And if the trade was to go down, your replacing Pau Gasol with Antwan Jamison, not Al "I get Buckets" Harrington. He Will probably be a bench guy. Probably would start Jordan Hill with Howard over Harrington.


Jamison still scored 17.2 ppg and had 6.9 rebounds last year playing and starting 65 games for the Cavs. At 36 he is still a contributing player

Pau Gasol played and started in 65 games for the Lakers and 12 playoff games. Averaged this year 17.4 ppg and 10.1 rebounds a game. He dipped to 12.5 ppg in the playoffs with 9.5 rebounds.




Career wise, besides the better rebounding from Pau, your talking Jamison being the better scorer. Add Howard to that with his 20.6 ppg and 14.5 rebounds from last year and your not really missing a beat NEXT SEASON trading both Bynum and Gasol.

I wish Al Harrington will someday be a Sacramento King for the sole purpose that I can get whatever number jersey he will be with 'I GET BUCKETS' on the back,

 

[vc3fan]

Worst part is RCK, he may the amount of times he gets dealt.

Every young _ from NC gonna bang on Stack. Wall, PJ, who's next?

 

[da doc03]

Adrian Wojnarowski: Orlando's Jason Richardson has been significant name in 4-way talks too, sources tell Y! There's a scenario where he goes with Howard to LA.

 

[statis22]

So the deal doesn't help Orlando clear cap space or gain young assets to rebuild. Trading Gasol once you get him is way easier said than done.

Wall dunked on him too?

Well now the deal won't happen..

 

[blakep267]

for the sixers, even if Bynum is a 1 year deal its still better than having iguodala for 1 more year. he isnt getting resigned here next year

 

[jhobson5]

I agree, Masai Ujiri is the smartest man in the room. he's building a great team for Denver for years to come

This would be a great pick up for Denver. I remember last year Denver looked hard at trading for Iggy. I was really hoping they would. Although I love Afflalo and will miss his hard nose defensive, getting rid of him and Al for Iggy is a steal.

 

[Bert.]

def agree with Denver being a nice team. Afflalo is nice but Iggy is better. very very solid team.

 

[bhzmafia14]

Why does this make Denver so good if they are still missing the most importance piece? A true to go to player. Unless Gallinari becomes that guy (which I don't see happening), they will continue to be the same team they've been the past couple of seasons. Now, if they were to get Bynum in the deal and moved McGee, that would be better IMO.

I like the deal for Philly. Getting Bynum for Iggy straight up is a win.

I don't like it for LAL and its a solid deal for Denver. They don't get worse, but it doesn't put them ahead of any of the teams that were in front of them last season.

Source confirms that ORL, LAL, PHI and DEN have discussed four-team deal. However, source warns it's "one of several deals being discussed."

Please don't trade Pau for ******g Al Harrington. Hopefully LA can get CLE back into this.

D12-Pau-Kobe-Nash>>>>>>>12-Al/Antwan-Kobe-Nash

It doesn't make sense though, Kobe has publicly said as long as he's there so is Pau

... They are trading Gasol to Houston

If the 4 team deal happens..

Seems like one way or another Gasol lands in Houston You will never escape him

i was waiting to say this if the trade went through

 

[essential1]

Yup..

Mitch Kupchak seems to have high balled himself in negotiations

How he became the moron to do it, is beyond me.

Let's not forget it's still a terrible deal for Orlando STILL

Now it becomes a bad deal for Lakers/

Edit: Let's go back to bed, and wait for the rest of the Dwightmare

Tony Mejia ‏@TonyMejiaNBA

NBA source says there would be nothing holding Denver or Philly from this deal, but its more Lakers and Magic exploring options. Not close.

Tony Mejia ‏@TonyMejiaNBA

Source: Exploratory. Option of moving Pau has always been there, but nothing Lakers are serious about, especially with Nash on board. FWIW

What should have been a memorable meeting for 12-year-old Lee Eddins unfortunately won't happen.

Eddins passed away Thursday from leukemia, a day before Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert was scheduled to visit him.

Hibbert sadly won't be able to put a smile on Eddins' face, but he still plans to fly to Sacramento later today as scheduled and meet members of Eddins' family.

MAN **** THAT!

The world seems to want Houston to take Pau.. I can't change that

 

[airjordan jb23]

Bynum on the 6ers is a good look... So is Iguodala in Denver. Dwight playing with Kobe & Nash speaks for itself. The only side of this deal I don't like is with Orlando. I feel like they could've done better if this is their way of moving Dwight. It seems like everyone in this deal progresses while Orlando doesn't, which isn't a good look since they have the player with the biggest name.
