Jose could ask for a buyout but dont think he'll throw away money though and would mgmt. even try to sign him if he was a FA?

Asked about his remaining options to salvage this season, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said, “We will not make a trade. We will not trade Dwight Howard. We have no intention of making a trade. It’s unlikely that we’ll make any trade with any of our principal players. To make another change at this time of the year being behind the eight-ball like we are, I think that would just make it more difficult. The talent is there. We have to find our way.”

Wolves forward Lou Amundson said he has been talking with his agent about the very real possibility that he will be traded or waived Friday if the Wolves intend to make room for both Chris Johnson and Mickael Gelabale for the rest of the season. "It's a business so you have to kind of think ahead," Amundson said. "Whatever happens, just continue to do what I'm doing. Everything's on the table right now. You never like to get traded, but sometimes the situation isn't what you hope to it to be. It can work out for the best sometimes." Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Two things.....

1.) Last time he said this D12 and Nash found their way to LA.

2.) If this is true, can you please get another wing player? Not a stud but someone like Korver/Dunleavy/Dudley/Webster type player that come in and space the floor.....

I think Lou would be a nice insurance big for us. IIRC he ran with Nash in Phoenix when they had that nice bench.

Maybe squeeze Cunningham out of them as well.
