    It seems we'll soon be getting news that Gasol has been traded. No details confirmed, but he's apparently gone.

    I'd guess it's Minnesota.

    CRAZY! I'm praying LA didn't get another sweatheart of a deal.

    Hmmm, Jerry West works for GS, doesn't he?

    My guess is Houston for Lowrie and Scola

    Wow, just wow. If that deal goes through.... I would take all 4 of the GSW players on our team in a heartbeat. Pau is almost done. And Artest is well.... World Peace.

    I just hope it isn't for Rondo. I still want to keep some hope alive that he'll land up in PDX.

    Bucher has 0 clout. If his rumor turns out to be true it will be the first I can remember.

    FWIW minutes before this Lazenby guy tweeted the above tweet, Wojnarowski said he had heard Houston was pushing hard for Pau.

    WTF? That much for a soon to be washed up Pau and a washed up Artest? I don't think GSW is that stupid.

    No way

    Trading Curry has no basis in reality

    Gasol is nearing the end of his prime.

    Artest is nearing the end of his career.

    A late first rounder.

    I don't see any incentive for the Warriors to even consider such a move.

    They want a C and old man Gasol really should be playing there most of the time anyway. He'd be a top 5 C in the league still.

    But given that, at this point, Pau is descending and David Lee is in his prime having arguably the best season of his career and GS is taking back Metta why would they also include Curry? I don't think Pau is a Steph Curry better than David Lee, especially considering Pau is 31 and Lee is 28.

    They play at 5:00 (pt) today. I'll be curious to see if he plays.

    OT: Pau Gasol traded? Maybe for Steph Curry?

    Now this is just a rumor but I figured we needed a new thread to curse the Lakers. That seems like WAY too good of a deal for them.

    Not true, as of yet. And if anything, it would be for Monta, I believe.

    I don't know how accurate the GS rumors are. Everything else is linking Gasol to Houston and Minny.

    i semi like this for golden state, although taking artests deal kills it...he might retire? if so this lops alot of dead weight off their salary situation
