4-year Anniversary of the Gasol Trade

[DeadlyDynasty]

Well, technically it was yesterday, but let's celebrate the good memories we've all shared

Where were you when the news broke? What was your reaction?





Thanks for the memories, Pau! Now gtfo.

I heard about it at work, was thinking to myself "Lol, kwame brown"

[BRHornet45]

son I think we should also look at the 4 years before Gasol ...

Los Angeles Lakers


2004-05: 34-48 - Kobe's first year as team leader, fails to make playoffs

2005-06: 45-37 - Kobe's second year as team leader, stomped out in first round

2006-07: 42-40 - Kobe's third year as team leader, stomped out in first round

2007-08: Kobe cries to be traded because he knows he can't lead a team so Stern sends him Gasol and the Lakers immediately hit a 10 game winning streak that started on Gasol's third game as a Laker and they finish the season 27-9 since Gasol's arrival. Gasol saves the day.

Crazy to think that Gasol could have such an impact that it would alter Kobe's legacy forever.

Kobe fans ought to be suckin that Spanish , tbh.

Tough when they just took out Paul's and are diving to Howard's knees

[cheguevara]

when are Kobe fans not on their knees?

, they probly ready to suck on Josh McRobert's long as he wins some games

I suppose you're right. I guess I was thinking Kobe fans would be more thankful for having that down their throats.

u won 2 NBA ing les in that span but your glory time is done, we're gonna dominate the out of the league the whole decade and you ers ain't havin no chance to on us tbh

[LkrFan]

Pau trade ended the Duncan era.

[DPG21920]

Amazing trade. I was stunned when it happened. LA became a super team before everyone else and it changed the landscape of the league. I firmly believe we wouldn't see Heat type teams had this not gone down.

[Banzai]

That last pic..wtf lmao

[lefty]

And last but not the least:

[ElNono]

Pau always been classy...

[VBM]

I thought the Spurs were a lock for the finals that year until Bynum went down. Once he did, LA was guaranteed to make a splash via trade, and did they ever. If Bynum doesn't get injured, the Lakers don't send out the smoke signals to Memphis.
