I'm thinking maybe he doesn't want to be here. He showed a lot of spunk playing for Spain, so maybe the L.A. thing isn't his cup of tea anymore...

He showed plenty of spunk in his little video when we found out we got dwight and steve.

Love Pau and always will for what he meant to the Lakers and making us elite again....but i'm not sure how he isn't traded to fill out needed parts to this team. it is sad, but it was also sad when we traded lamar. would have loved to see them both stay and retire as Lakers, but not to the detriment of the team.

Absolutely and unquestionably DONE.

If he gets traded tomorrow it won't be soon enough.
The bar on what I'm willing the Lakers get for him keeps lowering.

Why would the Blazers do that?

because olshey hates the clippers and wants to help the lakers stick it to them.

then he gives us wes matthews for duhon.

lillard comes for a steve blake and morris package.

that one shot when pau didnt even get off the ground and just flicked it up there pretty much sums up how bad hes become

The reality is, it's too late to trade Pau.

His value has gone down the toilet and we've already lost 17 games.

If, and I mean IF we somehow trade him for an above average wing, we're going to need to pull some 1996 Chicago Bulls bleep and run the table for us to have a chance.

Pau is long DONE

Really should have traded him to Houston for Dragic, Scola and Martin last season lol

Amare does intrigue me. That could work out for both teams. He wouldn't help our defensive issues but I think he would be a more consistent option for us.

How sad is it that many of us here knew that Nash couldn't save Pau but the FO couldn't see that?

This is right on the money with how I feel.

The Nash & Pau experiment is done today.

can i join you in that alternate universe? sounds a helluva lot better than this one

isn't that what internet forums are for????????

His value has to be dropping like a rock. They better salvage a trade with Minnesota and get some guys with youth and a hunger to excel. Pau 's shiftless play could not be contributing to team confidence.

Why any team in the NBA would want Pau on a $20 million contract is beyond me.

if a team thats a borderline playoff in the East like the Pistons and they offered you like Stuckey/Maggette and Jason Maxiell would you take it? Thats the best (realistic IMO) deal I can come up with right now

Because its an expiring 20 mill *shrug

Pau is just doesn't fit into our system and playing next to Dwight, he might be good under some teams playing a more traditional slower pace and half-court basketball that put him in the damn post though.

That and it doesn't look like we have much choice. Give turd away, get one turd in return. At least Amare's offense is >>>>> Pau. And Nash loves him.

Don't bring this up again, I'll start crying. My God what a steal that would have been.
