Trade Rumor: Pau for Amare - Page 2 - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

I didn't see any sources mentioned anywhere, so I am calling "bullshit."

**Jamel Irief** · 11-27-2012, 06:14 PM

Won't happen. Can some other team create drama somewhere? Media can't go a couple days without getting bored and making up stories.

I wouldn't exactly call "hoopsvibe" the media.

Mitch is too smart to make such a dumb move.

e-monk · 11-28-2012, 07:06 AM

what about for David West?

West isn't an upgrade over Pau. It's a lateral move to a half-step back.

it's a better fit - he plays more like a PF because he is a PF plus he's physically and mentally tougher (apparently)- only problem is he's even older than Pau

West is also a lethal mid range shooter, which would really help the floor spacing.

What do you guys think about David Lee? He doesnt play defense, but he is a great mid range shooter.

.

this bit especially

Wilt_The_Stilt · 11-28-2012, 11:58 AM

No to West.

Can't pass like Pau, can't post like Pau, can't play center like Pau and is slower. He is a better mid range shooter but not enough to make a difference.

**Bogg** · 11-29-2012, 10:01 AM

Pau is, easily, the better all-around player. I like West, I think he was a great signing for Indy, and I think he's a nice starting role-player, but Pau can still be a viable number two for stretches.

Reportedly, the rumors about a possible Gasol for Stoudemire swap have no merit according to Marc Berman of the New York Post:

There’s been speculation there were talks between the Lakers and Knicks about a Stoudemire-Pau Gasol trade but a source claims nothing took place.
