    It's kinda your team's fault. A contract is a contract. They are the ones who wrote it up.

    If there is a rule change, I think it would lean much more towards making it harder to immediate get cap relief for a career ending injury that may not be.

    Okay, let's go with your analogy. It's more like saying I gave you a 2001 Ferrari for a 2006 Maserati, a 2009 sports car of my choosing and two more in the next few years, any of which could be as good or better than what I gave you depending upon the quality of my choice.
    He's a former all-star and a legit big man. How many skilled bigs do you see running around the league these days? You think you can just dip into the first round and come up with a player that will give you 18 and 9 consistently against almost any team in the league, while still being content with being the #2 or #3 go-to guy on the team?

    Geez, man. Where are all these 18 and 9 guys that the Spurs can pick up? We could sure use them.

    Granted, now that Marc has suddenly come on a bit stronger, the trade isn't vastly lopsided, but even so, trading a perennial borderline all-star for role players is just crazy.

    Take home message.



    The Lakers are afraid of Portland and have their subsidiary sign this guy.

    I would have preferred the Spurs to sign him, I think he actually could have contributed, but Im glad someone called Portlands gay ass bluff. Lets se if they sue now, they will be so ed over it would be awesome!!!

    The Lakers are 29-6 because of Gasol. Otherwise, they'd be just another good team (just like us, NOH, ORL, etc). Gasol made the Lakers so much better it is not even funny.

    I'd rather that trade never happened and I blame MEM for it. I could care less if the Portland.

    without gasol, they're a first-round fodder and will be at the mercy of the suns once again.

    The possibility is there, but I am not going solid on it for a few more hours.

    Again, I haven't said that Pau is not a very good player, but he's not top five in the league good as many of you like to portray it. In fact, you've softened in a couple of posts to the point that Pau is now a "perennial borderline all-star".

    As you mentioned, his brother looks pretty good, and it remains to be seen how Arthur develops, and you have no idea who they are going to get with the other two picks. Again, that trade is only a gang-rape in the minds of bitter fans of teams that didn't make the trade for Gasol when he was available. The Lakers just happened to have the right combination of expiring salaries, draft picks and young talent. You might not find a better big man to put on th floor with Kobe because he has a high basketball IQ, is an excellent finisher and has really good hands. Memphis wasn't going anywhere with him as the primary option, and they probably weren't going to be able to keep him and sign the young talent they're developing.
