ESPN Insider - Why a Millsap-Gasol trade works

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

Yeah we're totally going to hand Millsap to the Lakers. "So Lakers, rock bottom? Over the cap? Need a mid-range power forward to play with Howard? Well here's Paul Millsap! All we ask for in return is Gasol and the ability to trade Jefferson and Kanter to the Bobcats."

Fixed.

I don't recall Haberstroh being so stupid in the past.

Wow I didn't even notice Jefferson involved in this. Yeah we hate having this logjam so much, we'd rather have massive hole at the bigs position

Step 1: Trade away three of the four big men while getting a soft PF in return.
Step 2: Depend on a raw 21-year old on offense.
Step 3: Get Alek Radojevic to come out of retirement so we'd actually have a starting centre. He knows the system.

what the hell?

Millsap for Gasol?

Is Jerry West GM of the Utah Jazz now?

[CitizenofCapua]

There it goes.. Lobbying activities of make an awful trade look like a subtle move for Jazz through the media (espn) & its ****y article writers. You gotta save Lakers right?

I have been watch the Bobcats for fantasy basketball reasons this year. Kemba Walker has been fantastic. He is posting a PER of 19.1. By comparision Mo has a PER of 9.4.

I like the idea of getting Gasol. But if we are giving up Millsap and Jefferson we have to keep Kanter. If we replace Kanter with Burks I would seriously consider this. Or we could replace Burks/Kanter with some draft picks.

Our main rotation could be

Kemba/Watson
Foye/Hayward
Marvin/Hayward
Favors/Kanter
Gasol/Kanter

If we give up Burks we can replace him in the draft. Ideally we would need one more big for depth but picking up the 'point guard of the future' to go with Kanter/Favors/Hayward would be worth it in my opinion.
