I hope the Lakers amnesty him. That way Cuban can nab him up and stick it up the Lakers ass next year.
i know we need more youth and Gasol is approaching TOSB status, but I think Pop would use him better than anyone other than Phil Jackson, plus monitor his minutes very well. hopefully Jim Buss is dumb enough to let it happen. but I agree, I doubt they let him go.

Last time Cuban nabbed somebody from us it ended up an unmitigated disaster. Gasol is just as tender & juicy as Odom is.
First we'll see if we can package him in a deal with Rondo....we need a PG that can also play the 2 at times like Rondo....Pau's services will be redundant next year once we get J- Hill back and give Clark some more PT...I'd even say sign Josh Smith if we can unload Artest in a deal with ATL.
If I'm LA I'm targeting Smith and Rondo to play along side Kobe and Dwight...that would put us back in le contention. and FAST.... Rondo instantly shuts down all that CP3, WBrook, and Parker guard penetration
actually the last 2 times...Fisher ed him over as well...
.
Gasol is making quite the name for himself....after today he's now 0-13 in the play-offs without Kobe....did you hear that Mid.....0-13 without Kobe..the clock is ticking on all Spur fan Gasol lovers
I hope I'm wrong bout dat boy
No you don't.
I'd take that in a heartbeat. Pau is a prove performer. Tiago is promising, and Neal is just a chucker.
He was enough to get you to drop your Spurs fan moniker and adopt a Laker troll name. Laker fan here owes his existence to Pau.Gasol is making quite the name for himself....after today he's now 0-13 in the play-offs without Kobe....did you hear that Mid.....0-13 without Kobe..the clock is ticking on all Spur fan Gasol lovers

Extra Stout ain't been the same since the Spaniard gave that franchise a new lease on life.

Pau is STILL their best trade chip and next season will also be a massive expiring contract. Amnestying is stupid since they'll have zero cap room assuming Dwight is retained at 20 mil per year even after Pau is waived.
Heck, even if the Lakers amnesty albatross contract Kobe, once they resign Dwight they're over the cap so they STILL can't make big signings
Dwight 20
Pau 19
Nash 9
MWP 8
Blake 4
Duhon 4
Hill 3.5
which gives you a grand total of 67.5 million dollars (69 if you include Jokie Meeks and his team option). With a salary cap somewhere to be around 60-61 million, they can't do . They'll have the mini-midlevel exception of 3 years 9 million, and the ability to sign players to the veteran's minimum. thats it. so you'd have pretty much the roster you see on the court now, with one cheap player added to the mix
If they amnesty Pau, they're in even worse shape roster-wise and are limited to the same contracts stated above.
As you all may know, every guy on the roster will be an expiring contract except Dwight (of course, assuming he stays) and Nash, so we could see a LOT of midseason wheeling and dealing from Mitch. So basically their only real chance of being serious contenders next year is to acquire huge parts via trade and hope they all mesh perfectly in time for the stretch run. Otherwise, it will pretty much be a tank season with a ceiling for 1 or 2 rounds of playoffs, and pray LeBron jumps ship

o dip ....newsflash...they offered him to us before (and we turned the deal down) so it's plausible they'd offer him again...especially after the get swept by the Knicks and we get Swept by the Spurs...You s must love living in fantasy land.
-The Times' Mike Bresnahan reports the Lakers and Celtics talked last week about making a trade for Rajon Rondo. But Bresnaahn reports are unwilling to trade Pau Gasol for Rondo.
Seriously? They got CP3 before the trade was blocked, they got Howard, they got Shaq, they got Pau. What is it about Rondo that puts him out of reach in that case?You s must love living in fantasy land.
Lakers won't amnesty Kobe. He has a huge following of be@ner, slope and chimp fans who buy NBA . The media gathers around him even if he's not playing. That's why the Lakers have that monstrous contract that the rest of the league is suckling from. They'd get rid of everyone on the team before they amnesty Kobe.
It's not about winning rings. It's about winning fans.
Not sure what Rondo's health is ...but of course Lakers should consider that deal. I dont like Rondo his FT and jumpshot drives me nuts ...But PG has been a weak spot pretty much every season minus a few Nick Van exel seasons since Magic retired.
Pau is a great player and with KG to play fake thug for him would probably be very effective tbh ...
Though The Shovel versus launchin' that bad boy made ya:::
Kobe: 5
the tired old bag Duncan: 4
quicker than a rabbit gets ed.
They should amnesty Kobe instead.
Some of them (like the beans who live in West Phoenix) make their 7 kids skip meals so they can save their welfare check for a Kobe Bryant jersey

Isn't that how the Lakers usually acquire talent???
Helped when Ainge threw that ball into Elie's face way back when. Horry moved to take vengeance. "No, let him go." Elie said. Later on Horry showed up here where Ainge was the coach, and threw a wet towel in Ainge's face on the bench during a game. They ran 'em off to Los Angeles for Ceballos. Well, you know the rest of the story. Adelman begged, begged that rockhead CWEBB not to leave Horry. He wouldn't listen. Now, I want you to listen to this ing horn as that shot comes in...
good point. but as this year has proven, their supporting cast is so awful, that even a star studded team with dwight, pau, kirby barely squeaked in as a 7th seed. they're going to need a roster overhaul, not just swapping star for star. to have all those moving parts midseason is going to be rough, even for them
