Pau Gasol Trade Rumor

I stumbled across this article today, and while it's not in any way credible, I found the trade scenario they reported very feasible.

They brought up a 4-team scenario between the Timberwolves, Lakers, Pistons, and Hornets. Big, huh?

The trade breaks down like this:

Lakers Get
Derrick Williams
JJ Barea
Jonas Jerebko
Trevor Ariza

Timberwolves Get
Pau Gasol
Kim English

Hornets Get
Charlie Villanueva
Nikola Pekovic
Chris Duhon

Pistons Get
Emeka Okefor

Obviously the biggest players moved are Derrick Williams and Pau Gasol. From the start, I felt a trade straight up between the two would suffice, but Gasol's massive contract with (2 year/39mill) is the roadblock. The proposed trade gets other teams involved to make it work.

Gasol is intrigued in proposed trade, obviously. 

While the trade is quite out there, I think both Williams and Gasol could be moved by Feb. 21. Gasol because of the new offense D'Antoni is bringing to LA, and Williams because of the return of Love.

I like the idea of Gasol playing alongside fellow Spaniard, Ricky Rubio. Plus, Gasol could slip into the Center position he better excels in.

Just food for thought.
