Lakers to pursue Smith
Posted by Unknown on Saturday, November 17, 2012 with 28 comments
The Los Angeles Lakers would like to get younger and more athletic and the player that they have in mind to pursue is Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks who will be a free agent in the offseason and who is one of the closets friends to Lakers center Dwight Howard. Reports indicate that the Lakers are willing to part with Pau Gasol in an attempt to land Smith but that the Hawks are not interested in an package including Gasol at this time.
I wouldn't be either.
ReplyDeleteWow! Gasol has got to be like what the fuck! I know he hates the fact that they have been trying to get rid of him for a while! Soon he is going to stop playing hard for thim bitches! What up with preach?
ReplyDeleteYeah but don't you think he should be trying yo audition for another team? That's what Bynum had to do.
DeleteLakers shoulda.just kept marc gasol
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great move. If Pau would not be so soft he would dominate. Everytime he shows aggression its points or a foul but he dosent do it often. Be a man say I'm going to the hole and there is nothing you can do about it and defense will more than likely give up cuz he's so big. But instead its like may I please score.... No? Ok sorry I bothered you.
ReplyDelete- Big P
It must be very disturbing for pau knowing his team is doing their best to get rid of him.but this is good business for the lakers,i hope they would get this deal cause by then they will be stronger in the paint defensively

Arent they both on the last year of their contract?
ReplyDeleteNah,its pau has another year with the lakers til 2014.its dwight's contract which will end this season .
Deletek-9
That would be a great trade for the lakers if they could pull it off but I if they can't dont be surprised if Josh resigns with Atlanta and his best friend Dwight signs there too. You have to remember Dwight is from Atlanta and so is Josh. They also have the money and that would move Horford back to his natural position at PF and make them a contender. Just food for thought.

Damn.poor fella he must really be disappointed with this news.
ReplyDeleteIm a Lakers fan but i really think the Cavaliers will land Smith. The hawks will likely be more interested in Anderson varajoa an first round draft picks then pau gasol and second round picks
ReplyDeleteI think both of them r n there last years of contract, well i know j smoove is and if the hawks dont trade him b4 deadline i thnk they could loose him. I Mean can u really c him re-uping with atl? Lakers shouldve jumped on it n the offseason when the hawks were interested and i think it would b good trade for them too. Hawks r competitive but already small at nearly every position. Get pau in the smaller east and let horford play his natural pf spot and i think horford would b 25 10 everynite...karl malone type shit! As far as gasol goes hes the only tradeable assest we have and i kinda hate to c him go but it obvious hes not as hungry. But i think lakers should give d'antoni a chance with pau and see wat he can do n that system cause pau is a way smarter player than smith and a better free throw shooter but j smooves athletism would put our defense at a whole nother level and definitely make us fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteSpunge bob over gasol? That sounds crazy. Pau is still 1 of the best players n the world. I admit he not as hungry but like somebody else said look at how the lakers have used him since phil left...that might change now. I see lastnite they was pickin and pop with him around the top of the key. That could work as long as shooters can knock down shots and give them spacing if not than gasol is gonna b traded
DeleteAnother thing about the hawks is they want players who they think will fit there hip hop fan base. wat they 4get is if they dont atleast make the playoffs them niggas n the A aint gonna support them. And i think if hawks get bigger whether its pau or varejo they would b a better team.
DeleteThe Cavs have a way better chance at Smith!!
ReplyDeleteI think the rockets or clippers might jump in trade rumors
ReplyDeleteMan fuck these weak ass Flakers dnt nobody care abt they weak ass and nba preach need to shut the fuck up and change his weak ass name cuz he dont know what the hell he talkin about
ReplyDeleteThe plan is to do a 3 team trade. Josh to lakers, gasol to new york, and amare to atl
ReplyDeleteLike i said atl want a player they can sell to there fan base. The knicks look like they legit this year tho, if i was them i would keep amare, talk him into being a weapon off the bench and start sheed.
DeleteThat's real talk Raymond Felton and Amare already proved what they can do together doing pick and rolls so thats a good idea. If you got those 2 coming off the bench I don't see no one in the East beating them if they put their egos in check and play ball. Looks like a Miami vs New York Eastern Conference Finals.
DeleteAmari needs to come off the bench. It wud b a good look if he did. Felton kid shump melo Tyson. Or Felton shump brew Melo tTyson in starting line up. Jr amari Novak sheed as main guys off the bench. Very good look.
ReplyDeleteYea the grizz exposed them with that small ball shit yesterday. Glad to see sheed still 1 of the best post defenders n the game and he still got it on the other end too. Combine that with sheed's ability to hit the 3 i think hes a better fit with melo n the starting lineup than amare.
DeleteYes.......
ReplyDeleteHawks fan since was little and now 36 and I can say josh smith makes the hawks a worse team and has! He would be a great player if he did what he was capable of doing and supposed to do and not play like its a pick up game at the local park. He rebounds and defends and scores inside n if did that would be amazing but feels he is a guard and shoots way to many dumb shots and throws ball away thinking he is pistol Pete, please trade him for pau gasol that'd be a great trade! A good big guy which is what we need along side of horford and all our great shooters and guards hawks could be a really good team then I feel. Gasol for smith any day!
ReplyDeleteif what other guy is right what he said about maybe getting amare in three way trade I'd take that too! No more josh please he's just to frustrating to watch anymore and if can get a good big man like gasol or amare then definitely be a great trade. Come on hawks do it
ReplyDeleteamare will never eat bench in n.y. and gasol iis not better then amare thayts just fact and numbers proven
ReplyDeleteWat numbers u lookin at?
Deleteclearly that ones u not if u. even think to argue gasol is better then amare...u just a laker ban wagon. jumper amd a ignorant. 1 at that...u prob think steve blake is better then paul
