Hi Pauls931!
Heres the thing...I always laugh at the ridiculous trade rumors you hear from fans. Amare for Peja and junk etc.
But the Gasol trade legitimizes pretty much any scenario you could think of. If Memphis is willing to trade Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown, what trade scenario could POSSIBLY out of the question?
Hi Pauls931!
Pauls is dead, long live Tragic!
The fact you reversed the picture in my avatar gave it away. The only other time someone has done that is when you did it to D228's avatar.
Since when were blocks "empty stats?" Jefferson averaged more blocks last year than Gasol, not to mention rebounds (11 per to Marc's 7 per), pts (more than DOUBLE), and fewer turnovers than Marc, even though he played 6 more minutes per game than Gasol.
As for this year, everyone knows Jefferson is coming back from a MAJOR knee surgery, so it's kinda unfair to compare him right now to a healthy Marc Gasol. It has been LESS THAN YEAR since his surgery, after all.
He is not all the way back yet, and who knows, he may never be all the way back, but I didn't ever remember Garnett averaging 26 ppg when he played for Minny. I think after the All Star break, you'll see Jefferson's numbers back up closer to where they were last year. In his last 3 games, he had season highs in points (TWICE) and rebounds, while shooting 61%.
Nice try, but Jefferson is WAY better than Marc Gasol, even less than a year after tearing his ACL. Keep telling yourself the Gasol deal was legit.
It was worth it to see your quotes when you first noticed me browsing LOL... But sorry, Tragic is here to stay.
I never said he wasn't.....it's a pretty funny troll.
I flipped it to see if anyone would notice and at least give a small visual cue to f with people. Someone needs to get the Goran Magic troll going.
I wonder what picture would be used for that
I'm not sure, Kori would probably ban all of us if it came to that.I wonder what picture would be used for that
Kori's let a lot worse than that go on. Multiple Goran Dragic trolls are harmless.
I'm not sure, someone would have a kick ass thread then the Dragic crew would come in and all over it. It'd be like a swarm of locusts.
They also got Marc "Not Pau" Gasol and Brown had a valuable expirer. Lopsided trade, but not outrageously so, especially not from Memphis' perspective. They got cap space and a promising young player. What pisses other teams off is that the Lakers swapped out Kwame for an All-Star big, instantly transforming them from lower playoff seed to elite.
The Spurs got Richard Jefferson for trash. The Mavs got Shawn Marion for trash. Gasol is of course better than those two guys, but there is always going to be opportunities for the haves of the league to pick apart the roster of the financial have-nots.
The Rapist to be traded for Juiceman. Now that is a collusion in the Lakers' favor.
Chasing after blocks while leaving the hoop completely unguarded when you're the anchor = terrible defensive play. Jefferson does it all the time. Remains one of the worst interior defenders in the league. Easily.
I don't remember Al Jefferson ever averaging 26 ppg for Minny. And I defintely don't remember KG ever leading his team to a 3 and 21 record either.
Shows your lack of basketball IQ. Rubes like yourself that believe basketball is only played on one side of the court.
Jefferson is a "post scorer" that can barely shoot 50% for his career. That's pretty sad. A guy like Dirk shoots 47% and he lives on the perimeter.
Agreed.
Gasol is better than Jefferson but the Lakers also gave up more for Gasol than the Spurs did for Jefferson. The Bucks got absolutely nothing of value in that Jefferson deal. It was a pure rape of a trade by the Spurs, but funny how no one complains about that one.
We Lakers fans on this board don't complain about that one. Just point out and laugh at the irony of it.
I don't see the Spurs stomping all over the west and causing the top teams to make panic trades.
I didn't hearsay the Spurs Richard Jefferson trade should be reviewed by a trade committee because it was a trade that made absolutely no sense for the Bucks.
The Jefferson trade made sense for the Bucks, they were trying to avoid the luxury tax. Technically, the Bucks saved more than a few million doing that trade with the Spurs.
The Grizz saved millions by making their deal too. But funny how the Jefferson deal made sense for the Bucks because of money savings but the Gasol deal was "collusion" and made no sense for the Grizz despite them saving millions. Hilarious stuff. Oh the irony when the Spurs made that deal...we heard nothing but crickets.
Nobody forced you to hand over Rondo, you stupid ass.
Jefferson is way overpaid, Gasol is not overpaid and has way more impact than Jefferson, you act like Jefferson is an all-star calibre player. He has not even been to a single all-star game.
Your regrets are your own.
The worst trades seem to be the ones where some desparate team that is so bad that even elite talent can't help them and gets desparate to unload that talent for salary purposes. They weren't making the playoffs anyway so what they , let an elite player go and try to rebuild with newer, cheaper talent.
Wolves, Grizzlies, 76ers...
