Working on a deal to acquire Bargnani for S&T Gasol

[RsxPiimp]

"Two informed insiders have told Charged FM Brooklyn that Carmelo Anthony and Phil Jackson are currently at a stalemate.

The Knicks and Lakers are in talks on a sign and trade that would send Pau Gasol to the Knicks, and ship Andrea Bargnani, Tim Hardaway Jr., and a 1st round pick to Los Angeles.

Anthony wants the deal made to pair up with Gasol and be in a position to compete this season. Jackson is hesistant in making the deal because he doesn't want to trade Hardaway who he reportedly hasn't been shopping at all.

Both don't see eye-to-eye, and word is if Jackson doesn't make the trade Anthony could balk and go to the Chicago Bulls."

Gasol wants to rot in New York where the media will shit in him even faster than kobestans do?

I'd be fine with that. Keeps Gasol away from Meth/Chicago where he could do some damage.

:lmao Lakerfan's dream Big Three: LeBron, Melo, Kirby
:lmao The actual Big Three: Lin, Bargnani, Kirby

LMFAO Bargnani. What a day for the Purple and Gold

Haven't seen a credible source on it, but this jives with using your cap space to gain assets. Get Bargnani + Lin with your cap space while preserving next years cap because they are expiring and get 2 first rounders for your trouble. If your plan was Melo or bust and you apparently lost out on Melo, might as well bite the bullet, get assets (Tim Hard Jr + 2 1sts) and rebuild next year.

What the fuck are the Lakers doing? :rollin

Hardaway is shit

[DJR210]

Has a Bargnani billboard been erected in front of Staples yet?

Hardaway is shit


We're playing Go Fish homie :lol

[slick'81]

Lol melo making jax his bitch

[DPG21920]

Hopefully Melo decides LA in a shocker. He can still get 20M per year even with Lin. That would be awesome.

What the fuck are the Lakers doing? :rollin

Hardaway is shit

I wouldnt go that far. I like him.

[Trill Clinton]

:lol paid two picks to get Bargs
:lol paying another to get rid of him

Got to hand it to the Lakers if this trade also goes through. Lakers getting those first round picks back while preserving cap space for 2015. Although, no one really wants to play with Kobe so they still have to wait until he retires before becoming contenders again.

If Pau isn't coming to the Spurs, going to the Knicks is probably great news for us. Going to OKC would've been problematic, IMO.

My guess is Houston now that they've got so much cap room and no other options.

Dwight's presence might sour Gasol on going there. Not sure how well they got along in LA.

Not worried about OKC, Westbrook always comes through with clutch bricks to seal it for the Spurs.
