What are you going to get for him? You need to find a playoff contender who needs a point guard and thinks Nash can maybe put them over the top this year, and then you need to fill the hole that Nash leaving creates in the lineup. You could probably get Paul Millsap if Utah doesn't think they're going to bring him back and then spin Pau off into a point guard(you could get Sessions back with Ben Gordon and maybe a pick or possibly Monta Ellis and Sam Dalembert), but it's unlikely that fixes the defense, which is the real issue.

I doubt anyone is going to offer anything for an old as shit point guard with multiple years left on his contract.

Toronto might be interested, but Nash turned down more money to come here so he could be close to his family. I think the chances of anything happening are slim.

Article discusses a three team deal.

Gasol to Boston
Pierce to Memphis
Gay to Lakers

Thoughts??

[MojoPin]

Pau looked like old Pau last night, but Rudy Gay would be a pretty nice piece. He would improve the overall athleticism immensely. I highly doubt Boston trades Pierce at this point though.

[King Sancho Fantastic]

If it were to go down, we'd be hung out to dry if Dwight doesn't resign. If he does, we'd have Dwight and Gay as a nucleus in 2014.

[e-monk]

still rather trade Dwight for Teague and Horford and picks

1. Pau Gasol to the Bobcats- Coming in at number one is a doozy of a rumor that would see Gasol exit the nightmare in Los Angeles to head to a brand new nightmare in Charlotte. The Bobcats would send back DaSagana Diop, Ben Gordon and a draft pick to acquire Gasol, all pieces the Bobcats would currently list as expendable. The Lakers could benefit from acquiring another guard with perimeter skills, particularly coming off their bench, but bringing in Diop is simply to get an expiring contract. His $7 million deal would come off the Lakers books in the summer and the team would benefit from having Charlotte’s pick in the draft to add some young talent to an otherwise aging squad.

As for the Bobcats, they acquire an all-star caliber front court player to partner Bismack Biyombo and improve their options around the basket for the next season and a half before his $19 million a year expires.

Just another rumor. That pick makes it intriguing though. I believe they're currently sitting on the 2nd pick and the 13th pick.

Maybe they do that deal if they go on another big losing binge before the deadline, otherwise it's a possibly mediocre 1st round pick + filler for one of the best post players in the league. That wouldn't seem to be a good move unless there is no hope left.

[e-monk]

yeah that's horrible

[Bogg]

That's going to depend on how the Lakers do this month. If they're 8 games under .500 at the all-star break they may move Gasol for a draft pick and a Jodie Meeks upgrade, but if it appears that they're figuring things out I imagine LA largely stays put.

[e-monk]

have they found their stretch 4 of the future? is that too soon?

[Jamel Irief]

Between Clark, Hill and that douche in the headband I like our young frontcourt players. Ebanks had a great preseason even. If they're looking for "future" players they need to focus on the backcourt. Morris isn't good enough to play more than 15 minutes a game and Meeks is just good for shooting and hustling.
