You dont trade Pau Gasol for a [expletive]ing draft pick. You trade him for a [expletive]ing allstar.

I would trade Pau for a top 3 pick, any day. And next year draft is godly at 1-2.

You wouldn't trade Pau for Mini-LeBron?

Its this type of over valuing of pau that has kept this team from getting better. We should have traded him right after the CP3 trade failed. Things would be much better. If we are lucky to get 2 decent bench players out him we all should be happy. There's a reason why the only trade offer for pau was that [expletive]ty raptors deal.

This season is making 2004 look like an absolute DREAM in comparison. Remember how getting into the finals felt guys?


Now we pine for the playoffs....


Oh yeah, & ship Pau's ass out

Part of the package. Pick plus talent. The lakers lack depth.

You didn't say that last time. Plus I don't watch much college basketball but usually their are a few standouts. To me this draft sucks. Either you trade Gasol for someone that makes your team better RIGHT NOW or you don't trade him at all.

Even if they do get an immediate impact player, the majority of the bench is going to continue to suck 'til 2014 when their contracts are up. Sad state of affairs in Lakerland

Depth is our biggest issue dude, I hate to say it but we are not in a situation with a 1 trade quick fix

Andrew Wiggins can come to the NBA out of high school. He is already NBA ready through skill but he needs to improve his ball handling and more size. Both of which are easy to fix. He is like a Lebron coming out of HS with a better jumpshot LOL. Might be a fluke though.

Depth isn't our biggest issue. Defense is.
Our issues ranked with priority:
1) Mike D'Antoni's putrid offense
2) Mike D'Antoni's putrid defense (caused by offense)
3) Mike D'Antoni
4) Floor Spacing (Caused by Pau Gasol at 4)
5) Pau Gasol
6) Bench Depth
7) Turnovers
8) Free Throws
9) Offensive Rebounds given away.

DON'T SAY THAT! It's my only hope 😔

i mean depth as in actually having players that can PLAY, period. D or otherwise. (Also disregarding our massive coaching issue, thats obv #1)

it's better than Lebrons and Shabazz Muhammad's LOL.
And also Wiggins is really young so he has time to improve

Lol exactly none of the bench players or even the starters play GOOD team defense


My bad for double post

So you would trade Pau for a rookie that maybe will be good and maybe will be luke walton over trading him for a proven beast?

Word

I bet you an 95% of us here would make better staff/coaches than Jimmy & Mike D
