Man the more I think about this the more I think this deal is getting done.
Ainge's thinking (makes a ton of sense)
-Dwight wants to play with Gasol:
http://www.hoops-nation.com/dwight-howard-wants-to-play-alongside-gasol-if-lakers-trade-for-him/-Get Gasol in place. Take a semi-run at it this year.
-If Dwight reaches free agency, you can make the pitch to him.
-If you get Dwight and Dwill to committ, amnesty Pierce.
-If you don't get Dwight. You can easily trade Gasol to Houston for some scraps (Martin, Dragic, Budinger, Patterson, draft pick (s), etc ..Lowry off the table) and start the rebuild.
Slowly, I'm coming around to this.
