Lakers Rebuild

S&T Dwight and 48th pick to LAC
Bledsoe, Griffin, and 25th pick to LAL

Play out 20 games into the season and let Gasol get back to 20/10/5. Then shop him around for a future guaranteed lottery pick (protected 1-3 and 15-30) and fillers.

Kobe will be out for probably about 30 games, and Nash will probably miss 40 games again this season. So tank out the season and target Andrew Wiggins in the 2014 draft.

Heading into the 2014-15 season with a core of Wiggins, Griffin, and Bledsoe and the pick from the Gasol trade; the team will be young and probably still two years from actual contention, so go for a lottery pick of our own again.

Going through this process will give the Lakers a LeBron-Kobe-Durant type player in Wiggins. The Bledsoe-Griffin package keeps the Lakers selling tickets through the rebuild, and the other two lottery picks should be used to take a new shooting guard and a center. In two years the Lakers should be in contention again.

Fire D'Antoni

Hire one of three (Byron Scott, Brian Shaw or Avery Johnson) Given up on Phil coming back

Trade Howard for Griffin, Bledsoe and 25th pick

Trade Blake to Blazers for the 39th pick

(ETO) MWP

Trade Nash to Raptors for pick next year (2nd Round) does not matter just need his 9 mil off the books

Pick up the option on Meeks

Free Agent Signings

O. J. Mayo
Paul Millsap
C. J. Watson



25th pick (Tony Snell)
39th pick (Livio Jean Charles)
48th pick (Pierre Jackson)

PG - Bledsoe, Watson, Jackson
SG - Bryant, Mayo, Meeks
SF - T. Snell, L. Charles
PF - Griffin, Millsap
C - Gasol, Hill, Sacre

Griffin, Gasol, Bledsoe, Millsap, and Mayo will have to hold down the scoring until Kobe gets back

Also sets us up to add piece and build with some cap space after 2013-2014 season

Why would Blazers want Steve Blake. No team will trade a 2nd round pick for him. Unless you mean Blake Griffin. Then it is a fair trade for Portland.

No team will trade for Nash. You are stuck with him.

17 Jun 2013 17:55:27
Pau gasol for Nicholas batum

17 Jun 2013 17:55:09
Pau gasol for Evan turner lavoy Allen and spencer hawes

17 Jun 2013 17:41:29
If the Dwight to Clippers trade goes through, I don't see Griffin and Gasol working good together So trade Gasol to NYK for Chandler and Felton

I like the idea but idk if they'd agree

If Howard wants to walk let him. I'll take the cap space.

17 Jun 2013 12:20:51
Think about this.

2013/14 season, starting 5 stay. D12 signs 5yr (110mi)

Either buyout or trade duhon with steve blake for probably a late 2nd round pick let's say to DET for 56th pick.

Draft Peyton Siva with 56th pick.
Draft Carrick Felix with 48th pick.

Jamison and Clark will leave for more money elsewhere

Re-sign Morris and Goudelock to 1yr minimums

Sign Dorrell Wright to vet minimum

PG: Nash/Morris/Siva
SG: Kobe/Meeks/Goudelock
SF: MWP/Wright/Felix
PF: Gasol/Hill
C: Howard/Sacre

Now here is the good part.

Persuade Chris Paul to sign only 1yr with the Clippers, then join LAL in 2014 for max 4yr (80+mil)

Kobe's contract ends, and gets new 2yr 25mil
Pau's contract ends, and gets new 3yr 15mil

PG: Paul/Nash/Siva
SG: Kobe/Meeks/Butler
SF: MWP/Wright/Felix
PF: Gasol/Hill
C: Howard/Sacre

2014/15 salary
paul 20mil
kobe 12.5mil
pau 5mil
d12 20+mil
nash 9 mil

about 57.5 mil in starting 5 salary. That leaves about
12. 5 for role players

Reign Meeks to 2yr 3mil
Resign Hill to less money, 1yr vet minimum. if he walks, who cares.
wright will still be under mle at 3yr 3. 02 mil. so only about 1 mil.
Sacre is minimum about 1 mil
Siva is Rookie minimum less than 1 mil
Felix is rookie minimum less than 1 mil
Sign Jimmy Butler 3yr 15mil. (5mil each year)

Total Salary 2014/15 = about 68 mil. Under Salary cap

You get CP3,
Jimmy Butler give u perimeter defense, athleticism
Siva can develop under cp3 and nash
felix can develop under kobe, plays 2or3
Wright can play point forward, shoot the 3

rdp2401

Not possible

Why would any team give you a pick for Blake or Duhon? And why would Paul sign for only 1 year? Can you say unethical. If Paul signs for anything less than a max contract, it will raise eyebrows throughtout the league and they will be looking for anything fishy.

Jimmy Butler is not a free agent and can get more money in Chicago.

16 Jun 2013 23:58:57
Should we trade Gasol to Denver for Iggy? If so, this could be our lineup next year.

Randy Foye - Nash
Kobe - Meeks
Iggy - Dorrell Wright
Clark - Metta
Howard - Hill

Amnesty Blake

Gasol would be the perfect player to help develop McGee.

Will not be able to afford Foye.

Ok so I just looked over the Lakers cap and all the contracts they have for the 2012-2013 and the upcoming season (2013-2014). I saw that pau gasol is getting 20 mil while chris paul got 17 mil this year. I say trade gasol to cleveland for future 1st and 2nd round draft picks (2 or 3 of each)
and money. this will save the lakers 20Mil to sign cp3 then amnsty Mpw as he is getting old and has really lost his touch That will save about 8mil. then trade or release Steve blake since he has been injured a lot this year and chris duhon who barely played and that's if the lakers were winning or losing by 20. That total with mwps contract all traded away or amnastyed (idk how to spell it) will save about 15-16 mil d12 made about 19mil this year with that 16 mil we can go 3 mil over the salary (not the whole salary just the amount to sign d12 from the cash they get from the trades I just said And then sign jordan hill send daruis jonson odom to dleague and the sign the other rookies to 1-3 mil deals
LAKERS STARTING LINEUP IN 2013-2014
Pg Chris Paul
Sg Kobe Bryant (Most likely a player we sign for Mle in offseason0
Sf Earl Clark
Pf Jordan Hill
Center Dwight Howard
6th man Steve Nash
7th man Antwan Jamison
8th man jodie meeks
9th man Robert Sacre
10th man Daruis Moris
11th man Andrew gouldlock
12th man daruis jonson odom or someone we sign in fa for mle
THIS CAN HAPPEN MAKE IT HAPPEN MITCH!

Ok I made a mistake here this was my post but I forgot something, if u add up all the contracts Like cps and d12 and kobes along with nashs its a total 79 mil jordan hills contract is 3mil 82 mil
then with the rest of the roster taking 1-2 mil the total will be around 85-91 mil that's about 10 mil less then last year so this is good for A: the lakers sign their big man and star pg cp3
B: Cleveland get a big man (gasol) that they really needed C: Lakers get a little more cash for a sf or sg that can shoot ex like danny green or dorel wright D: Jordan Hill gets more playing time since he starts and he is a beast and u got to admit that. So there is my full "text" And yea I was the one that posted this in the first place!

Nobody is going to give you 1st rounders for Pau so, no this can not happen. #TryAgain

Idk if u have read some of the trade rumors that were going around about 1 of the lakers big men before we made the trade for d12. It was going to be a 3 team trade involving pau or bynum of the lakers and aderson varoje of cleveland and a 3rd team to help the salaries out. Cleveland wanted gasol or bynum in that trade And Cleveland would because their 1st rounders aren't going to be the top 10 picks because they will draft noel And their lineup will be kyrie, waiters. gee thomson varjeo just make thomson the 6th man and put gasol at the 5 or 4 So it can work and if the lakers would propose the offer cleveland would most likely take it imo

And imma reply to my own comment and i'm just going to say that this is ALL mostly correct Ex the contracts I searched the contracts for many players and I matched them up And anyway if gasol went to cleveland for 1st and 2nd round picks and money is great for both teams AS I have said before Cleveland gets a center that's allaround great He has post game can pass has a mid range jumper And lakers get money to sign cp3 And if cp3 takes 18-19 mil lakers would have 1 mil from gasols 20mil contract so before u say no one will trade future 1st round and 2nd round picks for a 32 or 33 year old all around great center/pf u must be dumb or just drunk or u have no basketball iq if u think gasol isn't valued by any team and of course cleveland would look at what gasol did for LA He came in under pressure like d12 and he helped kobe and the others on the team like ariza and fisher bring home 2 rings in 08-09 and 09-10 And cleveland would hope he can help the team do the same most likely they won't since the lakers roster back then a couple years back was a lot better then the cleveland roster Atm And I think this would be good for the lakers as they would save about 10 mil and that will lower the luxury tax and it won't matter since LA is one of the biggest markets out there and they will be able to go over the salary to sign kobe nash cp3 and d12 because Of the 400 MILLION! dollar tv contract withtime warner cable I think. SO this IS HUNDRED PERCENT POSSIBLE ITS JUST UP TO MANAGEMENT TO DO THE TRADES AND RELEASES FOR THIS TO HAPPEN!

Honestly I think all the people that have clicked the unbelievable key are just stupid or they hate the lakers for some reason because I provided certain proof and matched the contracts of the players involved and it all works out so I think the people that say it can't happen are people that don't wanna see it happen because they know if La gets cp3 and kobe and dwight on the same team that's a ring that's a better big 3 then the heats because we got A pg that control the pace of the game and create shots for KB since kb will most likely try to put less pressure on his achilles in the beginning of the season B: chris paul and d12 on the pick and role, if they switch the defenders chris paul will take it to the center or pf that is guarding d12 and cross his ass over and that's a easy 2 OR if they double cp3 he can just find Antwan Jamison or jodie meeks or steve NASH or any other 3 ball threats they will have next year open for 3 and leave the rest to the shooter. C : And kobe will have a improved backup to back him up since again he might not want to put AS Much pressure on his achilles which is most likely not true since he goes all out every game trying to get the W And imagine if the lakers sign a shooter like mike miller or kyle korver or someone like them with mle and start them at the sf damn that would be the easiest pick and roll game ever with cp3 kobe d12 and Even nash off the bench as 6th man getting doubled on the baseline or on top of the key and they have the court vision to find that open shooter and no one can say different SO this is the 4th time I prove a point and why this is possible and it can happen while that guy that said they won't trade 1st rounders for pau just talks random and doesn't realize that he is wrong So I hope this makes u all open your eyes and realize what is a possibility in the Off season this Year for the Lakers

I think the incentive for Dwight and Chris Paul to play together will be too much for not only the 2 players to put a price on it but also for the lakers to put a price on it.

Trades:

3 Team Trade: Lakers, Nuggets, Pelicans
Lakers Get: Wilson Chandler (DEN), Ryan Anderson (NOP)
Nuggets Get: Metta World Peace (LAL), Chris Duhon (LAL)
Pelicans Get: Pau Gasol (LAL)

2 Team Trade: Lakers, Thunder
Lakers Get: Thabo Sefolosha S&T (2 years, $3 million)
Thunder Get: Antawn Jamison S&T (1 year, $2 million)

DRAFT: Ryan Kelly (Pick 48) - 1 year, $400k

Amnesty: Steve Blake

(Re-)Signings:
- Dwight Howard: 5 years, $75 million -15,000,000
- Earl Clark: 3 years, $6 million -2,000,000
- Robert Sacre: 2 year, $1.5 million -750,000
- Darius Morris: 2 years, $2 million 1,000,000
- Andrew Goudelock: 1 year, $400k 400,000
- Chris Paul: 4 years, $55 million 13, 750,000

TOTAL SALARY: $90, 843, 163 (Roughly $10,000,000 less than the 2012-13 Salary)

LINEUP:
PG: Chris Paul - Steve Nash - Darius Morris
SG: Kobe Bryant - Jodie Meeks - Andrew Goudelock
SF: Wilson Chandler - Thabo Sefolosha

9: Jodie Meeks -10
10: Jordan Hill -10
11: Darius Morris -0
12: Ryan Kelly -0
RES: Andrew Goudelock -0
RES: Robert Sacre -0
RES: -

I would say this team would be able to win between 60-67 games in a regular season assuming injuries are minimal or even non-existent!

The nuggets get basically nothing in that trade

Why would Thunder do that trade? And Howard and Paul will get more than that.

Comments:

Not going to happen

I started reading the signings and stoped there. This guy has NO clue about how things work and needs to go back to playing video games.

Seriously no idea of how anything works that was a terrible chain of events that would shake the life out of the NBA

16 Jun 2013 06:06:12
-Lakers get Marion, 13th pick
-Dallas gets Duhon, 48th pick

-Lakers get 1st pick and Bledsoe
-Clippers get D12 (s&t)
-Cavs get Griffin

-Wolves get Gasol
-LA gets Williams, Barrea, Steinsma, Cunningham, and 9th pick.

-Amnesty Kobe

Draft
1st-Ben McLemore
9th-Cody Zeller
13th-Rudy Gobert

Bledsoe/Nash/Blake/Barrea
McLemore/Meeks
Marion/Williams/World Peace
Zeller/Hill/Cunninghan
Gobert/Steinsma

Tank 2014 and develop this team. Have Nash mentor Bledsoe and Marion help Derrick Williams find his role. Work Zeller and Gobert together inside for a younger version of the twin towers. Use Metta to get Gobert in the weight room and help him put on 20 pounds.

2014 Draft
1st-Andrew Wiggins

Bledsoe/Nash/Barrea
McLemore/
Wiggins/Marion
Zeller/Williams
Gobert/

Have Marion mentor Wiggins and Williams. Keep Nash to season Bledsoe one more year. (I see this team barely sliding out of the playoffs and getting a late lottery pick. ) Target a 6th man with this pick.

By 2015-16 I could see the Lakers as legitimate contenders with a lineup of Bledsoe, McLemore, Wiggins, Zeller and Gobert. This is the type of group D'Antoine likes to play.

This is obsurd

Just playing dumb!!

15 Jun 2013 05:26:41
Lakers off season
Clippers get
Howard/Blake
Lakers get
Bledsoe/Griffen/Crawford or Billups
then sign
Dalembert to vet min
resign Ebanks/Glock/Morris/Meeks

Line up
PG Nash/Bledsoe/Morris
SG Bryant/Crawford or Billups/ Meeks/ G-lock
SF MWP/Clark/Ebanks
PF Griffen/Hill
C Gasol/Dalembert/Sacre

Then next off season sign James or Anthony to pair up with Griffen and Bledsoe for the future. And resign everybody cheaper.

I'm sure Nike wants Lebron in LA. But Adidas wants Howard to remain in LA. So it will be interesting to see what happens. Can you imagine the type of contract Adidas will give Howard if he remains in LA? I'm guessing Adidas will offer Howard a lifetime deal similar to Rose in the neighborhood of $300 mil. If Howard lands in Houston he won't get anywhere near that. And when it comes to China, even with Lin and Yao connection to China it doesn't trump Kobe's/Lakers marketability in China. So when you hear these so-called NBA experts talking about Howard leaving LA because of the tax advantages in Texas ignore them. Because if these so-called experts aren't discussion shoe contracts and child support then they don't know what really impacts NBA superstar's decisions.

Lebron has won a title and the NBA along with the help ESPN has gone all out with a fullcourt press to improve his image. But it hasn't people still dislike Lebron even after winning a ring. Why? Because you can't have "The Decision" and go to a market like Miami and think your image will recover after that debacle. Say what you want about Howard and Dwightmare, Howard was smart enough to go to a major market. And if Howard remains in LA his stock will grow beyond Lebron's even without the likes of the ESPN and the NBA. The LA Market alone will do that. But when players are in Major Markets fans other Major Markets tend to like them. Plus Howard will be able to do something in LA that Lakers fans will appreciate, that is, Kobe transition to retirement. This will be a huge part of Howard's legacy.

We won't have enough cap space for a player like lebron James or even Paul George if we sign and trade Dwight. Better of if we just let him walk

15 Jun 2013 03:24:49
Keep the core even if D12 bolts out. Just add some cheap, good quality players. Amnesty MWP. Waived Duhon and Sacre. Sign Ronnie Brewer. Use the MMLE to Sign J. J. Hickson. Draft Ryan Kelly (48th Pick)

This will help a lot to keep the veteran's fresh.

Hickson and gasol would need more minutes. And I don't think hickson would accept MLE

Hickson would start over Kelly or Jamison. Also Brewer over Ebanks.

15 Jun 2013 03:18:44
Clippers receive Dwight Howard (S&T) & Moe Harkless
Magic receive Eric Bledsoe, Jodie Meeks & Jordan Hill
Lakers receive Blake Griffin & Arron Afflalo

Celtics receive Pau Gasol

We need Eric Bledsoe in this trade. He's a young athletic guard that can run and that's what we need

If Kobe retires, Lakers can sign Paul George as a free agent in 2015

Iguodala is a SG, how can the lakers play him in the 4

WOW! You made the Lakers the smallest team in NBA history!

14 Jun 2013 23:41:00
lakers offseason moves
1st trade-
heat get-duhon, mwp
lakers get-miller, cash considerations

reason:miller can play forawrd and we need a great three poin shooter.

2nd trade
lakers get-28th round pick
spurs get-hill

reason: assuming howard is healthy, we are perfect. in case he gets injured, gasol can play center. then, we need a young playre at least from late first round. so trade hill for the pick and give sacre more playing time. he's a budding player. great center potential.

let goudelock morris stay
sign ebanks to smaller contract.
keep dantoni

roster
PG-NASH/BLAKE/GOUDELOCK
SG-BRYANT/MEEKS/MORRIS
SF-MILLER/CLARK/EBANKS
PF-GASOL/JAMISON
C-HOWARD/ (GASOL)/SACRE

threepoint specialists-blake, meeks, miller
can shoot threes-nash, bryant, glock, morris, jamison, clark

if things go well, lakers stay healthy, we have achance for the title.

do not tade nash. this may be his last year for the ring. let him play.

kb4mvp

14 Jun 2013 16:23:14
The post below is believable except for 3 and 9. Instead of trading Gasol. Keep him in his last year.

14 Jun 2013 14:58:05
First Things First!
1. Amnesty Kobe Bryant. (We are now under the cap) (Resign in 2014)
2. Make a run for CP3
3. Trade Pau Gasol for best package. (Wolves - Derrick Williams 9th pick)
4. Trade Steve Blake for future second round pick/s.
5. Waived Duhon, Meeks, Ebanks, and Sacre.
6. Resign Morris, Goudelock, Clark, and Jamison.
7. Sign O. J. Mayo
8. Sign Ronnie Brewer.
9. Draft C. J. McCollum (9th Pick)
10. Draft Ryan Kelly (48th Pick)
11. 56 million dollars (Still under the cap)
12. After D12 see this scenario, he will surely re-sign.

Lakers 2013-2014 Line-Up
PG CP3/Nash/Morris
SG Mayo/McCollum/Goudelock
SF Clark/MWP/Brewer
PF Kelly/Williams/Jamison
C Howard/Hill

Lakers 2013-2014 Salary: Approximately 76 million dollars

Wolves are not trading for Gasol. Get over it Laker fans. You are not getting a lottery pick or a good young player for Gasol.

The Lakers GM is making the biggest mess up ever they should keep Kobe and get CP3 and keep D12

It's The Lakers one word "DYNASTY" NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE thEY got Kobe, shaq, Malone, The CAP, GP, ETC.

samakyahwa

We are not under the salary cap if we amnesty Kobe. Amnesty helps the luxury tax but not the salary cap itself. This is misconception that even the media doesn't correct.

Kobe is the best laker of all time. it's impossible to see kobe amnestied by the lakers GM and with another team. it is better to get rid of howard instead and of kobe.

-get lost!-

I don't think we can trade coaches.

Why would we trade 3 of our role players for someone who will ride the bench. And no we won't trade gasol for allen

Championship Team

PG: Nash/Morris/brooks
SG: Bryant/Brooks/meeks
SF: Wallace/Smith
PF: Smith/Clark/Jamison
c: Howard/Hill

Trade: Gasol, Duhon, Ebanks to Brooklyn for Wallace & Brooks.
Cut MWP and rest of the players
Sign josh Smith (atl)
Keep Dwight.

LA Lakers 2013-2014 Roster Prediction

Starting 5
C-Dwight Howard
PF-Pau gasol
SF-Earl Clark
SG-Kobe Bryant
PG-Steve Nash
-------------
-Andrew Goudelock (6th man)
-Antawn Jamison
-Jodie Meeks
-Ronnie Brewer
-Dorrell Wright/Mike Dunleavy Jr/Anthony Morrow
-Jordan Hill
-Darius Morris
-Brandon Paul
-Robert Sacre

*MWP is either Amnestied/Opt out his contract
*Chris Duhon & Steve Blake will be traded for 2nd round picks

I don't think you can get 2nd round picks for either Duhon or Blake.

Someone shoot me goudelock is our 6th man

This is the most realistic scenario I've seen on this page

Goudelock 6th man?
why not? he is the d-league MVP
he may have atleast 12pts per game if he could play 20 plus minutes.

Lakers 2013-14 Important Roster

1) CP3 / Blake
2) Kobe / Mayo
3) Ariza / Korver
4) Smith / Clark
5) D12 / Hill

Coach : George Carl

Not Unbelievable

blackmamba

Lol I'm glad you're joking

Your right not unbelievable, its impossible!!
I have 2 words for you SALARY CAP!

Why? Its Possible.

blackmamba

The Lakers can barely resign Howard, let alone sign CP3 for the Money he wants AND pay Mayo enough to be a backup to Kobe

U need 2 pay cut other players

If Dwight signs, trade pau to the cavs for a player and a no 1 draft pick, or the pick by itself, since the cavs need someone of pau's skills of they want to be serious playoff team

Sign Josh smith to a 3/4 year deal so Dwight cab be happy

Buy off some contracts, give rid of mwp

With room to sign a player get iggy and a couple of good young cheap role players

With the no 1 pick get best player, maybe a pg or sg

At the same time the team not only got younger but better

Big papi 909

Cavs will not trade the no 1 pick for Gasol. Lakers will not get a lottery pick for Gasol.

Trade gasol to the bobcats

this is a reply to the reply to my previous post
the bulls do this to protect themselves form their own often injured big man. they can give each a bit more rest and allow them to stay healthy (all three bigs) and play at a higher level at their older ages (gasol, boozer) a la tim duncun (and we've seen the success that that has had this year)

I believe the lakers need a guy like Andre igudola
He is athletic, decent shooter, loves to run, young, and a good defender. I think we need to trade gasol to free up cap space & amnesty meta
When kobe went down and there was no Nash none of the guards could create their own shot. We need one more good perimeter player.

Trade

Gasol, darruis morris, to the sixers
11 pick to the laker

Sixers need a big man and are desperate enough I think to do this

We could take a shabazz, cj McCollum, or maybe even Denis Schroeder

With the 2nd round pick we could try and take a pg or a sg depending on where they go with the first pick

Pick up Evan turner in that trade

He has been on the Nuggets for a full season. Nice try lol

Gasol is not worth a lottery pick to anyone.

He is a free agent

He was with the nuggets last season but is now a free agent

I don't understand why people say gasol is horrible. He just got a lot of touches taken away from him by Dwight and Bynum. He is a great passer and can be a good pf

For all u persons that say gasol sucks have no bball iq because he helped kb and fisher and ariza to those 2 rings and without him the lakers would maybe beat the celtics in those finals he is a 7 ft center/pf that has a post game great passer and has a mid range jump shot he can rebound and defend so stfu and stop hating on gasol

If Houston is willing to give up T-Rob and Dallas is willing to give up the 13th pick LA should agree with the two teams to not resign Dwight and allow those two to fight it out for Dwight. So.


Dallas gets 2 future 2nds
LA gets the 13th pick (Shabazz Muhammad)

Houston gets a trade exc. and the 48th pick
LA gets Thomas Robinson


Then trade Gasol to Charlotte for Ben Gordon, Tyrus Thomas, and the Detroit pick (Charlotte does this to lose Gordon and Thomas only for one year of Gasol's contract. )

Amnesty Kobe
(Do this because it is time for the Lakers to move on. Allow him to go to a contender to get his sixth ring. It's just not going to happen without Dwight and with this aging roster.

Sign and Trade Earl Clark anywhere for a future 1st.

Trade Nash to Golden State for a future 1st

Sign Morris, Goudelock, and Sacre to 1 year deals

Blake/Duhon/Morris
Muhammad/Gordon/Meeks/Goudelock
MWP/Muhammad
Robinson/Thomas
Sacre/Hill


Try to get the number one pick and draft Wiggins. Then use the Detroit pick to draft Kyle Anderson (who I think could be a poor man's Magic Johnson)

In 2014 if everything goes right the starting lineup could be.
1)Kyle Anderson
2)Shabazz Muhammad
3)Andrew Wiggins
4)Thomas Robinson
5)Robert Sacre

Why would Golden State give up a first round pick for Nash? I don't think you will get a first round pick for Clark. And Charlotte will not give up their Detroit pick for Gasol. Nice try Laker fans, but try again.

Try a top 55 protected pick for Nash.

Gasol to Charlotte won't work anyway because they are rebuilding. Try this

Gasol to the Bulls
20th pick, Villenuava, 8th pick to LA
Deng to the Pistons


I think with all of the cap room we should keep Clark.

I don't think any other team beaides Charlotte makes those trades

This has to be the worst roster i've ever seen. Makes no sense to go from a playoff team to a rebuilding team with no chance to make the playoffs. Tickets would not sell because there are no stars. Basically we would become the Charlotte Bobcats

The more I watch the Spurs the more I think we should re-sign Howard and keep Gasol. We should amnesty Artest because he's turned into the Ron that you don't want on the team. He can't defend, can't shoot and spends most of his time talking to the media which the Lakers don't need at this point. If we get an athletic point guard to backup Nash and an athletic 3 to backup Clark we'll be fine next year.

We should try to sign Dorrell Wright if possible and Randy Foye. Grab Ryan Kelly if he still available with our second round pick.

If I'm an FA this summer I'd try to sign with the Lakers because next year they'll have plenty of cap space.

Nash - Foye or CJ Watson
Kobe - Blake
Clark - Wright
Gasol - Kelly
Howard - Hill

I like it. The Lakers might run-off 2 or 3 championships the next 4 to 5 years. The Lakers with cap space is scary for the rest of the league. Jim Buss gets bashed a lot but people forget that he did trade for Howard and CP3. So Laker fans should give him a chance to see what he can do.

Trade gasol, Meeks, Blake, Clark, 48th pick for danny granger and lance stephenson

The pacers are getting nothing. they will resign david west. (no need for gasol) everything else is chump change. For two pacers starters? dream on
