Oh snap.

If they get Smith to buy in, it could be a huge addition.

If they still had Mike Brown or Phil Jackson I would say this trade never happens. But now, I think Smith can flourish in LA with D'antoni, Nash, and Bryant.

What would the Hawks serve to gain by making this trade? Also, that's the only source I've seen saying that a trade went down. Here's a quote from an article published not 10 minutes ago:
quote:

Gasol is sitting not because a trade involving the former four-time All-Star is in the works, according to multiple league sources. However, a source told ESPNLosAngeles.com that Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has recently spoken to Gasols representatives and the gist of the conversation was that if Gasol is unable to adjust to DAntonis system, the team will have no choice but to search for possible trade scenarios.

Oh lawd



I have Smith and Horford on two fantasy teams. I'd say this hurts both their values

Hmm, I sort of doubt the validity of this. I think it would be wise of the Lakers to wait til Nash returns to see how Pau gels with the offense, but I do think his trade is inevitable. There's too much baggage from his consecutive disappearing acts in the playoffs to overcome the funk he's in now.
