Since Tim Duncan was picked after the Spurs blatantly tanked a season all of the Spurs championships should be pinned with an asterisk.
Haha..thats a good one.....
Bump
apples and oranges. please stay on topic.
The topic was dumb to begin with....Spurs fans complaining about the trade in which we gave up a first round player, plus 2 first round picks and gasols brother for Paul gasol who's a one time allstar.....
The only reason to complain is that you are afraid of the Lakers...... plus you got Barry back on a shady deal with the Sonics and didnt you get Finley for nothing off that amnesty deal that he had with Dallas to shed his salary(maybe Im wrong..maybe he went somewhere else first...)
but the point is that its childish to complain now....you guys have your team and we have ours..dont make excuses
The current Grizzlies GM was handpicked by West and a native of West Virginia. Make up your own opinion.
Yes we should believe Jerry West knew all along when he was the GM with the Grizzleys that in the year 07-08 Andrew Bynum would get hurt and the Lakers would need Paul Gasol...so he dratfed Gasol, picked his future GM just so this trade could be made in 2008.....sounds like a conspiracy to me
I usually try to reason with Spur fans, but this one is stupid, and sounds like an excuse IF you guys lose.
The thread was not to complain.. it was just to clear something up
topic = settled
Nope, not a cheat because according to many Spur fans, Gasol sucks, is soft and will get dominated this entire series.
How could it be cheating if the Lakers got such a useless player back in return?
Everybody's happy!
The Grizzlies got what they want - salary cap relief and a chance at rebuilding. Gasol had taken them to the playoffs previously, and never won one game. So they had gone as far as they could with him.
Lakers got what they wanted, too.
Gasol got what he wanted.
Lakers haters got what they wanted - another conspiracy theory opportunity, and another reason to despise the beautiful.
So why are you complaining?
The original poster is a sack of . What a little .
The Spurs trading for Kurt Thomas and getting Brent Berry back was the crock.
Suck a fart out of my butt, re .
yeah Barry has been big for us this post season. Did you see that 36 16 and 8 game he had at the beginning of the playoffs? oh wait....
good luck with that, k, bye
thispego is exhibiting serious ownership.
I dub him The Sheep Herder.
i will tend to my flock of lakers fans until the Spurs advance
then they are on their own
It's funny how the original *-slinging Lakers are so upset that the Gasol trade is tainted.
It was within the rules that the Spurs won their 1st championship.
To claim that the trade was robbery and within the rules.
Seems like you want it both ways.
lakers fans after reading this post -
To say the Gasol trade was tainted is simply stupid.
Linking the strike-shortened season to a trade almost a decade later is stupid.
Two different topics.
Who got shortchanged in the Gasol trade?
Not Memphis.
Not LA.
Not Gasol.
Not me.
Just you. And that doesn't count.
To trade your franchise player to a conference rival for minor draft picks is ridiculous and unheard of.
THEN, to seriously expect the common NBA fan to believe that the BEST the Grizzlies could receive for Pau Gasol was draft picks is insulting. Most nba fans are complete idiots, but for the few of us with active brain cells, its obvious the Lakers Cheated. This entire season for the Lakers has an asterisk, IMO.
he obviously wasn't they're franchise player anymore, Pau was looking to win now, wile the grizz were looking for the future with Gay and Conley. make more sense?
expiring contract to rebuild because they were going nowhere, brother
So no other team in the entire league was willing to give young talent up for Pau Gasol except the Conference Rival Lakers?
Makes Sense
The "tanking" to get Duncan is ridiculous. Boston had the better shot at Duncan, not SA.
