Report: Hawks turned down Pau Gasol - Josh Smith trade due to Lakers' high price - CBSSports.com

In addition to Johnson, the Hawks have been open to moving forward Josh Smith though they've resisted offers so far. Apparently the Hawks balked at a potential deal with the Lakers for Pau Gasol because L.A. wanted another major piece to go along with Smith. That would leave the Hawks with less than six players under contract, less talent, and no short-term cap relief because of the $38 million and two years remaining on Gasol's contract.

I wonder who else they ask for??

probably a first round picks? > Report: Hawks turned down Pau Gasol - Josh Smith trade due to Lakers' high price - Photo posted in BX SportsCenter | Sign in and leave a comment below!

yea Lakers be reaching too much man, they always !!ing up trades

07-01-2012, 06:02 PM

yea teague + smith is too much, atl smart for turning that down

Marvin + smith is fair for both teams and it would be a good trade

07-01-2012, 06:06 PM

Lakers should just wait until the Hawks get the Nets deal done, if it gets done. Then they can ask for Farmar and Brooks with Smith if they are really trying to do some raping

07-01-2012, 06:07 PM

They don't want Marvin. He has a player option. Lakers are trying to shead cap space so that's understandable they should get a 3rd team involved.

Lakers are always trying to[..] [pic]
