The Suns are butthurt about being called bad preparation for Boston

**DUNCANownsKOBE2** · 05-21-2010

Follow the money. Sarver was too obsessed with staying under the luxury tax. That Thomas and first round picks giveaway is nothing compared to trading Rondo to Boston. As far as the Gasol trade goes, go tell every other team not to complain. Normally a team wanting to unload a star makes it known on the open market. But I think Jerry West got that moron Heisley's trust and stole Gasol for Jerry Buss.

Gasol was involved in tons of rumors around the 2007 deadline and for some reason fell off the radar as a possible trade candidate during the 2007 off season, but it's not like Gasol was considered untouchable. Memphis fans were also beginning to hate the guy, in fact there was a pe ion from season ticket holders saying that they wouldn't renew if he wasn't trade. Call him a franchise player all you want he couldn't even win a single playoff game on that team, they were going nowhere with a team built around him. Now Memphis is an up and coming young team largely because of getting Marc Gasol and using the cap space from the Gasol trade to get Zach Randolph.

As far as the Suns, they didn't trade Rondo to Boston. They agreed to trade the 21st overall pick to Boston and Boston told them to take Rondo with it. At the time of the draft, virtually everyone had Marcus Williams as the top ranked PG in its class, who was still on the board. Boston was one of the few teams who would have taken Rondo over Marcus Williams, when the Nets took Marcus Williams a pick later it was considered the steal of the draft. I still think that trade was moronic because rookie contracts are the best bargains in the NBA, but its unfair to say they traded Rondo.

West was long gone from Memphis when that trade was made.

Everybody made fun of Gasol when that trade was made and in the ensuing Finals when Gasol was bent over (Spurs fashion) & porked by the Celtzers. Only when we drew Orlando in the '09 Finals and had our plate set did the Gasol trade get dissected.

& if Gasol ain't learned his lessons and toted up his cyphers Vs. the Celtzers this time you'll be in here LYAO at us for Pau....+ Al will be dragging Pau's brother before the mast once again. I don't know if I can face any of that.

Before the raping the Orlando has taken, I'd have been skeptical of Bostons chances against you. Now, I'm not so sure that it won't at least be a good series.

If Sheed and Garnet show up, there could be trouble in LA.

**Giuseppe** · 05-21-2010

Especially Wallace. He's been a Lakers killer for years.

Would I like to shoplift the pootie via a 16th against Orlando again? Are the Suns O & 41?

We need to face our fears (Boston) and conquer them. Then me and Luva, Al, the Dr. (Lakers Emeritus), Gem, MACHINE, Milky, Acme, 21, the bald spot, et al can join hands and walk down the path of righteousness justified.

At least that's the way the Old Cubster sees it.

**Agloco** · 05-21-2010

Boston in 6. Sorry Cubby, vindication will have to wait a year.

You can't tell me another team couldn't have offered a better return for Gasol if he was on the market. By the way, I am still su ious of the 1996 Draft Day trade when Charlotte gave away Kobe for a declining Vlade Divac. No one trades a can't miss superstar for a has been center. It makes the "Knicks fixed the Patrick Ewing lottery" rumor seem minor.

You should really get your facts straight.

Nothing was brokered in secret. West was long out of the Memphis FO by the time of the trade. Heisley, as DOK noted above had been on record for months as making Pau available due to season ticket holder pressures and the need to go another direction. 0 for 12 in the playoffs would do that no?
The Bulls made an attempt at him 2 months prior. The entire NBA knew Pau was available and when the Lakers struck, panic followed. Your guys pulled the biggest 20 Mil knee jerk of them all. The Grizz had a plan and in hindsight. can you say it failed? If you can you are a fool. They insisted Marc Gasol be included (Many of us with foresight saw the talent), they got trading pieces, cap space that ended up in Zach, and are one of the young up and coming teams in the league. The trade worked beautifully for both teams. That you are butthurt about it doesn't make it shady or illegal in any way.

As for your Kobe rant. If he was such a cant miss superstar... why didn't the 12 teams before Charlotte pick him?

Nice comeback. However, that doesn't change the fact that the Suns slobber each time they see the Lakers' on the court. I thought the Suns are going to play the way they did against the Spurs. Sadly, Nash and Amare forgot that beating the Spurs isn't the championship.

LMAO 0 and 41

**DUNCANownsKOBE2** · 05-21-2010

I'd rather cheer for a team that is ringless than be such a bad husband my wife decided to kill herself.

I got it figured out:::those ers always leave the house thinking they're gonna be ok. I just won't leave. I'll go in to the living room and start watching TV like I own the f'in place. Here/There, no difference. And when they look in my brown paper bag, I'll have one of those little boxes of cereal and a pint of 2%. I'll break that open, slip down into the basement and commissed to eating it.

Be no problem. My booty hole just relax then.
