After the Lakers recently made it clear that they were actively shopping Gasol, the rumor mill has been churning out interested teams left in right. Among the reported teams in the hunt for the big man are the Atlanta Hawks, New Orleans Hornets and Grizzlies. All of the reports, however, have been speculation until the former NBA Insider Peter Vecsey broke the news of the Grizzlies offering up Randolph.



Had not heard this yet, but if speculation of 3 teams became fact for one, who knows.

Any deal would certainly have to involve Lewis (and the simple fact that we haven't cut him yet speaks volumes on our future, Benson must have given the OK to take back a good amount of salary for Lewis if it helps us). I don't know if I like it or not, but something like Lewis + 10 for Gasol would sure as shite make us a better team.

DO NOT WANT

Gasol will be so disinterested if he went to the Hornets after playing for the Lakers. I wouldn't be surprised if he retired after being traded here. No way in hell is he worth giving up a top 10 pick in a rebuilding year.

Good player but doesn't make any sense for building.

I wouldnt be totally against it, this move means we are trying to win now.If Gordon is the player I believe he is, I have no problem going for it. Demps would have to upgrade the small forward position also. Ive been going to Hornets games since they have come to New Orleans, and I am tired of 1st round exits and not making the playoffs.

I really think the #10 needs to be used to find the 3rd wheel, but if Demps doesn't think we'll get the 3rd star with the #10 then why not? I'd rather Gasol and playoff runs the next 2 years more than Zeller and being 10th in the West the next 2 years.
