Would you give up the #14 and #16 picks of this draft to land Pau Gasol?

Good point ....


Suppose it depends on your direction which route you take.


Win now , take Gasol.

Build for down the road , look to get a young piece.


Dont think either is wrong.

Not sure I still want Gasol. Don't think he wants to be in Houston. I think his play would be bad if he was forced to play there and he didn't want to.

And certainly not for 2 first rounders.

It would have to be in a deal where the Rockets get the better end of the bargain and with him wanting to be there...

 

Interesting.

Lakers want draft pick to pick either Perry Jones or Q Miller. IF Jones slips to the 16th spot we can get Gasol on the cheap if the Lakers want Jones bad enough.
