So, who is taking the leak? LAL? Rox? Both? Neither? BTW - - Gasol will cost Houston just what without Lowry? Thus, if Gasol then what could/would be next? (Because we know, we just know,m that Pau = precursor to 2nd deal...)
I agree with this analysis. Not so much that they;d worry about making us better. They'd also be trading with the Lakers, as would we... clearly each GM would be making the deal in the best interest of their team. But the fact that they have been so strongly rumored to be after him. Both the Rockets and T-Wolves are strongly rumored to be after Gasol, but in the end one really wasn't and was instead after Pekovich? Not that I'd be opposed to Pekovich, but seems unlikely.
If Minnie wants to avoid p/o competition then they need to drop out of any West trade discussion. How far off is Sac? Closer than Phx IMHO, just as an example. If K-Mart is the Minnie lust then they need to come thru on a deal. Just sayin'...
Is Houston still going after Pau Gasol? I need to see most recent twitter to prove that Houston is still in it? Thanks.
Would LA take Scola/Besley/Dragic/NY pick for Pau? If so, send him to Minnie (with Bud) and give us Pekovic, an expiring (Toliver or Randolph) ad we'll take Darko's or Wes Johnson's crappy contract! Then we still have Martin/TWill/Thabeet and possibly Sam to move for a pf...
If we're giving up scola/martin/lowry for gasol..we should also get beasley in part of a 3 way trade with minny..GET BEASLEY
The Lakers HAVE to deny any rumors about Gasol right now after Bryant called them out for it; they have no choice.
My last post about this subject so that you guys can understand. I am talking about the Rockets letting go of talent from a "FAN" perspective. I don't give TWO ****S if another team let talent go, or that they aren't good at evaluating talent. All, I care about, as a fan of the Houston Rockets, is that they are competent enough not to let that happen. That is all I mean when I say, I don't care if others passed on Lin, it is IRRELEVENT to the discussion and IRRELEVENT to my fandom if other organizations are incompetent, I only care that the Rockets are not. Now, I hope that explains it a little bit better, off to the sunset to see what Morey is able to do. DD
The most skilled big man in the game who led his team to a championship? That would be Pau Gasol. Who cares if you "don't like" him?
If all we give up for Gasol is Lowry, then I'm gonna throw a party for all my friends and enemies tonight with free alcohol til 3am.
