chw42 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:17 AM) But his contract is up this year, he's tall, he plays C, and Dalembert is a free agent. They still have Spencer Hawes. So I'm not sure Kaman would be a necessity. Dalembert didn't even play for Philadelphia last year, so I'm not sure how he fits into all of this.

chw42 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/21422...nnesota_For_2nd Pacers are offering Hibbert + their 15th pick for the second pick of the draft. They're really going for it. If they do get the pick, they're probably going to pick Williams (assuming he's still there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) Maybe that's it. He busts his ass. He's not a lazy slouch wasting his talents. But he doesn't work on the areas he needs to work on the most. That's what I was thinking. I don't think his work ethic is necessarily the problem. Against the Bulls, he was playing the entire game, then guarding D-Rose for the last 5. You have to be in some kind of great shape to do that. Maybe he doesn't seem to realize that it's about more than staying in shape, you also have to specifically work on certain elements of your game to improve. If he thought the Decision was a good idea, I wouldn't put this past him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Some people around LA are talking about the Lakers and Minny trying to work out a trade involving Gasol. It has to be the most lopsided trade ever but I've heard some good NBA people on the radio commenting on it and they are indicating it has legs. Cowherd has been yapping about it this AM too. Gasol for Love and the #2 pick. That is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a Timberwolves fan and somehow stuck with them the past few seasons, that trade would turn me off from the franchise for the next 5 seasons at the very least.

No joke. They just need to move to Seattle now and get it over with because that franchise is DOA if that deal happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I still can't possibly believe it. I could see a Gasol for Love deal but not adding a first rounder to boot. My guess is that is how much it would take for the Lakers to make the deal, where the Wolves would prefer the pick plus fillers for Gasol. Just depends on how badly Minny wants to pair Gasol up with Rubio. I think they believe Gasol would make Rubio much more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Turning Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Marc Gasol and a couple picks into Pau Gasol, winning a couple rings, then turning Paul Gasol into Kevin Love and Derrick Williams (or whoever), would be pretty epic. On just about the same level as turning Gio Gonzalez into Nick Swisher then turning Nick Swisher into Jeff Marquez and him returning to the Yankees.

Steve9347 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I heard about this trade a couple days ago. If Hahn wants to commit both team and career suicide, then he can go ahead and make this deal. I don't think even he is crazy enough to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Relax people. Kevin Love is not going to be a Laker. It's just a rumor, one that's several days old at that. The Lakers made a ridiculously lopsided offer, the T-Wolves countered with just the #2 pick and we're sitting here with nothing happening. But of course the Lakers are one of the glamour teams so the media keeps reporting it slanted towards them as opposed to the team that virtually no one cares about.

He isn't gonna come out and promise big changes because if he can't make a big move, he'll look like an idiot. JR even said the Bulls need a much better scoring 2-guard, so I think they make a move, how big is relative. I don't think it's Dwight big, but a guy like Jason Richardson would still be a big move, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The Bulls won 62 games this year. This isn't a team that needs a drastic set of changes. They need improvement at 1 starting position. That's not a drastic change. A drastic change is what happened to the post 2007 Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
