Pau Gasol to the Lakers?

[SHOOT!31]

The Lakers should trade for Pau Gasol. if we had Pau, Kobe and (hopefully) Lamar we would be a championship team. Even if we had to give up bynum i would do it. sure, he is young and has great potential but gasol is 27 years old. he is a superstar in this league. with kobe and pau we would be a championship contender for years (and years) to come...

The only trade that makes sense for us and them is one that includes Bynum

Bynum
Mihm
McKie
Shammond
Smush

for Gasol.

Problem is, it makes Odom or Walton our PG. But the best thing about it is that all our main players (Kobe, Odom, Kwame, Luke, Gasol, Vlad, Evans, etc) are all in the 26-28 age range which is basically when everyone hits their prime

PG Odom
SG Kobe
SF Luke
PF Gasol
C Kwame

Only thing is, Kwame will only be used for D as all the low post scoring will be coming from Gasol, so then will Kwame pout and not play good D? He's shown he's still imature (grabbing some guys cake to throw at Turiaff)

But still, that line up is pretty nice...and we'd still have Farmar, Turiaff, Evans, Vlad, Cook, and Sasha

Personall I'd rather do a Kwame+ for Gasol, however, by not including Bynum then Memphis's other offers (from the Bulls, etc) blow our Kwame-led deal out of the water

Don't u ever, EVER EVER EVER make a title like that again. I almost had a heart attack, and not because I was happy.

Whats wrong with Pau? He's been playing great since his injury and is a nice passer of the ball

[trodgers]

If it's a groundless trade, then it should go in the groundless trade thread. Gasol is an interesting match for the Lakers team (he could play 4 with Lamar at 3), but I can't see it happening.

Moved to the trade forum.

Pau may be on the block if you believe in Vecsey

It's not happening. You have no brains as a GM if you don't consider chemistry and fit. With AB's future in the low block, what do you need more? Lakers don't have that many players who can create shots. With Lamar he is a better playmaker, defender, and faciliator. With Lamar he has the ability to grab the rebound and turn it into a fastbreak.

If you trade Lamar for Pau, you are not sure how Pau would fit with this team. Lakers aren't going to do this with their current record and with the way Lamar was playing at the beginning of the year.

Stats comparison:

Lamar Odom:
17.5 PPG
8.7 RPG
4.9 APG
.354 3pt %
.474 FG %
.768 FT %
0.8 BPG
0.7 SPG
TO 3.67

Pau Gasol:
19.3 PPG
7.0 RPG
2.5 APG
.333 3pt %
.576 FG %
.771 FT %
1.6 BPG
0.4 SPG
TO 2.53

i love what lamar is doing for the lakers this season, don't get me wrong. but you can't compare him to gasol. gasol is one of the best players in the league.

[beckham238kobe]

lets give up

lakers give: chris mihm ...smush and cook

memphis gives:paul


it would be like a iverson trade

Grizzlies wouldn't entertain any of of our offers unless Odom or Bynum were included in them. I'm not willing to do that.

You'd have to consider Bynum for Gasol, even if you don't end up pulling the trigger. Gasol is perfect in the Tri, and the perfect compliment to Kwame. Can score inside and out very efficiently, and can also block shots.

The Lakers would win the championship this year with Pau Gasol, as long as we didn't trade Odom for him (and you'd have to consider that too, though I wouldn't do it myself because I love Lamar's game).

[JSM]

1) I don't think West will pursue trading Pau to another Western Conference team. Interconference star trades are not done all that often.

2) Why would the Grizzlies want Bynum? They're getting Oden in under 6 months.
