Word to Kevin Mchale... BUT... THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!

The Lakers have acquired forward-center Pau Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies for center Kwame Brown, guard Javaris Crittenton and a series of draft picks between the two teams, The Times has learned.

Gasol, 27, is averaging 18.9 points and 8.8 rebounds this season for the Grizzlies. He has expressed discontent in the past year with the Grizzlies (13-33) who have not been in playoffs since 2006 and have never won a playoff game since he was drafted in 2001.

He was the NBA's rookie of the year in 2001-02 and made the All-Star team in 2006. Gasol has three more years and an estimated $49 million on his contract. Brown's $9.1-million conract expires after this seasoon and Crittenton is a rookie.

Gasol would fill in at center until Andrew Bynum returns from a knee injury sometime in March. Gasol could then slide over to power forward when Bynum returns.

ya they just traded for two of the worst players in the league with two of the worst contracts..... all they need now is Eddy Curry to fill it up

yeah, if there trading all-stars for trash players like this, how about they finish up the deal and trade Rudy Gay for curry.

 

[bigwilliesty1e]

Love it.

Although I liked Crit, we had to get what we needed.

 

[m00dswing7]

This move will def. make the Lakers a championship contender.... Gasol is that dude, Lakers fans will love this guys work ethic.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Wow u got to be $%*#+#! kidding me....Kwame? KWAME?!?!?!? SMH the grizzlies are the dumbest franchise in the world SMFH X 10000000

 

[arog27]

If this is true the Bulls could of gotten Gasol for a good deal.
jBlack....you know as I do that the Bulls have been talking about Gasol for about a year now. Not only do the Bulls suck this year, but then youwatch Gasol go for a bag of apples...what the hell man. We could've easily have gotten Gasol for Tyrus Thomas, Griffin and picks.......its a damn shame.

You know how crazy that would be? The glory days of the NBA all over again.

 

[rap sizzle]

Th hell was Memphis thinking??? Grizzlies fans will be singing the blues now...

[po2345]

Man, Kobe has to be happy with this one.


PO

 

[downtown43]

the Grizzlies have to be the stupidest organization in the NBA. when i saw this trade, i thought maybe MJ is calling the shots down there now. i'm not evena Grizzlies fan and this is making ME mad

i'm still waiting for "Grizzlies trade Gay, Conley, Lowry to Minnesota for Walker, 2010 draft pick"

 

[justhotkicks]

^ Lol.

This is a great trade for Laketown. Definitely a contender.

 

[thekingofva]

wow Memphis got pennies on the dollar, they got abused in this offer

 

[bigwilliesty1e]

Will he be playing tonight?!?!

 

[mjdalegend]

Mitch turned it around when things could of gone south this year. Lakers have changed their fortune, they are back on the top with this trade.

 

[k3njaminz]

WHOOAAAA OUT OF LEFT FIELD!!!!!!!!!! Nice work Mitch!!
