i never knew what people saw in crittenton. dude dribbles too much...
also, the first rounders the lakers are giving up wont hurt them either because phil's dumb $%@ doesnt even play rookies that much..
and about the hornets, i wouldnt put them in the top of the west elite.
Chris Paul deserves the mvp this year because hes making an average team look like an elite team...
I mean look at that roster...

I couldn't believe the news when I read on my cell phone. Great trade for the Lakers. Gasol is a top 10 center, an instant upgrade over Brown. Their frontline will be crazy when Bynum gets back. More importantly, Gasol doesn't hav to be the main scoring threat and Odom doesn't have to be the 2nd option.I can only hope for a Lakers/Celtics final.

Damn, just got online and confirmed the news (for myself)! I'm still slapping myself to see if I'm just dreaming or what!
Gasol on the Lakers is SOOOOOOOO nice!!! But somehow, Kwame's departure is even NICER!!
Kupchak is definitely getting his game on!

More like one for Kwame's 9 million dollar salary being off the Lakers' payroll. But it wouldn't be a bad move for the Lakers to resign him ina month, for $300K. A more reliable backup 5 than Mihm.

Good luck for him to be a Laker.

They can go to West semi-finals... or even West finals...
If everyone play as a team, with the return of Bynum...
Also, they can achieve it, if Kwame goes to D-League.

Around the league, the reaction of executives and coaches was unanimous: What a nightmare for us. When reached with the news, one Western Conference executive said simply, "Are you kidding? (Expletive) me."
hmm wonder who said that...

This is the type of move that Memphis needed to make. I just don't know if it is the right one. They seem to be set at pg for the future with Conley,Lowry, and La Bomba. They should have maybe tried for a promising young wing player or big.
This offseason will be very, very critical for the next 5-10 years of their franchise, and that's for sure. They can't go out on the market and signmediocre players to ludicrous contracts.
Chris Wallace was the Celtics former general manager, and he is infamous for the Vin Baker trade, trading Joe Johnson for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers, anddrafting Joe Forte. No clue why any franchise would ever hire the guy. I would still be fuming over the franchise hiring this guy if i was a memphis fan.

Just asking, but what would you Laker fans do if this deal ends up being horribly wrong for the Lakers and great for the Grizz?

WOW
Im not a Lakers fan but this is one of the greatest deals I've seen in a long time.
I cant believe Memphis made this trade.

The Lakers was the best team in the NBA before Bynum got injured.
The Hornets dont have a bench, San Antonio is old, the Suns dont play a symblance of D, Dallas is a pure Iso team and that wont work in the playoffs. Its notlike it would have taken a move to bring us back to the upper group of teams. While not the favs for this year next year they should be the favs

I really laugh at anybody who says we only marginally improve with the addition of Gasol because he is supposedly soft.. We don't need him to be anenforcer on the block, we have another guy named Bynum who will be pretty good at that. We don't need him to be the guy we go to in crunch time when weneed a bucket, that will be taken care of by a future HOF named Kobe. Point is we don't need Gasol to be an all world player here. All we will need him todo is play his role in the high post where he is at his best. His addition should open things up for everyone, hopefully he is that missing piece for theLakers that makes them a true championship contender.
