pau Gasol Houston Sends: Kevin Martin,Haseem Thabeet,Jordan Hill to NO. Houston Gets: Chris Kaman,Eric Gordon Rest of the Season Lineup Dragic/Flynn Gordon/Lee Parsons/Budinger/Williams/Morris Gasol/Patterson Kaman/Dalembert/Smith Solid team on paper only needed part is to improve the three postion,unless Williams breakout. Next year get back Kaman,Gordon,Dragic,Williams. And Bring Over D-Mo and Sergio Lllull Lineup Next Year Llull/Dragic Gordon/Lee Williams/Parsons/Budinger/Morris Gasol/Patterson Kaman/Dalembert/D-Mo thats all if D-Mo and Llull can come over next year. im thinking Morey wants to bring Llull over since it seems like hes ready to play after winning the MVP in the Copa de Rey. Would makes since on why hes trading Lowry
Ohhhhh...okay, so we're only judging trades on whether the ROCKETS would do them! Okay, cool, I've got one then! http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7pkwmg8 No way Morey says no, right? Spoiler
i LOL'D. Thats what rockets are going to offer. Its a good trade for a aging PF. Flynn, Scola, and TWill are legit players. Twill could have a blow out year for LA. Flynn the same. Scola will always be slow, but hes crafty. Lakers do not lose with Scola Flynn (hey, you can switch dragic i dont care) twill for Gasol
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=77wdgvo Gasol from LA to HOU Wes Johnson from MIN to HOU McROBERTS from LA to MIN Martin from HOU to MIN Scola from HOU to LA Dragic from HOU to LA Beasley from MIN to LA picks should be added ...
