hehehe...

one or 2 of those DRAFT PICKS you're stockpiling should do...

Suns should be able to get someone better than that. Pau is good but he is 33. The Suns have a billion first rounders and a great expiring contract, right?

The ones that you gave us?

It would be Okafor and a first rounder most likely, though. I really hope we don't do this.

Pau and Frye down low? That might be the softest frontcourt in NBA history. Plumlee is doing just fine. Chemistry is too good to mess up right now. DONT DO IT MCDONOUGH!


@Clayton-

Yeah, they have 6 first rounders in the next two years and Okafor's expiring deal. They could do better.

lol i hear what you're saying. i'd say if it was me running the Suns FO i'd say "hell no" in a heartbeat. guess we'll see how this goes...

Throw in Dumbtoni and Steve Nash as well.

 

[Lone Granger]

Gasol is the final piece they need to win the championship. You gotta get him lol.

Ya ya I know, they beat Indy twice this year.

Nope. You take our rejects.... that's how it works. Wes Johnson, Kendall Marshall, Earl Clark, etc.

 

[trojanfight]

I would take one of the 1st round draft picks got ripped off in deal for senior citizen steve nash

 

[Orange602]

No thanks.

STILL have some hope for Johnson, the rest we'll see how it pans out...

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

I don't want Laker trash.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

I don't want Laker trash.

You guys are trash

 

[Retroram52]

Okafor and a number 1 will do.

 

[LogicMan]

the trade deadline is coming. If Pau is to be moved he needs to get healthy asap. i just dont see any team going after him with even a second rounder with his groin issue. I am surprised he was even still on the team after Kobe went down.

I am greedy - I say atleast one or two first round draft picks - forget the other guy - let gasol go strictly for the drafts and save the $$$ and get under the salary cap for now

 

[Kold]

If we get any kind of draft pick from this, then do it. If no other deal is there by the deadline, then we move him for pennies to get under the luxury tax

I was just looking at the stats for Okafor and his salary on hoopshype and I really don't see what would be in this for the Lakers. He is an expiring contract not worth the 14 million he is getting and the Lakers wouldn't even get a long term player back. The only way I would trade Gasol is for a first round draft pick from a non-playoff team and then tank the season which is most likely going to happen any ways

The Suns have several 1st round picks this season from other teams.....Just because it looks like they will make the playoffs doesn't mean it will be a late pick
