Pau was putting up 20/10 in Memphis though...No Duncan but he was no slouch.

If you pretty much help another team build a dynasty it's a horrible trade

I really dont understand this logic. A team makes a trade to better itself. Thats what the Grizzlies did. What happens to the other team should be irrelevant. Both teams did well in this trade, and thats how it should be looked at. But most people hate on the Lakers and are salty because they have won titles after this trade....therefore holding the belief that the Lakers ripped off the Grizzlies. They didnt.

Yes.
I know Lakers fans will try to make it look like it was fair in some way, but nah. If I want to make space in my apartment, I don't give away my expensive TV to another guy for absolutely nothing (or in the case of Grizzlies, Kwame being less than nothing) and say "Hey, it was a great deal for both of us. We both got what we wanted. He got a TV and I created some extra space."
That trade was FIXED. The most one sided trade in history. Jerry West was not a part of the Grizzlies staff technically, but he had influence.
Okay Lakers signatures, hit me!

I almost jizzed my pants when I got a text saying Kwame left for Pau. Greatest trade of all time, considering it got my team 2 chips

Pau's skills really suit the offense LA is running and naturally his game blossomed after he got here.
He was never really a superstar type....granted, he led Memphis to a 50 win season and a playoff berth, but he never had the look of a #1 franchise type player before.
His skills are perfect in the triangle and is a perfect complement to Kobe's.
The deal looks bad, because it brought us 3 finals appearances and 2 championship, but Memphis got Marc Gasol (a 15 and 10 Center), cap space (aka Brown and Mihm's expiring, used to sign Z-Bo and re-sign Gay), and couple of 1st rounders. It doesn't look as bad now as it did when the deal took place.

if you can get rid of kwame brown and get pau gasol, no matter how look at it, that is a great trade. kwame shouldnt even be in the league cause he sucks and pau gasol was the mvp of world championships and also FIBA MVP. that says more than enough

i stand corrected, i don't know why i got the years mixed up, but still regarding the pau trade, people need to be realistic. when you trade a good player almost all the time your going to get 20 cents on the dollar for them. that's just reality and it's not just memphis and the lakers

It was a gift. It definitely was. Just like KG was a gift to the Celtics. Yes, I'm a salty Bulls fan, even if getting Gasol the year before would've meant we probably don't get D. Rose.
Marc Gasol is nice, but he's an over rated double double guy. He's not carrying a team the way his brother can. Please put Pau on the grizzlies with a decent center, rudy gay, oj mayo and those other pieces. You know the Grizzlies are better than they are now.
