Gasol on the block.

What about with Houston? Dunno if D12 and Gasol would work well or if the lakers would trade him there...but they need to get rid of Asik and Lin. Lin would be popular in LA due to the huge Chinese/taiwanese population.

That's actually a great place for Houston and Lakers.

That's what I was thinking. That's why I wondered how much y'all think he'll command this summer. The Blazers are definitely a team where he could go ring shopping by "bringing his talents" to the Rose Quarter. LOL

He's going to want to start though. I think we've got a better shot of trying to convince someone like Hawes to take the MLE and come off our bench.

I'd want Hawes without a doubt. He's much better for this team's 2nd unit.

Hawes is also expiring? I agree, he's probably a better fit "upstairs" and has more tread on the tires. Plus Hawes doesn't stink like purple and piss, so there's that.

It's just a matter of how much he can get, AND whether he'll be willing to come off the bench.

Yes, he's in the final year of his deal.

I think the Lakers will make a play for Asik and send Gasol to Houston. I don't want Gasol in Portland and he gets a huge salary as well. Pau is not LaMarcus by any stretch.

Houston really couldn't swing that trade either. Unless they wanted to trade Lin AND Asik, but that'd be kind of stupid because Gasol doesn't put them over the top

Let's hope they are stupid

Simmons was saying Gasol for Boozer/Deng.
