Boston sends out Kris Humphries, Brandon Bass, a future round 1 and future round 2 pick for Pau Gasol. They get some draft picks and a substansive expiring in exchange for giving us an even bigger expiring and taking on 6 million in long term salary

19 million dollars of expiring contract in a rebuild season, someone to help Olynyk, Melo and Sully take their post passing to the next level, the Lakers won`t give up 19 million in expiring contract for just anything...

Doesn't make sense for either side.

Lakers are actually in a pretty good spot - the only player under contract beyond this season is Nash. They will have tons have cap even if they resign Bryant,  plus they're poised to have a decent draft pick in a loaded draft. Losing D12 is a blow, but they're poised to bounce back fairly quickly. No need to take on Bass who is under contract beyond this season and eat into their projected cap space.

For the Celtics, we're rebuilding.  Its shortsighted and careless give up a 1st rounder for a 30+ year old player on an expiring deal. Might as well just kept Pierce. Especially if you're objective is to miss the playoffs for the lottery. If we trade any firsts, it will be in a package for a young player who will be part of the rebuild.

AGREED! Like the Lakers need any pity especially from a C's fan??? They have been handed everything to them on a silver platter and finally someone could care less about playing in L.A. Good for you Dwight!

Not even the condescending kind of pity normally reserved for basket case 3rd world countries?
