yes the Lakers cheated and got Gasol for nothing
Not to give new life to this topic, but was anyone else weirded out that Jerry West presented the trophy to the Lakers for being Wester Conference Champions.
Isn't he still an adviser to the Grizzlies? First he / Chris Wallace giftwrap Gasol to the Lakers and a couple of months later he's handing them a trophy? Also, it looked like he had tears in his eyes or something.
It was great trade by the Lakers but one that would've caused a catlysmic fight in my fantasy league.
Ok, I've said enough. Time to think about reloading in the off-season.

laaame.
they should use tim duncan as the new nba icon.
Collusion tends to fall apart (game theory) but it does seem that way.
No West has nothing to do with the Grizzlies organization, but you all knew that of course.
Gotta like the idiots here slamming Jerry West who was nothing but congratulatory to the Spurs. With fans like some of you, it's easy to see why the Staples fans booed.
Respect one of the game's greatest players, and ambassadors for the NBA. Classless.
Jerry West is puss.
Typical Spurs fan...miserable and bitter. Sorry life sucks so much for you.
So did West give up his consultation role with the Grizzlies?
No one's slamming West. He's still the logo. It was just a little bit odd seeing him there. I actually like him, but given the furor about the trade all around the league, it was noteworthy. The man who helped build the Lakers (twice) was there to admire his handiwork.
No denying that it was a great trade and the Lakers have a fabulous young core now, but even as a Laker fan, don't you think West's affection towards the Lakers helped facilitate the trade?
Honestly, if I was a Laker fan, I probably wouldn't care about how my team got built, just that it did.
Yeah, I'm typical. A typical spurs fan on a typical spurs forum speaking my mind.
What does that make you? A ing puss. Why are you here? Why don't you come and meet me on the corner of military and zarzamora? I'll show you my typical ness...
Jerry West is a puss. What is he your dad?
To my knowledge he hasn't had a consulting role with the Grizzlies anymore.
So basically you're bitter the Lakers got Gasol for nothing? Ok we get it. Get over it. Like Spurfan would be upset if this worked to the Spurs advantage? I doubt you'd be apologizing.
My, defensive.
In multiple round scenarios. In one-shot games, collusion works. Hope to God West sending All-Stars to Los Angeles was only a one-shot game.
So because your a Spurs fan on a Spurs board, you feel the need to act like an unintelligent dolt? Gee that's a brilliant. If you like saying stupid things, continue to speak your mind, it's rather humorous.
And don't play internet tough guy with me either. Go threaten someone else geek. What the is Military and Zarzamora? Is that in Texas I assume? I don't live there...thank god.
Jerry West presenting the trophy just proves he wasn't in on the deal! The league wouldn't risk putting him out there if there was any evidence of it! He's a great guy and totally above that kind of thing! As is the league!
/seriously, LA may win a championship, ESPN may continue to snake their collective tongues far up Kobe's asshole, but the Lakers will never live this down with true fans of the game. Talk about a big freaking asterisk.
True fans of the game? Oh like you guys right? Wonderful, classy, basketball fans like yourselves right?
People who don't even respect themselves, let alone the game they claim to love so much.
Are you positive? I know different strategies for punishing cheating in a planned collusion occur in multiple rounds.
And Lakers14 les, why don't you stop making generalizations? Are you surprised that you being treated rudely for being obnoxious on a Spurs forum?
#1. It's obvious who I am speaking to by my quotes.
#2. I don't expect with my name to be treated anything other than rudely.
#3. This forum was full of vitrol far before I arrived. There were a lot of obnoxious people on here before I got here, and most of them are Spurs fans. No generalization, an observable FACT.
Yeah, pretty much. I can count on one hand Lakers fans I've known who were classy fans of the game. Mostly they resemble Bulls fans from the '90s: image-addled and incapable of understanding the game beyond a kind of gut-level, lizard-brain froth for their own team. All teams have their homers, but the incidence is stratospheric for the Lakers. That's one reason there are so many celebrities there. Proximity, sure, but also vapidity.
Funny how moronic, vapid generalizations like this are OK because this is a Spurs board, and god forbid anyone think differently than a Spurs fan.
By far the worst people on this board are idiot homers for opposing teams buzzing in from other fansites. Dallas fans used to be pretty bad, Lakers fans take the cake. One wonders why you're here.
So... why are you here?
I like you.
It's not really a generalization, to be honest with you. True, anecdotes aren't statistics, but I'd be surprised to be wrong that most Lakers fans really don't understand the game or much care for it, to be honest to you. There's a history of people bandwaggoning teams ESPN and the league tell you to, and David Stern loves himself some Kobe Bryant. It's no surprise the clueless follow right along. It's the Britney Spears impulse although, granted, the Lakers have a bit more talent.
He wouldnt be able to see you over all the lowed out mini-coopers.
The FACT is that this was a very enjoyable forum BEFORE lakers fans showed up.
Their stubborn insults to everybody's intelligence about the Gasol-for-Nothing trade is a tribute to their own -limited- intelligence.
Now, what I mean by EVERYBODY is really anyone on this planet that we, unfortunately, share.
Good luck with your daily traffic jams.
Word.
And the smog. And the simmering racial hatred. And the botox. Just because rich, glamorous people live near you doesn't make you rich or glamorous.
I say this as a New Yorker and someone now living in the UK: Los Angeles is a -ass, second rate, pussy city. Not saying San Antonio is anywhere close to a world city, but at least it's pleasant. LA is a joke.
