Raptors will make a push for Gasol trade?

Pau Gasol trade rumor: Raptors wants the Lakers' big, but LA's interest in Andrea Bargnani debatable

The Toronto Raptors have already made a splash before the February 21 trade deadline, acquiring Rudy Gay and moving Jose Calderon. The Raptors could be poised for another move, making a play for Los Angeles Lakers big man Pau Gasol.

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, Gasol is a player that the Raptors would plunge into "luxury-tax territory" to get:
"The Lakers' interest in [Andrea] Bargnani remains a matter of debate in the midst of the Italian's worst-ever season by far, but the not-for-public-consumption message that continues to emanate from Canada is that Toronto remains intent on pursuing Gasol even after trading for Gay."Not sure how much sense dealing Gasol makes for the Lakers this season with Dwight Howard injury prone and an impending free agent with no assurances that he'll re-up in LA. Plus, why trade for the oft-injured Bargnani?
Raptors president Bryan Colangelo announced earlier this week that Andrea Bargnani is on the trading block. But again, this is a guy having a terrible season and an injury-plagued career.

Nobody in the NBA wants Bargs

[Hellcrooner]

Pass on bargnani.
and much worse, with calderon gone the filler would be another ****** player like kleiza or fields.

[Iron24th]

Bargnani? No thanks.

[Hellcrooner]

we have to call MEMPHIS they will probably accept to take pau for Randolph cause his contract is shorter.

then we either keep randolph who fits better with dumbotnis plan or use him in a three way with j smith ( id rather keep zach than get smith tough).



Another team that may want to deal with us is Pistons, their pick + either Knight or Stuckey + Maggettes expiring + villanueva or maxiell.

[Eg714]

Nope. After the gay trade, there's nobody on the raps worth it.

[lakeshow12]

Only deal that would be considerable/realistic is Gasol, Ebanks, Morris to Toronto for Bargs, T. Ross, Kleiza, + a first round draft pick.

Howard - Hill
Bargnani - Clark - Jamison
World Peace - Kleiza
Kobe - Ross - Meeks
Nash - Blake

Not that good of a trade in my opinion.

It's always fun to read "gay trade" and take it out of context lmao

[Mcdoh]

send bargs to the 3rd team.. or include amir and ross..

What do you guys think of Derozen?? Not impressed looking from his stats but better than bargs being included in trade.

would rather have PJ Tucker from the suns

[championships]

If we can't get something better for Pau than Bargs then might as well keep him.

[LakerShow]

[Avenged24]

No Calderon, no deal.
