    Yao and Marc Gasol= 2 big centers
    1) what do u think guys of gettin him with Yao?
    2) Is it possible in terms of trades...?
    3) If so what do we need to get him without losing good players?

    Landry, Cook, Taylor, draft pick?

    Gasol + Fillers?


    Not sure it would work, just throwing ideas out there.

    For what?

    Marc has a low contract that is paying high dividends. We would have to trade a player with as much potential with as small of a contract. There is no way this deal could swing, not even on NBA Live 09. Free agency? Maybe. As of right now, he is untouchable, we have a better chance of getting Pau.

    The Rockets offer Luis Scola, and Jermaine Taylor if they want him for Gay insurance.

    Threads like this should be locked. There is no chance the Rockets get Gasol this season. It would be the equivelant of Drayton McLane trading Lance Berkman when he was making the $500,000 rookie minimum.

    QUIT TRYING TO TRADE LANDRY!!!!!!!!!!!

    He's better than Gasol and you lose validity when you do so.

    Unless we are offering Yao Ming, I don't see us getting Gasol. He is one of the best young centers in the league. He is not soft like his brother.

    When will people stop thinking the Gasol trade was one-sided? Marc Gasol is damn good, and might be just as good as his brother in time.

    marc gasol doesnt impress me a whole lot. hayes completely shut him down.
    he doesnt have many moves.

    i'd rather have Al Horford. dude is legit on both ends and he runs the court really well. i can only wish. i'd rather have him than yao.

    I love Carl and everything he's overcome to get where he is, but Gasol Is a young 5 with game who is improving each time out.(with one helluva contract)
    I'm in the trade Yao camp and believe Gasol would be an excellent piece or us.
    Good centers are hard to come by and besides there is always the risk of reinjuring that knee with Carl.
    We'd have to add a stud w/ quality size and athleticism at the 4,but that wouldn't be a problem if Yao was dealt.
