HALLELUJAH !!!
TRADE HIM YESTERDAY !!!
We'll take Pau Gasol ...Green was born a Laker.
You're saying green is lazy, soft and weak of mind but you're more than happy to chuck him in a trade for Pau Gasol who is owed 40 million these two years....yeah right.
The reason you make that trade is to sell on Green, Bass and Lee (those are the guys you need to make the money work). Gasol will be an expiring $19.5m deal next year, a quite valuable contract, especially since the guy is still a decent big man.
If the Cs could get Gasol for Green, Bass and Lee, and then sign a vet SF to play behind PP, they'd be a much stronger team than they are currently. Gasol, KG, PP, RR and Bradley, with JET, Sully, vet SF, Wilcox is a strong rotation. They'd be able to compete with the bigger teams, like the Nets, and could go small for the Heat by playing PP on LeBron at PF and splitting the big minutes with Gasol and KG )or playing big and punishing the Heat so bat that they are forced to match, which is preferable to me).
This trade would be a good idea for LA. They get a SF and SG who can run the floor, and a cost controlled PF who can hit the jumper. The Lakers would get the depth and speed they desperately need, and they would get two excellent corner three point shooters.
