Watching this Clippers game. Never really noticed how awful their announcers are. Any time Blake touches the ball, they think there's a foul.

Heard this rumor getting floated around. Probably wont happen but just a rumor.
Lakers get: Anderson Varajeo
OKC gets: Paul Gasol
Cavs get: 2 First round picks in 2013 and PJIII

Word doesn't seem very logical but mad rumors are constantly being created.

I honestly hope whoever created that rumor wasn't from a "reputable" company.
It's so absurd that it isn't even fathomable the insane stupidity behind that rumor.

If this happens it'll be the first time the Lakers finally don't get the best player in the deal. If Pau goes to OKC, it's a wrap!
If that were to happen, do you guys think Pau would be the center for OKC with Perk coming off the bench?

No way that goes down unless the cavs throw in Thompson or Waiters to the Lakers. C'mon now
I CAN see the Lakers trading Pau in the off-season. Let's see how this season goes, I can see a trade happening for a bench player, or possibly even a starter. Most trades nowadays are 3 team deals. I really feel bad for Philly in the 3 team deal when they got Bynum and we got Howard, and Bynum hasn't even played a single game due to injury. I almost feel bad for the 76ers.

at thinking we're going to pay Pau ~40 mil over the next 2 yrs when we were too cheap to give James ~60 over 4. I could see us making a deal for Andy though, but no chance we're bringing Pau's sometimes *** in to be the highest paid player on the team.And that rumor doesn't even have us getting rid of Perk or ANY salary so it puts us massively over the cap. Assuming Pau starts at the 5, then Ibaka stays the 4 and Kd the 3, that would be almost 50 million between our starting frontcourt alone, then between Martin and Perkins coming off the bench, 20.7 mil more right there for 2 more players. Already into the tax with just those 5. Rumor doesn't make sense from any angle other than the Lakers kind of win as always by getting rid of a guy they aren't high on at the moment

I know...just had me thinking how stacked that OKC team would be and was wondering where Pau would really fit in with that squad.

Z I think you are looking at the rumor from an entirely awkward perspective. In what way do the Lakers win in that nonsense rumor

It would be ridiculous. If the Lakers were to make that trade, Mitch and Jim would never make it out of LA

I guess everyone loses then, but getting rid of Pau would be a plus. Cleveland gets younger and gets our Toronto pick so that would help them get younger, while also sucking more since AV contributes to the minimal amount of success they do have, and get to get more picks and losses out of it.Z I think you are looking at the rumor from an entirely awkward perspective.

But yea, no way that trade would even be discussed. I was just looking at the OKC perspective, how we bringing in 19mil in salary without sending any out when our offseason made it clear we are not trying to pay any tax. Pau for Perkins and Kevin Martin wouldn't happen, but at least makes sense financially

Trade no way goes down, and this just proves it.
I know teams want Andy but we'll see if the Cavs sack up and deal him.

^^^The Clippers' play-by-play guy, Ralph Lawler, has been announcing for 40 years and is widely respected in the industry. The color guy, Mike Smith, not so much. I've grown used to Smith at this point, but if they decided to replace him, I wouldn't miss him. At all. But Ralph is the man.

Color as in color announcer. There is always a play by play announcer partnered with a color announcer.
