3: Los Angeles Lakers receive: PG Kyle Lowry, PF Luis Scola, PF Patrick Patterson
Houston Rockets receive: PF Pau Gasol, SF Christian Eyenga
The Houston Rockets were very close to acquiring Pau Gasol last off-season, in fact if it weren’t for David Stern, Gasol would have played in Texas.
The Rockets really wanted Gasol on their team and were on the verge of conjuring up another trade proposal that would have brought Gasol to their team. If a team is interested in a player, like the Rockets are in Gasol, they will do anything to get their hands on that player.
Houston has a very intriguing player on their roster that the Lakers will surely benefit from having. Kyle Lowry is a great young point guard, three words that the Lakers’ front-office drools over. Lowry will fill a void on the Lakers roster and he is someone they will definitely go after.
In addition, Luis Scola is a perfect replacement for Gasol. Although their size is not the same, the Lakers will not lose much on the offensive end since Scola’s foot-work resembles that of Gasol’s.
