Step one: Luol Deng + Taj Gibson for Pau Gasol

Step two: Fire Mike D'Antoni and hire a defensive minded coach

I looked at Taj Gibson, but here is how it would work out:

LA Trades: Gasol, Earl Clark
Bulls Trade: Deng, Gibson, Hamilton

I just don't see why Chicago would trade Gibson and Deng for Gasol. I don't think it improves them significantly, and it doesn't really improve their money situation much either.

Gasol+MWP for Deng/Boozer shaves a year off Boozer's contract, along with the skill increase.

They'll probably get Josh Smith for him... or some combo of young studs from Houston.

It sounds like Danny Ferry has no interest in Pau Gasol.

I don't think LA has any chance of getting Josh Smith. I presume Atlanta is looking for a more long term solution this summer in free agency with their $40 million cap room.

Yeah, Ferry has a plan, and I don't think he deviates from it, even if a Gasol-Horford tandem sounds terrific to me.

I think LA would need to sweeten the offer a bit. Maybe a pair of first round picks and throw in Jodie Meeks to help their wing depth.

 That's good. I was looking for young(er) more athletic players at both forward spots but hadn't thought of Indy, I was thinking more of Humphries and Wallace and Brooks, but that's not a great deal for Pau.

Pau stuck playing alongside another center in Hibbert? Ugh.

I'm a fan of Williams' potential, but I don't see LA pulling the trigger on this unless Pekovic was headed to a third team and a starting caliber 4 man was coming back.  Williams hasn't proven himself ready to be a starter on a contending team, Pek would play 10mpg, Roy is out (for good right?) and Ridnour's just a back-up PG.

If I'm the Lakers, AK-47 is the starting point of any Pau to Minny deal.

Step one: Luol Deng + Taj Gibson for Pau Gasol

Step two: Fire Mike D'Antoni and hire a defensive minded coach

Can't see Chicago doing that - not enough quality on the wing to send out Deng without getting a good wing in return.

If I am the Lakers, I would be looking for a PF who is a good fit in a D'Antoni offense, a useful bench player, and a draft pick that could be in the late lottery.

Plus without Deng who will Thibs play for 47 minutes a game?
