He takes so much from the LA media, Kobe, coaching staff and yet he's very professional at the same time
WASHINGTON — Well, the Lakers didn’t wait until this offseason to extend Kobe Bryant to a two-year, $48 million extension.
So how about Pau Gasol?
“I try not to make that assumption,” Gasol said Tuesday. “If I am, I will. If I’m not, I’m just focused on trying to play as well as I can and finish the season as good as I can so I’m in a best a position as possible for next year. That’s just my mindset about it.”
“Generally speaking, at some point we all have to make sacrifices,” Gasol said. “We’ll see. I don’t know what my situation is going to be or what the team’s interest is moving forward. That hasn’t been expressed to me as much as I’m sure it’s been expressed to him and shown to him at this point. I’m just going to focus to continue to play and try to expand my game. That’s what’s going to help me.
“It caught a lot of people off guard unexpectedly without him being back playing and showing how well he recovered from that injury,” Gasol said. “But other than that, it was a great extension for him. As far as me or For the team, what I’m most concerned about is how can you add other pieces around him, valuable pieces so we can win a le. That’s the only concern. I’m not familiar with the mathematics or the equation here. That’s the only concern.”

Role players are supposed to take . You guys are always ting on Parker and Manu when Jim pisses his panties.
Translation: They'll have a one-man team, so...good luck wit dat.
Because LA media and fans have always wanted their own MJ, so the fact they got a creepy, ty version of MJ is okay to them, anyone else is expendable.
and SA fans have always wanted their own version of Amechi and they ing got em....they got him
I'll be typical Laker fan (post-Gasol too! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) here, but hater is right. Pau is a pussy. What other player in NBA history has been so great in the regular season, only to get bullied around by the likes of Leon Powe, P.J. Brown, etc? If that wasn't bad enough, he went full emo in 2011 after his girlfwiend cheated on himand got owned by Aaron Gray--prolonging that series 2 games longer than it should have been against a horrible Hornets team. Then in the WCSF, his matchup with Dirk reminded me of this:
I like Pau, and I know the "prop-up Pau to on Kobe" angle and vice-versa has been trending for years, so whatever. Never understood this forum's fascination with emo, uncir cised euros, though.
if we can't get Rondo for him he comes back at 3 mill a yr...that's all he's worth
DeadlyDynasty, wasn't the story that he cheated on his fiancee, but Kobe ratted him out (shocking I know) to Vanessa, who then let it slip to the fiancee? I believe that was the reason why he was so butthurt towards a teammate. if so he should've learned from the big man before him.
The ultimate team player, tbh, one of the biggest scapegoats in NBA history, too..
tbh, who ing cares what the cir stances were? He's a grown-man, leave your personal problems at home. When Kobe was facing rape charges and sponsores were ditching him left and right, dude was putting up 30-40 a night in playoff games after returning from Eagle. When Duncan was cucked by the guy who tries to sell you supplements when you're working on your pecs, did he cry about it or become even more dominant? He has a troubling pattern of beta behavior. That Hornets series (in which they won) and the subsequent Mavs series forever changed my view of him.
nothing Kobe has ever done in his life is worse than letting a nother live with you for 4 yrs while you're married and then when the wife kicks him out you buy that a Condo right down the street from you....
I could on and on but your hero is a straight Ho![]()
Duncan tbh does look emo once in a while, but he's been through a divorce and his daugher ripped from his hands by a mexican. That's a lot tougher than Pau Gasol's girl telling him to gtfo cause he's an annoying pussy.
But IMO Duncan will bounce back and compete and not go full emo like Gasol did that season. I could be wrong, but hope not
If Pau were to start using PEDs he'd be back in my good graces.
Kobe's stuck at 3.
Pau is soft, but he's pretty much the ideal number 2. That is not to be under valued. He is so greatly under appreciated. Lakers letting him walk would be stupid, but they pretty much have to.
they should do him a favor and trade him to a contender, tbh
you a Laker ass inspector...you know our assholes better then we know them ourselvesDeepy all up in that ...a little tongue to the left please
