Devean George.
It's kind of like Jason Kidd.. So many people here still whine about the Devin Harris trade, even after Kidd averages 9 assists per game last season and offers the leadership that we were severely lacking.
Not a complaint, just seems goofy..

I think it´s not so much about hating our own players (in this case Josh). It´s more about liking Gasol and his huge potential. He can be a legit center in this league for the next 10 years. Of course I´m going to trade a 30 year old SG/SF who´s not really special for Gasol. If we got Gasol for Howard we could easily turn one of our still untouched trade chips into a legit SG and that would give us a starting five of Kidd, SG, Matrix, Dirk, Gasol.
That said I don´t think Josh is enough to fetch Gasol (and of course we´d have to take back other contracts too).
