Adam_Magic 56 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 With Memphis having another awful season alot of talk has centered around going in a new direction and trading Pau. I think he would be the perfect PF to compliment Dwight, my question is, with the improved play of Carlos, Hedo and our expirings do we have a shot at acquiring Gasol? The only stumbling block is the fact they have a potential stud in Gay at SF already so Hedo may not be as attractive to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gporter 5 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 The only person I would trade hedo for is Michael Redd, who is on the trading block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soul Bro 1,422 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I doubt they would do it, Adam, b/c of Gay. Maybe it could be done via a 3 team trade. But would I trade Hedo for Pau? Yes, all day. Junkie, as for Darko, anyone can talk smack. Who's starting and who's riding the pine in Memphis? I am so thankful that slug is no longer on our team.

Nick Anderson 4 President 9 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Adam, I just posted an idea about getting Redd on our squad, but I think getting Gasol is another great idea that would help out the Magic tremendously. My only question is would we have the right pieces that Memph would actually want and if so who? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, all day. Yeah, I'd consider that trade, too. And if Otis is also aiming for it then maybe SVG should start "showcasing" Turk at the SG-spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Anderson 4 President 9 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 The reason I don't think a trade between us for Gasol wouldn't go down is because they had the chance to trade him to the Bulls....with all the talent on the Bulls the Grizz could have gotten back anyone they really needed because the bulls are loaded at each position. Why would they rather trade to us as opposed to bulls?...which makes me think, hmmmm...Is there any possible way we could make a trade with the bulls??? Hmmm...wouldn't a trade for say a tyrus thomas and duhon be nice for our team too? Hmm would something like this be possible?..sure would be nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I agree NA4P. That is the exact reason a trade like this won't happen. While the Grizz wouldn't get Deng, Gordon, and a 1st rounder or anything that has been talked about before, they would certainly get a better deal elsewhere with a team even more desperate for a star player.

True. Pau is definitely a long shot. But the trade-talks between the Bulls and the Grizz went down before the season. At that time the Grizz still considered themselves a fairly good team. Gasol, Gay, Miller, Conley and the additions of Darko and coach Iavaroni looked pretty solid on paper. Now that they are in rebuild-mode they might consider a trade with us....
