Gasol traded to the Lakers

[Kings]

Rudy Gay = Franchise player now, I assume.

I wonder if Pau is going to take minutes away from Bynum once the injury is healed.. Unless Pau starts at 4 and Odom at 3? (Ariza = bench?) See if the Lakers want to win championships down the road, they have to rely on Bynum's development. Pau is a great player, but not someone who can change the game that Bynum can potentially be.

Gay was elected as the franchise player for the team since he beggining of the season, soma facts of thet you can see in the way they changed the face of Pau in the Grizzlies site, or in that the last shots were always for him this year (there u have an explanation why Memphis has lost so many games in close finals)

Pau is not going to take minutes of Bynum, in fact Bynum is going to take minutes from Pau. The perfect solution would be to put Gasol as a 4, and letting Odom to play much more as a sf.

Potentially Kwane Bown was going to be true dominat center. But the truth is that right now Gasol is a dominant and quite decisive player i the paint of any team, and Bynum just isnt. You must have at least one player like Pau in a team if you trully want to be a champion.

Marc Gasol is in no way NBA caliber player - he's slow and clumsy.

If you watch one single game of Akasvayu of this season, you will change your mind

and Navarro for Fisher?

Hell no! hehee

Hey nice pic.. hehehehe

The lakers now are indeed a Championship Caliber team... It's the like the laker resurrection.. hehehe.. With Bynum and Gasol in the middle, they will be definetely be a force to reckon with... Its just a matter of jelling

Looks like Bynum will get traded after all.

John Paxson must be killing himself for not doing this when he had the chance.

And so begins another Grizzlies rebuilding project, too many of them for such a short-lived franchise. It's obvious they're doing this because of the salary cap space for this offseason.

46 against a team he had scored 81 a couple of years ago???
He is a team player now!

TWISM, that was hilarious!

personnally, I hope he won't take 28 shots agin this season... That's way too many, and Gasol will take back Bynum's shots inside. Then,

Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum...
What a starting five, quite ok for the triangle offense...

I think Lakers will go farther in playoffs this year. Maybe it's time for kobe to shine, as he is getting more mature.

I know. But wasn't Bynum the target of Kobe's "trade-me-or-else" histrionics during the off-season?

If they play Gasol at the 5, Bynum's minutes will be reduced. If they can get Gasol to play PF (which is his natural position), then well and good. A starting lineup with Gasol, Kobe, and Bynum will kick major *ss, just as long as Kobe doesn't take too many shots.

It's not a triangle. It's a pentagram! The pure evil is from L.A. We should have known from the beginning...

All right, then. What I was trying to say is that getting Gasol has put the Lakers in a position that will enable them to trade out Bynum without sacrificing inside play. I do hope that they don't do so, though. This is a pretty good lineup and shipping out Bynum will be counterproductive. Then again, LA is still Kobe's team.
