Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Well they have/had Chris Kaman, right?

I think he needs a defensive C around him. Regardless of whether his post game is developing, he's gonna be an offensive threat regardless. Blake is basically a more athletic Dwight Howard with a slightly better post/shooting game, IMO, he's just less dominant than Dwight.

Interesting at our differing views haha.

You have a valid argument as well. Kaman is on the books for only one more year...

If they matched a high offer for Jordan, and then had to take care of Blake/Gordon, that would pretty much be your trio going forward. Kaman probably wouldn't be retained next year.

IDK, I look at Jordan as one of those centers who's about to steal a whole lot of money that he doesn't deserve and will never live up to. But if he stay hungry and be a Tyson Chandler type, that's not too shabby.

No way we give up Bynum and Pau for Paul.

Agree. No way the show falls that's way, just like it wouldn't have fallen that way for Dwight.

They want to pair Pau Gasol with Nene. That's a very good frontcourt.

I think it'd be great if we threw the money at Marc instead, because I think it'd be fun to watch the brothers create mismatch nightmares starting alongside one another. The problem is the Grizz would match any offer I'd imagine.

Id call the Lakers bluff and ask just for that... 2 non all star big men for one of the best PGs in the league

This is getting more absurd by the minute

You dont have to keep asking why people miss the 80's and 90's

Its gone full blown WWE at this point...circus trades, guys who are supposed to be respected veterans threatning retirement, people ring hopping, guys whining and threatening not to report to camp, and a sham lockout that accomplished exactly what they said they didnt want to happen

All of this under David Stern's watch in just a couple of months...

This guy needs his own movie

This should be the trade everyone rejects. The first one should've gone through.

This one will go through. It makes sure that the Lakers have no shot at Dwight. At least in a trade for this season.

Too much for the Bucks to match for a defensive specialist. Nice having him on the team.

Having second thoughts.

That is pretty reasonable, resign him Bucks.

No way we give up Bynum and Pau for Paul. That would be crazy.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

The trade should look like this:
*salaries all work out according to ESPN Trade Machine

Rockets receive:
Pau Gasol

Lakers receive:
Chris Paul
Emeka Okafor or Jermaine Oneal (pending C's sign & Trade for D West)

Hornets receive:
Lamar Odom
Kevin Martin
Luis Scola
Goran Dragic
Devin Ebanks
Derek Character

NO would probably get Houston's 1st round pick, as well, but that seems like a lot for Houston to give up for one player.

Just to play around with it

CP3/Kobe/Lamar/Oak

or

Fish/Kobe/Lamar/Pau/Bynum

I think just by frontcourt depth alone, you would have to say keep things as is but... it would be interesting to see CP3/Kobe/Lamar/Oak... I think I wouldn't be too upset with that.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Warriors are said to be preparing an offer sheet for DeAndre Jordan. If it's in the area of $50MM or even north of that, do the Clippers match?

That guy is a scrub compared to that kind of money

I wouldn't pay him that, and you know good and well he's not worth it

Its like watching a disaster happen right in front of you and nobody is noticing

You do realize Chris Paul is your Lakers' future, right?

2 non all star bigs? Pau Gasol is a perennial star and Bynum has all star talent and only needs to remain healthy (really the only point of debate against Bynum). I'm not sure I follow, are you saying Bynum and Gasol isn't actually more than what Cp3s value to the Lakers is? I'd rather keep Bynum and Gasol as a Laker fan than trade for Cp3 unless Lakers are receiving more than CP and rags.

No way Mitch Kupchak let's that happen. Lakers would be better served waiting for the multitude of talented players who can become free agents and then clear cap for them than decimate our front court entirely. Cp3 would be the future but he's not the only one out there and he's got a bum wheel as well. Can't see Mitch being so short sighted at this juncture.

It doesnt matter man... all you care about is the Lakers getting a one up anyway

I hardly even care to talk to LA fans anymore because most are unreasonable at a time like this.

... I've been here my entire life so I already know the thought process... I meant exactly what I said up there, and not just the one part that you pulled out of the entire paragraph. It all goes into one lump to me.

If they start Derek Fisher for another year, Steph Curry, Monta Ellis, Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday, Kyrie Irving, Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson, Steve Nash, Rajon Rondo, Derrick Rose, Kemba Walker, John Wall, and Russell Westbrook will eat him ALIVE.

Derrick Rose get's first dibs though

Disgust?

*Nene signs with you guys for 4 years 70 million

Win/win for me either way.

I just know come Monday, I'll be a very happy man
