This is the only Rudy Gay trade I'm for midseason. We remain contenders this season and save money next season.

Still feel Dwight should not be in the All Star game

Is Rudy Gay a good fit for the Lakers?

I don't really see a realistic situation where anyone benefits from that Memphis/LA/Boston trade. Celtics get worse, Grizz gets worse and LA gets worse.

Well no matter what, when the Grizz trade Rudy they'll get worse. They're trying to shave money so don't expect them to get equal value in return. Except in this scenario they don't actually get that much worse. Rudy seems to be devolving a bit. PP could still keep them in the hunt.
I could see Pau turning into an All-Star again. He just needs a change of scenery. He needs touches in the paint and he needs ball movement. The Celts would provide all of that for him.
LA would get worse IMO. Even though Gasol for whatever reason has turned soft over the past 2 or 3 years, he's still 7 foot and is still skilled as ever. Mentally he just needs an adjustment and his past coaches haven't put him in positions to thrive. Gay would bring relative "youth" and athleticism but his jumper is really shaky. Or at least from what I've seen of him this season.

Would be weird seeing Pierce in another uniform.

I know the Grizz are in a lose/lose situation but they need to think upside. Trade for younger players, I'm just saying. I still don't see Boston as a positive place for Pau considering the kind of player KG is (Pau but so much better it's funny), I'm not sure if they need him. LA needs a big man in return for Pau, period, and Rudy's game doesn't complement anyone on the roster's game whatsoever.

Yeah Memphis could opt for younger players but I wouldn't blame them for going after PP since his contract isn't fully guaranteed past this season. That way they could still stay in the hunt but have the option of parting ways with him after the season.
KG would be a great teammate for Pau and would probably toughen him up. KG doesn't post up anymore which would allow Pau to become the primary post presence. That's when Pau is at his best, check the last two titles LA won. When Bynum was limited because of his knee, Pau became the center and dominated. When Bynum came back healthy, Pau's production went way down and he became a forgotten man. Same thing happened when Howard came to town.

I think Pau would be a good fit for Boston and an improvement there. LIke's been said already, Grizzlies are making a trade expecting to lose talent because they want to trade Gay's contract, and Pierce nets them an expiring and a veteran who would be productive and good for their team. The Lakers would get younger, but Pau is a better player than Rudy and I'm not sure another wing scorer is going to make the team any better. Unless they're trying to think ahead and want to build around Dwight and Rudy?

Even if he's traded, he can always sign then immediately retire a Celtic.
I think it would be hilarious, please get traded

Pau's thing is all about consistency..
If he's consistent the Lakers won't trade him.. If he's inconsistent, they'll move him.

Probably not. I'm going with my girl, so I'm just trying to be an innocent bystander not trying to prove anything.
Just wanna watch a game, have some beers, and chill. It's been awhile. Plus, all the damn Blazers games are blacked out in Seattle so I haven't been able to really see Portland play this year.

Why not?
I get there has been inconsistency, and he hasn't been nearly as dominant as he was 2 years ago..
But he's 1st in Rebounds, 5th in Blocks, 4th in FG%.. And at the time of the selection was 2nd in Center Scoring. After 3 bad games is at 5th now.
Not to mention he plays on a popular franchise, and is a popular player.

Pierce is one of those players that I can't see in another uniform 
Pau in Boston would be a good look for him & the team... KG could toughen him up & they'd get a lot of post play from him which would be benificial for both.
Rudy on the Lakers doesn't seem like a good fit to me.
