its cool, i would hope my team would try to take short-cuts to championships also, if they couldStill was a legal trade under the CBA regardless of the players. If they were able to straight up deal Aaron Mckie's small contract for Gasol, then it would be cheating and illegal. You can call the trade bull /robbery/planned all you want but it still was a legal trade.
Our bench is full of players we drafted(Farmar,Sasha,Walton,Turiaf)/signed in free agency (Vlad) or traded for (Ariza). That is one of the biggest strengths to this team is their bench which they have built over the last couple of seasons.
just like the Celtics trade...
yes we know we made out in the trade
but tell me, you wouldn't be happy if it happened to you? I bet you would say "its part of the nba, things like this happen"
let it go mr. jealous
yeah and they'd all be fishing right now if it werent for gasolOur bench is full of players we drafted(Farmar,Sasha,Walton,Turiaf)/signed in free agency (Vlad) or traded for (Ariza).

thispego is jealous of nothing. just wanting to make sure LA Fans know what the score is because there have been a lot of inflated egos strutting around this joint since Spurs game 1 loss.
I don't see what the problem is. How else were the Griz going to dump salary and rebuild? I'm sure they could have gotten more in return but it would have come with a load of unexpiring contracts for average talent that would have made them no better off than where they are now. I think it was a must move for the Griz. They needed to start from scratch and build a new team around their two young guards. You can't do that with contracts on the books. All this conspiracy talk is horse . Unless their is equal talent you'd want to keep or could resign the move was more than legit and LA had the best expiring contract in the league plus a young guard to help soften the deal.
You Sir, are a whiney little .Laker fans do. they know it was a cheat. Most teams have to build le contenders the old fashioned way. some teams get to cheat and take short cuts. It's good to be a laker
Wow finally a Spur fan with an objective opinion on the matter.
Kudos!
The score? We know "the score".
Lakers up one game to zero thanks to the Black Mamba RIPPING the hearts out of the choking Spurs.
They did. Intentionally tanking to get Tim Duncan.
The Gasol trade was not cheating..
He ain't that good. All he does is make layups when Kobe draws attention. Anyone can do that.
LOL
Los Angeles - Where taking shortcuts to championships happen
Yeah I guess David Robinson faked an injury to get Tim Duncan. The Spurs got the No. 1 pick legitimately, there was no Patrick Ewing bull conspiracy there.
Papazit, is that you? Get back to drawing up a winning strategy, stop trolling.
BTW we gave up Kwame, Crittenton, Gasol II, and 2 draft picks so shut your ignorant cakehole.
Papazit, is that you? Get back to drawing up a winning strategy, stop trolling.
BTW we gave up Kwame never has been , Crittenton wont ever be , Gasol II he wasnt going to be a #1 like his bro,a nd also wont amount to , and 2 draft picksso shut your ignorant cakehole.
You have to look at it after this years or next years run of FA. Whoever the Griz sign is really what they're getting for Gasol and there is a ton of talent out there in the next two years. This move could easily equate to two or three very solid FA over the next two years.
This thread is making the Spurs fan look like whiners. Dude we gave up a first round drafted player in critterion and we gave up 2 additional firts round picks plus Gasol's brother...
So we gave up 3 first round picks and Gasol's very talented brother....I dont see that as a steal...we picked up a good player now but gave Memphis a ton of players for the future....and how many times has Gasol been an allstar...maybe once I think...
that doesnt sound like a steal to me..it sounds like alot of whining by Jazz fans...who I think also did some shady stuff by trading Barry and getting him back.....yea that was legit..haha
spurs will win this series and then we can revisit these topics
Haha I called you guys Jazz fans...sorry...I had lots of argumenst with those losers.....
Just like you would be if Duncan had a season ending Knee injury like bynum.
Its fishy that:
1. they made the deal after better offers were offered.
2. GM's have been quoted as of the Memphis GM making weird statements and declines of offers and suggestions from other teams.
3. It was 2 weeks before the All Star break, where better offers could have been heard.

It blows my mind how seriously people take the Gasol trade and the Lakers organization as an actual championship contender. This is a guy whose Grizzlies teams won an average of 36 games a season from 2001-2007 with him on the team. Please.
I'm going to leave this forum until after the Spurs win the series, and it will be interesting to see the sudden silence over the Lakers, just the way there was suddence silence on New Orleans when this forum exploded over how Chris Paul was going to take over the NBA and win the championship.
Haha...Spurs fans are actually scared...no one thought CPaul was going to take over..he's too young..but you know what Kobe can do with his experience and its funny to see Spurs fans actually show some fear...
