Has this rumour actually been reported by any media sources? I've only seen it as an idea floated on forums.
In any trade directly with the Lakers, I'd really like to get Darius Morris back; I think he's got tremendous upside, and the Raptors could certainly use a PG prospect who can defend and create for his teammates.

The only real confirmed thing is that Raptors and Minny have talked with the Lakers. But for Minny the possibility of getting Gasol without a third team involved seems remote. Pek and Dwill who are always the pieces mentioned if they are dealing aren't of interest to the Lakers. Bargnani and Calderon fit their needs to a tee.
Gasol teamed with Love and Rubio works for them.
Pek and Dwill would work for the Raps.
3 way deal makes sense. Straight up Raps with Lakers makes some sense though I personally don't like it. Minny with the Lakers can't see it happening.
But the 3 way makes too much sense. So therefore you have to figure BC will do a JO move and bring Gasol in. IF he does dump those two bozos and gets the two from Minny he will keep his job. Even if Pek is so so and Dwill is a bust.
