I'm pretty sure most GMs wouldn't trade for Bargnani, he's on a worse contract compared to Bonner and Bonner can play, even if he sucks in the playoffs.
Probably wouldn't deal for Bargs though, LA does decent on trades.

Great. So the Lakers offer Gasol for a big and a wing. GS should offer Biedrins and Jefferson. Instead, they offer Lee and Barnes.
He's going to Cleveland for Kyrie and Sideshow Bob.
That's what i was thinking
The lakers are targeting a star not a washed up player like Marion. Kaman and Jones don't fit the bill as the star types the lakers will try to get.
if lakers got something like josh smith or something of similar value for the dead corpse of gasol, NBA = ed. fat old son of a stern has lost interest in the team of TOSB n he ain't likely to gift them another superstar imho. realistic proposal would be pau to dallas for marion + fillers (kaman most likely)
Lakers will end up getting Varejao+Irving+Waiters
Most reasonable trade of the thread. I hope this doesn't happen tbh. Gallinari can play stretch four with Jamison but he's also pretty athletic. Wilson will also add length and athleticism. Nash could push the ball with these players and they will be able to stretch the floor on half court offense.
this.
would be a good trade for both teams imho... but nothing is going to happen till nash comes back.
well throw in sacre too... and johnson odom
ing laker fans.
Gallo is a good shooter and is what - 23? I like Chandler's game too. Deal. Do it Mitch.
denven's offer would be an ideal one for them lakers despite that it doesn't contain any former gangstas from the suns, also it would bring good depth to lakers bench which they currently need bad
The T-Wolves are ing insane...the owner admitted that he didn't want to trade Beasley to us now he wants Mitch to deal Gasol to him...that ing owner blowing some a crack
I agree...but here's how it's going to play out compliments of LG research:

3 team trade, that will catapult us to the top.
Lakers out: Pau Gasol
Lakers in: Josh Smith, Kyle Korver
Denver out: Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov
Denver in: Pau Gasol
Atlanta out: Josh Smith, Kyle Korver
Atlanta in: Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov
Lakers-We get what we need. Athletic PF who can run like a gazelle, play defense, and finish at the rim. Korver gives us another shooter, for more flexibility.
Denver- They get a versatile PF/C with championship experience. Yes Pau has fallen off, but Nuggets could use an inside offensive threat who is a willing passer and great rebounder. Gives them even more versatility. Imagine lineups of Javale at C and Pau at PF... or Pau at C and Faried at PF. They can mix/match according to the matchup.
Atlanta get 2 perimeter play makers, while also getting a C to shore up C depth, allowing Horford to stay at PF.
^ please,tell me I'm not the only one that thinks this trade makes sense for all 3 teams.
I think it helps Denver and LA, but it would take more to get Atlanta to part with Josh Smith.
Wouldn't matter, tbh. Mike D'Antonio would still be their head coach.

There are some obvious problems here. The Spurs would probably never make a trade that directly helps Dallas or the Lakers. Dallas probably wouldn't send a decent big man prospect to San Antonio. The Spurs probably would never get rid of Bonner. But besides all that, this is about the value everyone could expect for their players. Gasol is good enough to get a lot of bench help, but he's not good enough to get back a star player (mainly because there's not a star player to be had right now). Roddy would help the Lakers' bench, and Marion would allow LA to get rid of World Peace somehow.
Cleveland (or Dallas or San Antonio) may need to give up a little more, but this would be the definition or selling high on Varejao. If the Lakers want him, then there's not need to the Mavericks to be involved. The only reason San Antonio is needed is to absorb a player the Lakers don't want in exchange for sending LA a player they do want. (Bonner's floor-stretching ability makes him valuable right now.) In return for doing that, they'd get a sweetener or two from the Cavs/Mavericks.
This is the same basic structure as the Howard deal, except the pieces are not as good for any team. The Cavs play LA's role, and the Lakers play Orlando's role. Other teams may be needed to be Philly and Denver, so this was just an idea using teams that are salient to me. I could see the Bucks, Raptors, Nets and Wolves getting involved instead.
Atlanta (Howard's hometown) wants Dwight for themselves next summer. Don't think they would be too keen in helping out the Lakers so I won't worry about the Lakers robbing them.
