Rumor: Rondo/O'Neal for Gasol

[chambers]

I would ask for Barnes and Goudelock with Gasol.
Give them JO+Rondo+our later first round pick.

They will want Wilcox or Bass but we need both for a deep run.
I don't know what else to offer.
Bottom line is if they want Rondo they will give up Barnes with Gasol.

So , If DH donesn't go to LA .  Would LA still trade Pau to Boston for Rondo ?  If so.... would Danny have a legitmate shot at getting D Will ,  IF the Nets don't get Howard either? 

Would Dwill want to play with KG and Pau and Wilcox and Bass ?

I can't imagine the Lakers trading Gasol for Rondo unless they get Dwight first.

Reason , I post that question , is because I've heard twice this morning on TV that the Lakers have offered Bynum for DH12 and Orlando has said "NO"

I can't see how LA can get past the 2nd round with out a guard of Rondo' calibre,  Fisher is old as dirt and slow.  Their shots are running out with a 100% Kobe for another title.

If we're going to lose Rondo I want a high first rounder, because this is our final run Gasol or no Gasol (barring a miracle offseason).  So, after this year's Gasol run, which lottery bound teams could vault back into the mix by adding Gasol during the offseason.....

I was thinking Detroit.  Playing well lately with a great young PG and up and coming Center in Monroe.

Monroe and Gasol on the front-line with Knight at PG, a playoff tested Ben Gordon, Stuckey, Prince, Jerebko.....we get their lottery pick and take on some of their salary....admittedly one of the guys I just mentioned plus some deadweight...

Also, I like the idea of Gasol back in Memphis with his brother....nasty front court.....but Memphis doesn't have a lottery pick to offer.

Any lotto teams besides Detroit who might want Gasol?

[wiley]

How about New Jersey.

Lopez, Gasol, Deron Williams, Marshon Brooks.......

We take the lotto pick and some losers...

I think the opposite is true. I don't see them getting dwight without giving up bynum and gasol. I see this deal with rondo as being a back up for the dwight deal.

Stephen A. Smith on First Take said the following:

The Lakers, according to my sources, have their eyes on Rajon Rondo from the Boston Celtics. They believe Danny Ainge may be willing to do it. I haven't spoke to Danny Ainge about it so I don't know. But they believe Ainge is looking to unload, looking to get younger, and revamp his roster for a big, a guy like Pau Gasol. They're talking about a Brandon Bass & Rajon Rondo for a Pau Gasol.

If we moved Bass I would be disappointed. Yet then I could see acquiring Beasley.

Something like this:

Celts get Gasol, Beasley, and Ridnour
Lakers get Rondo, Bass, Moore
Wolves get JO and Dooling and maybe a pick from LA
