Trade Smith for Gasol

[plato]

If the Hawks aren't going to resign Smith for 11+ million, they might as well sign and trade him for a legit big man. Gasol is one of the better centers in the league and he's still fairly young.

Gasol

Horford

Marvin

JJ

Gasol runs the floor well and is also a very good passer. He'd be ideal in the fast break game the Hawks should run. The Lakers would do it as well.

The Hawks will resign Smith. Don't worry so much.

I like Gasol, but not as a 5. He reminds me WAY too much of Zaza in the sense that he's at least 6'11 but it way too soft. I, too, think we will re-sign Smith.

I think Kindred Perkins reminded us of how weak Gasol is! The old grass is greener syndrome is in full effect for guys like Gasol, Jefferson, & Lamar Odum

I don't think the Lakers would do that trade. He would not fit into their offense. Not disciplined enough.

No thanks. Gasoft = no D. We need more of a defensive and rebounding physical center.

Gasol is a legit 5 to me. People are dogging him a little too much because of the finals. Okay, so he couldn't outclass a possessed Kevin Garnett. If I had a nickel for every player who you could say that about, I could personally pay for the Josh Smith re-signing. He's still a great player and made the Lakers a true championship contender.

Gasol is soft as baby [censored].It don't matter who he went against.If someone touched him he backed up,he aint going to the rim.He's a big reason they lost.He's one of the Lakers biggest trademark softies from that series.
