and considering how much he gets paid, you have now figured out why in reality it's gonna be hard to move him. The problem is that outside of hardcore Lakers fans, everyone thinks that he's just in a funk or that if he went somewhere else, the clock gets turned backwards and he becomes what he used to be and he'd make some other team a contender (and even then it's contradictory-- he's gone from perennial all-star/NBA Champ to a guy that might NEED a 22 year old Spanish PG to hopefully get him to function again)
Great thing other fans ain't GM's. One of the biggest reasons why LA didn't trade him when they hired MDA was because Conangelo didn't want to trade Bargs and Kahn didn't want to move Pek, Love, or Rubio and they never came close to a deal for money reasons. You can't rape nobody if they aren't trying to be raped. Sund is gone from Atlanta so you can forget about Josh Smith. Morey only wanted Gasol with Nene so you can forget about Houston. Maybe, Okafor for Gasol or Amare for Gasol. That's about as good as it gets. No one is trading young assets for Gasol. The deadline on that was when you hired MDA and fired Mike Brown.
