    Ideally for the cavs, they negotiate a buyout with Verajao and I think they can stretch provision him. It could save them 10s of $millions without giving up anything.

    What's a few draft picks, 1sts, worth to them?

    I wonder what else the Bulls want besides Leonard for Gasol.

    Leonard may be asking for too big a payday, and Gasol has a player option. Similar risk for both teams.

    Are you going to re-sign Leonard for $15M/season?

    We are not winning a championship this season. No reason to trade for Gasol.

    I don’t see any trade that works with the Cavs that involves us taking on Varejao.

    They do not have any draft picks until the next decade, and not one good young prospect on a contract past this season. The Cavs really emptied their asset closet to get Love.

    Gasol is mentioned in this OLive article:

    http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2016/02/portland_trail_blazers_trade_rumors.html

    My take is if we're not going to re-sign Leonard, we at least have some chance to re-sign Gasol. Maybe Gasol doesn't even exercise his PO. He's certainly going to make less than Leonard.

    Leonard went to school at UofI(llinois). Maybe he's something of a hometown boy there. Straight up, it's not a great deal for the Bulls. However, the financial considerations are it gets the Bulls under the LT.

    Leonard surely fits into Fred Hoiberg's offensive system better than Gasol. Gasol is effectively Aldridge without the D. He's got a really good assortment of mid-range and inside shots. He might not play so well next to Plumlee.

    wonder if we could reroute Gasol to a team like OKC - he could be a big help in a championship run, I'd ask for Steven adams back and an expiring if they have one

    Wrong Gasol to trade Leonard for given the age of the team..I just don't see Neil wanting to get somebody older than Kaman
