Deng for two time nba champion Shane battier
If Lakers make the deal contingent on signing an extension or new contract, its a great move
If the Warriors trade Lee, they dont make the playoffs
Maybe but they wouldnt last more than 1 series 2 tops. No dependable inside scoring.
I like that move TLF!
Although I hate the idea of being that mean to Pau!!

I know even though it would make us better on defense but we need more offense than we do need defense
There is someone out there willing to pay more for him than the Lakers, I don't think the Lakers should go after him. Why trade for a potential rental at the tradeline? It isn't like we are contenders this year. Unless trading Gasol for him gets us under the cap then I don't see the point.
Because it comes with in 3.0 million to being under the luxary tax which means one more small trade and the Lakers will not only avoid the repeater tax for being over the cap, but reset it for the next three years or so and Luol Deng is a target for the Lakers in the summer, any way, so why not bring him on board and see if he can change things around.
I agree the key is will the Lakers finally move Gasol or do they still want to keep him & sign him for cheap next season ? wich is irrelevant IMO, he needs a change of scene & I don't see him making us a contender again especially in Dumbtoni's system.
I don't think the Cavaliers will be allowed to trade Deng - Isn't there a minimum of 60 days before they can trade him again?
Cavs are stuck with that one
@TLF nobody is giving a 1st round pick for Gasol, unless they are dumb like cleveland...but is Cleveland that dumb?
@Repeater tax, you guys are under it next year even with Kobe's contract, you guys can't sign a butterfly at Center but if desired you are out of the tax.
@Deng changing things around...LOL no. He is a huge step in the right direction but honestly, this year just hope to get a good lottery pick. You really think Gasol, Deng and Sessions are going to get you out of the West? And if you aren't coming out of the West then get a good draft pick.
I disagree, I think a few teams still will want Gasol enough to give up a first round draft pick.
hmmm. I wonder if there is a playoff team that will make a move for him to see if they can be legit contenders.
Maybe a team like the Warriors if they have the pieces and stuff. Move Barnes off the bench and start Deng who is very good in an open court game.
