Listening to SA Smith. Gasol for Amare if he is healthy? (speculation on my part)

[jmoney85]

Amare is making 23 mill the year after Gasol and Kobe expire. It's not even an option year, he's gonna get that 23 mill. That cripples us.

and amare is not the player pau is

[TheNumber37]

I doubt the Knicks can get it done and I doubt that they are interested in getting it done.
They still haven't seen what Amare will do as Knick this season, so there's no sense in trading him... just yet.
The Grizzlies were in a similar situation a year ago and elected NOT to trade Rudy Gay - that's working out well, I'd say.
Amare is back in 3 weeks and the Knicks have 20 more games to evaluate him.
Same goes or Gasol, who you can't judge til Nash comes back.

BUT, I do think that nor Gasol,Howard, Artest work well in a D'Antoni Offense - so I'd move 2 out of the 3 and ONE is NOT Howard. No way they can get KLove, so they should so what they do so well, rape other teams in trades.

Gasol + Artest for
BARGS, Calderon, Kleiza
OR
Gasol, Hill, 2nd round
Ryan Anderson + Jason Smith

id rather have Amare then softy Gasol

[nickdymez]

Only if we get mation from the Mavs, Diaw from the Spurs, Bell from Utah, Joe from the Nets, and Tim Thomas comes back to the NBA.

Artest for Marion
Kobe for Joe
Howard for a Diaw
Meeks for Bell

Then we got

Nash
JJ
Marion
Diaw
Amare

Looks like a championship team to me!

gasol for hump, brooks, 1st , mirza teletovic (stretch 4)

IDK if the Lakers will do it cause it seems like the Nets win this trade by a landslide

amare is softer than gasol

[nickdymez]

Not sure if being sarcastic or just

How could you not be sure if he was being sarcastic? He's obviously being sarcastic..

[firm_standing]

someone with knee tendinitis for someone with no knees and an uninsured contract? I'll pass. Amare thrived because of his athleticism; that's all gone folks.

We will be saying that about another player here soon...

I think BKN will wait till the summer and try to use those parts (along with Lopez) to get Howard if he's unhappy in LA.

[mamba24]

Bargnani, Calderon, Kleiza

for

Gasol and Metta World Peace

I think the trade would benifit both parties.

No it wouldn't... Bargs is shooting horribly right now, and Kleiza is rotting on the bench. Calderon would be nice but do you think the Lakers who already struggle defensively would want to add a softer big than Pau? If the Raps bring in a 3rd team... Maybe the Hornets... Then I could see something happening. Lakers are gonna try to get Ryan Anderson. We'll see if that is even a possibility

[Lake_Show2416]

Amare is trash, no1 wants him unless it's in a made up trade rumors

I'd rather dump Gasol's salary over taking Amare anyday

[Sly Guy]

I think that's better than a potential Knicks deal.

yeah but the nets won't. Why on earth would they be looking to deal anyone right now? They're at the top looking down at the league, so they're the ones least likely to be making big moves.

Impossible.... new cba restricts teams from doing sign and trades that are in the luxury tax

only way that would happen would be at the deadline and it would take a catastrophe for that to happen
