Lakers: Pau for Amar'e trade in the works?

[Ice009]

Called it when the D'Antoni signing happened. Good move for the Knicks and a lateral move for the Lakers.

Would still be a better trade than then Josh Smith BS that Lakersground is calling for

I've been thinking of this trade too since D'Antoni was hired by the Lakers. If Amare is in good shape physically, then I think it's a possibility as he could be very good with Nash again.

Another one I think that would be something to look at is a is Kevin Love for Pau Gasol swap.

These are two trades that I think the Lakers should look at.

In all seriousness though, like DoK said, Amare basically looks done. Even if he comes back, he's still a huge uninsured injury risk/contract. I can't see this happening, but stranger things have happened. I would imagine that if Pau was truly on the table, it would be more for depth than "a singular star or name value".

Meaning I couldn't see him being traded for a guy like Amare, but a couple pieces that fit well and add to depth (even though Coach Dan doesn't really care too much for that) .

What's actually wrong with Amare? Is he that ed up?

As good as the Lakers FO is in arranging lopsided trades such in the past, i don't think Minnesota is gonna fall with that , atleast not yet, not this year. Even if K Love wants to play in LA badly and shows his preference openly, his position is very weak to demand a trade to his liking. Shouldn't take that last extension i guess, if money isn't everything for him.

D'antoni seems to have no faith whatsoever in Pau right now. I could see the Lakers trading him, don't know if Amare is the answer though.

Lakers should be going after someone like Scola....smart...rebounds...great passer...hits the 18' j...team first player. *edit: and he's gritty unlike Pau

It cracks me up that LA has Kobe Dwight Artest Pau and Nash....and its STILLnot enough. What other team has the luxury of that line up? In fact, the Thunder had to trade one of their big 3 because they couldn't afford him. But no, the poor lakers still need more help.

this is the reason why I hate the Lakers and their fans as much as I do. The spurs have stuck to their guns, for better or worse, and i doubt its always because Pop wants to keep everything they way they have it. I'm sure Pop would have loved to add a premier big man to this roster to help timmy, but he can't, so we work with what we get. The in Lakers have 3 MVPs, 4 DPOY's, and numerous all stars combined in their starting line up, and they about it.

That's because we DESERVE so much more...

Because fair weather fans only spend money to buy merchandise in order to attach their miserable lives to something successful.

Band wagoners don't like to pay money and still look like losers. What's the point of spending the money and not change a thing?

[Norris Cole]

I post an article saying the Lakers have interest in trading Gasol and some how this thread is still going...
