Larry Coon is one of the foremost experts on the salary cap and all things CBA. He knows NBA people and he writes for various publications. But like Red's Army mentioned, he's not exactly one to break rumors. Maybe he's trying out something new. I don't know if that makes him more or less credible but I guess it depends on his source (as always). If you follow his twitter account, here's a few tweets that might catch your eye.

@ZHalford Rondo is on outs therenot part of future plans. Word is they think they can make one more run with KG/PP/RA, and like Gasol.

I still don't get this whole notion, but I guess we've heard it enough now to at least assume there's some smoke there. But what kills me is this next one.

I think Lakers would want Bass. RT @HebertofNH: any credence to the ny post column in thinking that Gasol will go for Rondo/ Jermaine O'neal

Come on. Tell me we aren't going to give up Bass too. Make this go away please.
