I'll go early for 2013. TOR will offer a package of Bargnani/Lowry/filler ( Fields or Kleiza or Davis ) and a pick for a Pau and non core filler package and we'll bite. They want to keep Jose and match him with Pau is the strong word.

Anyone up for smaller trade hill and Ebanks for Wesley Mathews. Pretty good young wing player without affecting core or 2014 flexibility?

Yeah I could see something like that being offered. I just wonder if we'd accept. I can't stand Bargs, and his value is so shot right now that Toronto would have to throw in a pick or two just to get rid of him. Lowry is such a stud though. Having him as our backup pg would absolutely make our bench legit.

I just see Bargs as the deal breaker here. Unless he goes to a 3rd team to get us a diff. power forward, I just don't see why we'd want him.

This is no lie.. I could go on and on about experience and what it really means but the truth is no one wants to hear it, they just want results right this minute.. Again, Gasol may be statistically struggling at times and certainly not bringing as much to the table as he has in the past, but who on this team is.. Simple truth is the Laker dynamic has changed drastically over the last few years and everyone is adjusting at their own pace which is problematic.. Gasol, through out this entire mess, has at the very least shown up and played both ends of the court and to his credit not bashed anyone in the process.. He's taken his lumps like a professional and has continued to try to help the Lakers win basketball games..

I'm not saying dude is perfect or without his limitations, what I am saying is that the Lakers are better with him than without him for many tangible and intangible reasons.. He's irreplaceable because he's so diverse and does so many of the small things well.. Again the Lakers simply would be hard pressed to get equal value in return for him.. It's that simple..

I agree

We need youth, athleticism, and outside shooting. We should consider moving Pau for the right deal.

How the hell could we do Millsap for Gasol straight up? Did Millsap get a huge contract in the last 2 weeks? Lulz. Also, Utah isn't that stupid. We have no draft picks, and they hate us.

That is where Mitch has to start looking.

Since we don't have any draft picks for the next decade it would be nice to add some lol. But I would love this deal if like someone else suggested bargs goes somewhere else and we can get a different PF

Let's see how well the oldest team in NBA history is holding up at the end of the season and into the playoffs.

This is true, but so far at least their chances of going to the playoffs are A LOT better than ours... Once you make it there, anything can happen in a 7 game series...

The Knicks have a nice mix of old and young players and when Shumpert comes back, all of those "old" players will be coming off the bench so they'll play limited minutes but give that veteran leadership to the second string of players...

Bottom line is that's coaching. Woodson knows what he's doing when it comes to situations like these unlike D'Antoni who plays Kobe and Nash God awful long minutes and won't play Jamsion at all... The same **** that got him run out of New York and will eventually be the reason for his exit out of L.A....

At this rate we won't even make the playoffs
