    deals more often than not don't happen that quickly...there are more considerations in a trade for Gasol than just Gasol's contract ….they have to make it work both ways...

    yeah sure...that's because the market for a 34 year old, often-injured traditional C in a league dominated by perimeter players can be spiked up to red-hot by a weird rumor

    (not trying to pick a fight man but that's a real stretch)

    With how much better we look when Nurk is on the court it wouldn’t surprise me if they wanted another guy with a similar skill set off the bench. What makes it hard to believe is we have nothing to offer

    Why can’t we just snag Mirotic and call it a deadline, it’s a little unbeleivable that there are guys out there who would start for us and are available but we are concentrating on bench peices that would most likely cost more to acquire. I’m not buying it.

    Neil will trade Evan Turner and Jusuf Nurkic for Marc Gasal.

    when it comes to a trade rumor people love to jump to conclusions..when all we have is one piece of the puzzle. nobody knows the specifics....nobody knows which Blazer players are involved in the trade if any

    I'd say he'll swap Evan Turner, Meyers and a pick plus maybe a rookie or Swanigan...Nurk in my view will not be traded for Gasol

    That would not be good. Getting rid of Turner is not worth Nurk for Gasol. Nurk>>>Gasol.

    To me in this deal Nurk is untouchable...that's the starting point. Gasol has to be what Pau is to Lamarcus….a backup

    If we are really going after Gasol, which I HIGHLY doubt, Nards has to be included. He would never see the court with Nurk and Gas here.

    I just read this which says Gasol is not the primary target from Portland but two other Grizzlies are
    The real market for members of the Grizzlies, league sources told Sporting News, is in other players on the roster, especially power forward JaMychal Green and guard Garrett Temple. Several teams this week have expressed interest in one or both players, including Portland and Charlotte.

    I'd trade for Marc if it was

    ET + Meyers + Swainagain
    for
    Gasol + Rabb

    There's a reason for that. If you do any sort of investigation on which players could make sense, and account for their salaries -> you immediately come to the conclusion that it's asinine to go after Gasol as a primary target.

    I was obviously joking and we already discussed the rumor of those two last week.

    STOPPPPP! He isn't trading Nurk. If he's trying to trade for Gasol, it's to be a super quality backup to Nurk, and help strengthen the bench.
