the trade offer is Gasol AND Bynum for Love and the #2 pick

LAL would take Williams from Arizona or Irving with the 2nd pick

Where did you hear that? They specifically said Bynum was not a part of this and were talking about the potential of a Bynum/Love frontcourt.

Trading Gasol and Bynum would be a bad move for LA, IMO.

If they know they're getting Irving with the second pick, then I could kind of see why they'd do it (Bynum can't be depended on health-wise anyway). But he seems Cleveland bound.

Either way, I don't see the Lakers as currently constructed as "finished" yet. They need a few tweaks, but no need for such a drastic, risky change.

You wouldn't trade the #2 pick for Gasol?

This is the weakest draft class in years. Not one player really has superstar status written on them. I would dump the #2 for Gasol in a heartbeat.

Gasol is still a top talent, who was a huge part of a title 2 seasons ago.

The #2 and Love? Well, that makes you think.

Yeah I dont see how Cleveland passes on Irving, possible the Lakers just absolutely love Brandon Knight?
Seems pretty far fetched as hes obviously a few years away

I'll agree it is the weakest draft in recent years. But I personally like younger players. And #s 1 & 2 are still ok picks imo.

No, but they did trade Garnett to the Celtics so they could make more trades, build up draft picks and draft a bunch of point guards.

nba.com

BOSTON - The Boston Celtics announced today that they have acquired 10-time All-Star and 2004 MVP Kevin Garnett from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Sebastian Telfair, a 2009 first round draft pick (top three protected) and a return of Minnesota's conditional first round draft pick previously obtained in the Ricky Davis-Wally Szczerbiak trade. Minnesota also receives cash considerations in the deal.

can that younger player put up 20/10?

is there one guy in this draft that anybody thinks will put up 20/10 for 3 years, let alone his entire prime?

I wouldn't trade Love for Gasol straight up. Kevin love is 22 Gasol is like in his 30's.
