  • Bargnani to Lakers for Gasol. Other peices involved.

    http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/41956

    Was on ESPN and came across this. What do you guys think? I think it's crazy actually.

    Can bargnani be a good fit for a contender right now? can a contender team trade for Andrea before deadline?

    He would thrive in a Ryan Anderson type role. Lakers brass is considering shipping Pau and Fisher to Toronto for Bargnani and Calderon. Spurs are interested as well.

    Why would Toronto make a trade like that? Fisher is washed up and pau is getting old. How does that help their rebuild?

    Except that he's finally thriving right now in a lead role. If they've stuck with Bargs this long it makes absolutely no sense to move him now. Swapping Calderon for Fisher makes exactly zero sense as well. Joh Hollinger, trolling?

        Ya, that's not happening. Why would we want/need Pau (who is very soft and coming to mid/end of his career) when we have Jonas coming in next year?

        Fisher is a huge downgrade to Calderon.

          i like hollinger in that he looks at the statistical output from an objective perspective. but i reaaally find him lacking when it comes to REAL basketball & all it's machinations, specifically with things like trade scenarios. this is so silly, it's absurd. and that's coming from me, a bargs hater.

            because it's a move that would help LA, and that's all that matters?

            pau is only 31, so yeah, he's in the middle of his career, and has likely peaked, but he's not done. he just has no value on the raptors. and certainly including jose makes no sense...wouldn't any fake trade rumour be joining the two spaniards, not seeing them traded for each other?

              Bargnani's figure is more cap-friendly for his production. Gasol makes 19 million this season and the next 2 seasons after. No thanks. This trade doesn't even help Toronto.

                  Gasol earlier in his career was considered soft, but I don't say how you can say that now.

                            Rockets are a team with some assets we would actually want that I could see asking about Bargs

                              Ain't it funny that after 6 games people are scoffing at swapping the PF-PG combo from an NBA champion for Bargnani-Calderon. Maybe those two don't suck quite so much after all. Bargnani has always had talent, and he has never been a jerk. So it shouldn't be a real surprise that a good coach and the right role would allow him to thrive. Remember, the last couple of years he was asked to play the C position, which plays against his strengths. It's early, but it looks like Casey has figured out who Bargnani is as a player, and how to use him. As for Calderon, he has deficiencies on defence but over the past 3 years his Asst/TO ratio has been well above 4. Dude runs the offence, scores efficiently (0.574 career TS%, in Paul/Kidd/Nash territory) and doesn't squander possessions. An efficient offence that doesn't turn the ball over is important for defensive performance. He would absolutely kill it with the Lakers. Now, if only he could stay healthy...
