You keep putting Vince Carter in your posts when you aren't talking about Vince. So here's one Revisited thread for you.

Stop starting others.

Thanks.

So basically, the lakers traded Caron Butler for Pau Gasol.

doesn't sound nearly as lopsided now does it

So basically, the lakers traded Caron Butler for Pau Gasol.

doesn't sound nearly as lopsided now does it

The Lakers sent to Memphis:
A rookie Center who just dropped 12 and 7
Javaris Crittenton who is better than Jordan Farmar
Capspace worth nearly 13 million which Memphis almost turned to Josh Smith at the beginning of this season (Atlanta had regretted their decision of matching it now).

The Lakers acquired: Pau Gasol, who apparently have never won a single playoff game as the 1st option. I mean, god dang it, Vince Carter and Rasheed Wallace won more playoff game than this dude and they got traded for even worse garbage.

The trade was never that lopsided in the first place. Memphis fans are pretty happy about it. They're looking to get good FA this offseason with the ginormous cap space the Lakers had given them.

The Lakers fans are happy about it
Memphis fans are happy about it

Other fans scream "murder!"

[chubster]

No reply? Can someone explain to me the logic behind the bitterness on this board about the Gasol trade?

Tell you what, if any of you can find another team who were able to offer larger expiring contracts than Kwame Brown + Aaron Mckie while willing to give up 2 1st round pick at the same time, let me know. I will gladly join the conspiracy theorists when that happens.

The Elton Brand deal was a sign and trade. I know you were probably 5 when it happened but that's how sign and trades work you sign a guy then you trade him.

You make too much sense for this board.

And the others?

[sedale threatt]

Excellent thread. Let's not forget the Baron Davis trade and of course the Scola trade. Most of these trades were much more outrageous than the Gasol trade as far as talent for talent.

The Elton Brand deal was a sign and trade. I know you were probably 5 when it happened but that's how sign and trades work you sign a guy then you trade him.

And Kwame Brown was a cap relief but that doesn't stop the bitter fans on this board to evaluate the Gasol trade on talent alone, doesn't it?

Beside, a sign and trade is essentially a trade which needs approval from the main piece to get through (in this case Brand) but that doesn't mean that that player holds all the leverage in the trade. Brand was a a restricted FA at that point, if the Bulls didn't like what the Clips had to offer, they could just say "screw you Elton, you're playing for us for another year whether you like it or not." so in a sense, Bulls still got raped on that one because there's no way Elton Brand who was a 20-10-2 threat was worth Tyson Chandler and Brian Skinner.

How come people on this board aren't bitter about that?

Or am I making too much sense?

Celebrate number 15, Laker Fan.

Stop worrying about the collusion.

It's in the past. Let the rest of the team figure out how to combat the gift.

No matter how old the Spurs are, they can still handle Nets gifted Vince Carter and Pistons gifted Rasheed Wallace.

Or are you talking about another "gift"?
