Maybe we're waiting for the 15th, but he's gonna get dealt.

[Raps08-09 Champ]

3 way deal.

Lakers get: Ryan Anderson
Wolves get: Pau Gasol
Hornets get: Derrick Williams and Nik Pekovic

[Mr_Jones]

That's what I've been saying! He has been struggling to finish even in his post-up opportunities.

gasol is done , first mentally and then physically, he runs like a 45 years old guy.

pau lovers are too many here, but they'll have to face the truth one day or another.

No shock here. He has been quite bad for his Standards since after the Dallas series. Unfortunately this guy might be a little like Lamar Odom in respect to his mental approach to the game. If he is not there mentally he cannot help his team.

Pau for a bag of doritos at this point, honestly. No defense, no offense. Even his post game, his strong point, has been quite bad from the few times I saw him there this year. He either gets blocked, fumbles away the ball, or throws up a lazy shot.

Pau Gasol is shooting 31% when he posts up (16/52 FGs). He produces .73 points per post opportunity which is 72nd in the NBA.

The reason why this is so low is because Pau is not getting CONSISTENT touches in the low post. He has no rhythm in any facet of his game. Not in the post, not on the elbow, not on the perimeter, and not on defense.

Pay me 19mil a year and I'll find a way to have rhythm. Enough excuses....

Pau is done.. I really think he is being traded.. Hoping for ryan anderson or josh smith in some kind of 3way trade. I wouldn't mind getting only solid bench players back either, I actually think id prefer it

I posted that Derrick Williams/Rhino trade in the Pau thread first

[lakersincebirth]

Trade Dwight now for everyone. Do it, Mitch.

After one of his best games of the season (so his stats are on an upswing right now), Dwight Howard produces .79 points per post opportunity, which is 62nd in the NBA.

That's with consistent post opportunities, and not having to spend warmup time practicing three-pointers because that's what your coach tells you to do. It makes a difference.
