Bargnani for Gasol

[charlesnba23]

It's not like I'm back with another crazy idea that has never been proposed before.
But I'd really like to see it happen. Something like Bargnani, Kleiza and Anderson for Gasol.
I think this trade would be amazing. A new scenario for both Bargs and Gasol.

Pau Gasol is a star caliber player. He's a team player who can score, rebound, pass the ball and defend. His contract ends up at the end of next season.

I think that his acquisition would make us a lock for the playoffs next season. Lowry, DeMar, Gay, Gasol, Valanciunas, Ross, Fields, Amir, Gray, Lucas, Acy and Haddadi... Don't you think it's a pretty good group to build around?

We could bring Zubcic on the team next year to be the last forward of the bench and sign a couple FA to complete the roster.

Valanciunas/Gray/Haddadi
Gasol/Johnson/Acy
Gay/Fields/Zubcic
DeRozan/Ross
Lowry/Lucas/FA

I'm really torn about Gasol. I'm worried that he's on the decline. Plus, what's the point of just getting a guy for a year and a half? I think I'd rather trade for or invest in a younger PF that could grow with the rest of the team's revamped young core.

I understand the benefit of unloading Bargnani & Kleiza, but either of them could just be amnestied if we wanted a salary dump, plus this trade would actually add another $4.5M to our cap situation.

I aslo don't think the Lakers would do this trade. If we threw in a 1st round pick and/or enabled them to unload another bad contract (ie: Blake), or if Kleiza was expiring then maybe, but I just don't see them viewing this trade as enough of an upgrade.
