OT: Gasol for Josh Smith

[MickZagger]

Smith has been unhappy with Atlanta for more than a year.

Smith has one season remaining on his contract for $13.2 million.

This is more realistic.

Shopping Gasol for a top-10 pick was pretty damn arrogant.

Josh Smith is worth more than Pau Gasol at this point.

Seems like a desperate Hawk move to me, and the Lakers get a better and younger player.

The Lakers were starting to show their age in the playoffs, so its natural that the NBA would want to see them improve. It would be nice to go through a Laker style "rebuild" once in a while.

Memphis, by the way, says a source, is offering Zach Randolph, another solid citizen, for Pau. Rudy Gay, as of now, is not available

Z-Bo in a Laker uni?

It would be worth it to see Bryant yelling at Z-Bo for sucking even worse than Pau did last year.

I really hope Atlanta doesn't rescue the L@kers from Pau's contract. I want it to sit like an anchor around their necks.

I agree. I sure hope the Hawks dont do it! I think Gasol is very over rated.

Both Gasols together in Memphis? That'd be cool. Where's Taylor Griffin nowadays?
