20 mil is a pretty big price tag for "serviceable"

serviceable would actually be an improvement for Pau Gasol

I understand your hatred for Pau Gasol. [expletive], I hate him too. But, he would not be having career lows in PJ's system. Yes, he's in decline and yes he is a soft piece of [expletive]. But he would still and is still capable of putting up 17/10 like he did before. Since we have MDA, he has to go ASAP.

I'd trade Gasol... but who needs to go ASAP is MDA!

I think Dwight is leaving, so let's make this trade and get young.

While [president of basketball operations Rod Higgins] isn’t predicting a screech of the brakes and a yank on the steering wheel, his tone sounded different Thursday: The Bobcats are definitely in the market for some kind of change.
“We’re very active – our owner wants us to be active,’’ Higgins told the Observer in regard to the Feb. 21 trade deadline.
Higgins said owner Michael Jordan has given Higgins and general manager Rich Cho “the green light to go out and make this team better…I don’t think there’s any limits to what we’d try to do.’’

He declined under PJ

Yes, I'm dead serious. As of this moment this team needs to be blown up. We have no Draft picks, our Franchise player will be leaving us in FA, and we will be stuck with old players. That's a future I don't wanna see. And we just need to trade Pau next year, we can probably get more value for him. This team has fatal flaws that can't be fixed in any trade, so why not get younger.

Usually when you suck you get a high pick, we get nothing.

This is just my opinion, and I probably sound like a moron.

And that trade wouldn't happen anyways.

[Ham]

We don't blow up now. We blow up after we trade Pau Gasol and it doesn't work even after he is traded.

[BleedPurple&Gold]

I wouldn't be so sure that Howard leaves though. We do need to do a better job with our future and make better decisions.

[Admiral General Aladeen]

Howard bought a home for 20 million. CASH.

Despite our struggles, he seems happy here.

[muncher]

when we filp Pau for Smith, he'll stay. Those two with a tranining camp next year (with a new defensive coordinator). Oh yeah.. Defence.

lol, but seriously. I think Dwight will stay.

That was never confirmed. And if he did I could get him 16Mill for it, he can absorb the loss.


And I can't find pics of it. I can find CP3 house tho.

even if he did buying a home in la dosent mean he has to live here. Kg has a house here dosent mean hes being traded here. Many athletes own homes in LA NY and Miami. Its a popular place to live. Owning a hone here does not mean he will stay.

True, but those athletes buy homes for 2-3 mil, not 20 mil.

He can just sell it anyways. Since he has had injury problems this season, our max contract offer may be more appealing.

[West Coast]

So how long till Pau demands a trade now that he is permanently on the bench? I give it a week

[Hollywood]

Doubt he demands a trade but who knows. Makes us more of a joke if we keep losing having a 19 mill dollar player come off the bench.

[Ham]

Mitch Kupchak: "Hey guys, I hid 19 millions dollars on a bench somewhere in LA. Please take it from me."

[Windu]

Imagine a scrub demanding a trade lol

@WojYahooNBA Trade market for Pau Gasol complicated because Lakers have made clear that they don't want back long-term money in deal, league sources say.

@WojYahooNBA Even the Lakers - flush with cash - don't want the tax burden of Dwight Howard (assuming he signs), Kobe Bryant, and a third massive salary.

I understand they have their 2014 plan but they are playing a very dangerous game with that (see Mavericks plan from this past-offseason)

I hate to say this but this type of plan backfiring would set us back YEARS.

[LakersChamps243]

Whenever I see Pau now I think of the teammates on my sister's soccer team that are afraid of the ball
