Trade with HOU and LAL

[byennie]

Pierce, Scola, J O'Neal to Lakers.

Gasol, Metta World Peace to Houston.

Dalembert, 2 1st rounder, Trade exception ($6.1M from Lakers), expiring deals (Lee, Dragic, Barnes etc. to BOS)

Why for the Lakers?
They turn an underutilized Gasol into Pierce and Scola.

Why for Houston?
They get Gasol for Dalembert, Scola's awful contract and a pick.

Why for Boston?
For Pierce we get a trade exception ($6M), a real center (Dalembert), and now have 4 1st rounders and enough cap room for 2 max deals.

As much fun as it would be to give the Lakers another championship, no thank you.

There is just no way in this universe or any other that Danny Ainge trades Paul Pierce, a celtic legend and the last great Celtic to know Red to the LAKERS to help them win their 17th title. No. Just no.
