would you guys include OG in a trade to get Gasol or DJ? Personally I would rather not.

I don't know if anyone mention this but, DJ hired an agent a couple days ago. After being without one for 2 years. If DJ is traded and it's not here. I hope he doesn't go to those other eastern conference teams mentioned. I believe Bucks/Wiz would be better than the raps with a DJ addition
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports DeAndre Jordan will no longer be representing himself: "The hiring of an agent can be a facilitator for teams wondering whether Jordan would have interest in signing with them long term should they trade significant assets to the Clippers to acquire him."
That's diplomatically phrased, but what Jordan's decision to hire Jeff Schwartz after going without an agent for two years really means is this: DJ's got a back channel open now. He can effectively tell certain teams to forget about making a deal and encourage others to pull the trigger.
"I'll let (the front office) handle what they handle," Jordan told Sam Amick of USA Today. "That's out of my control, so I'll focus on what I can control. Like I said, I'm happy being here and you know, we'll see what happens. If they come to me and they want to talk about (a possible trade), we can talk about it, you know? I don't believe nothing in this league until it happens."
Jordan's a good bet to hit free agency this summer via an opt-out clause. With his 30th birthday coming in July, it makes sense for DJ to forego the final year of his current deal, valued at $24.1 million, and try to snag one last fat multiseason payoff before he exits his prime.
Potential suitors, of which there are many, can now get a sense of Jordan't thinking through his agent.
Longtime Bucks writer Gery Woelfel lists Milwaukee as an interested party, along with the Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards and Minnesota Timberwolves. Instead of egregiously tampering by talking to Jordan directly, those teams can now less egregiously chat with Schwartz.
Whether any of those teams wind up swinging a deal for Jordan remains to be seen, but it's becoming increasingly clear that (a) the reeling, banged-up Clippers should trade him, and (b) Jordan is acting like someone who believes a move is possible.@Chr1st1anL

He'll make a strong move and then put up some awkward looking shot or make a bad turnover. He's not terrible by any stretch but he doesn't strike me as a consistent, reliable player. He also doesn't really fit with what the Lakers are trying to do....

I actually think Memphis will end up trading Gasol this season or at least heavily shopping him. They're 8-19 now with the 4th worst record in the league. You're not recovering from that to make the playoffs in the west, so the smart move would be to sell on Gasol (and Conley), grab some young guys or picks and tank the rest of the season to ensure a very high draft pick.
