    It seems to me that the only viable way to make a deal for Pau would be by using a sign-and-trade with Hickson and Freeland going to the Lakers. The Blazers then would only have to match within 125% of Pau's salary.

    Pretty much. And that's still a pretty steep price to pay.

    Nothing but a small amount of P.A.'s money. Lakers would have to amnesty his contract and then, he'd be worth about $5/year for 2 years for us. He's OLD (for a player) and isn't part of our future planning.
    He's not good enough any more to single handedly take a team to the playoffs.

    Wake me if LAL uses the amnesty on him, otherwise, let me rest!!!!

    He wouldn't be doing it single handedly in Portland. He'd have Lillard and Aldridge. And then hopefully, Leonard is ready after Pau retires.

    I wouldn't want to pay Pau's current contract but I do think he has value.

    He might rejuvenate here, new situation, etc. and I think he still has a lot of game.

    It would be nice if Pau was amnestied and we were able to pick him up. I just don't think the Lakers will do it though. I think he still holds value and could be a 3rd choice for team's with cap space and young talent. I'm thinking Washington would give up okafor for him.
