Legacy Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 What if I told you the Warriors could get Lakers All-Star big man Pau Gasol in a three-way trade involving Chris Paul? Would you jump at it? What if I told you in order to get Pau, you’d have to give up … … all your young talent? The Lakers, in their attempts to get young talent to send to New Orleans so the NBA will approve their acquisition of Chris Paul, came knocking at the Warriors door. Dangling Gasol. In return, they wanted “the entire team” one source said. The package the Lakers wanted was centered around point guard Stephen Curry (not sure who else, but I’m guessing Ekpe Udoh, Klay Thompson and maybe even Dorell Wright based on how laughable the source viewed the Lakers’ offer). Curry, presumably, would wind up with the Hornets. The Warriors aren’t interested. At all.Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHutch Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 The Warriors aren't willing to do that trade? I blame Dan Gilbert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted December 12, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Right. Again, that's just one source. I highly doubt the Lakers would be dumb enough to ask that much for a 30+ year old disgruntled bench all-star (not starting all-star, that's what I mean). RealGM gets all of their stories from affiliated blogs and other sources, so not everything they write is legitimate. I could probably go on Twitter and post a rumor, get it carried out to many people, and I wouldn't be surprised if a well-known blog or website ran with it, calling me a source. Hell, if this was even remotely true, it's because the Lakers told the Warriors what the Hornets wanted from them. We're finding out that it was the Hornets (well, Stern) that tried to get K-Mart, Scola, Lowry, and either Hill or Patterson from Houston.
