With the Los Angeles Lakers continuing to struggle, now with a 17-24 season record, Pau Gasol thinks a trade is possible now and rumor has it that a possible deal may be in the works.

According to Jarrod Rudolph of Real GM the Brooklyn Nets are seeking to capitalize on the Lakers recent struggles.

Supposedly the feeling in Brooklyn is that a move for center Dwight Howard can be made for the right price given the Lakers struggles and long-term commitment to a collection of pieces that just don't seem to fit or compliment Howard's skills.

According to sources, Nets General Manager Billy King was planning to contact the Minnesota Timberwolves in order to gauge their interest in a three-team trade that would send Kevin Love to the Lakers, Brook Lopez to the Timberwolves and Dwight Howard to the Nets.

However, the problem with that plan is that Love is out until March and the Nets aren't sure how interested the Lakers would be in acquiring an injured Love.

Also according to Rudolph, King is going to continue to search for a third team that would have an attractive asset for the Lakers but had also mentioned that Howard isn't as big of a priority as he was last season.

But as of now, the Lakers will continue to look for answers to what is a truly baffling season. With that being said, maybe a roster change is the best move for the team right now.
