May 11, 201115 yr I never said it would be straight up. I don't really feel like looking at the salaries and see what matches up honestly. :lol: I don't think it matters. Unless he's with Bynum he's not going to fetch much on the open market if LA is looking fo a star in return IMO. He's on the decline. Orlando is the only place that makes sense to take him to me, and that is only if they can get Bynum too. Chicago too if they could swap Boozer for Gasol but I don't see either team doing that. I don't even think the Pacers would send Danny Granger and that is saying something. Simply put I thought Gasol for Westbrook was far-fetched. JMO, we'll agree to disagree :thumb:.

I didn't mean Gasol for Westbrook straight up I should have clarified. I could see Bynum and Gasol for Howard and whoever else matches up money wise. I think Chicago would do that in 1 nano second, Boozer sucks.
May 11, 201115 yr FYI I just saw the Bynum foul. I am at a loss for words. In the 2011 NBA that was a crazy foul. In the late 80s that foul was called a Lakers/Celtics game.

May 11, 201115 yr You are nuts if you don't think Gasol has much trade value. I agree Marc Gasol has a ton of trade value. That pansy brother of his could maybe fetch a role player at this point.
May 11, 201115 yr Gasol had one bad playoff run and suddenly he's worthless? Gasol isn't going to demand huge value by himself because he'll be 31 years old in July, and teams simply aren't going to trade an up and coming potential star for a guy who is nearing the backside of his career. I think Gasol could still bring big value with the right team. If you find a team that thinks they are a skilled big man away from winning a title, there are few better than Pau. Gasol was right at his career average of 18.8 ppg and a full rebound above his career average at 10.2 rpg. His stats this season were basically the same as they've been since he came to LA. For whatever reason, he had a dismal playoffs, but he isn't washed up. And, if the Lakers can't get something pretty good in return, they'd be stupid to trade him.

This..... Regardless of his playoff stretch Gasol will still be one of the top 5 big men in the NBA.
May 11, 201115 yr This..... Regardless of his playoff stretch Gasol will still be one of the top 5 big men in the NBA. No way. Howard Love Gasol (Marc) Bosh Randolph Amare Lopez (Nets) Aldridge Garnett Boozer Those guys are all better and I'm sure I've missed a couple others.
May 11, 201115 yr No way. Howard Love Gasol (Marc) Bosh Randolph Amare Lopez (Nets) Aldridge Garnett Boozer Those guys are all better and I'm sure I've missed a couple others. To each his own. Only guys I would take before Gasol are Howard, Randolph and Love.
May 11, 201115 yr Brittany Griner is a better big man than Bosh. Bosh is a small forward who plays power forward.
May 11, 201115 yr No way. Howard Love Gasol (Marc) Bosh Randolph Amare Lopez (Nets) Aldridge Garnett Boozer Those guys are all better and I'm sure I've missed a couple others. I don't really agree with any of the bold.
May 11, 201115 yr I don't really agree with any of the bold. I wouldn't expect you too. You're a Lakers fan, thus biased.
