On the minus side, Miller has never impressed me as clutch.
On the positive side, the Spurs get younger for a change, and ploto and angel have someone else to root for.

Yeah no doubt.....I can see today's youth sporting "Gay" on their back.....
"Pau Gasol Traded to Lakers For Nothing"
- That's what I call "equal value"

The only team I'm scared of is the Spurs....that is all. The rest of them we can compete as is and now with Pau even more so. The spurs have too many intangibles and 1 too many saxaphone players in their alumni not to mention sweet shaving commercials.
Hopefully in 5 weeks.
True.
On the other hand, the Lakers' healthy lineup now looks like the Mavs' worst nightmare outside of a lineup of Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, and three cadavers.
Biggest kudos to the Lakers for swindling Memphis.
Nice. I like Bynum and the Lakers. I'm a Phil Jackson fan (2nd to Pop of course)
I'm crossing my fingers for the Lakers-Spurs WCF, it will be one for the ages!
I can't wait till we revisit the Spurs-Lakers rivalry in the playoffs again. I love the NBA.
Yes, I joined Spurs talk back in 04 after and was here during the infamous .04 shot....loved it since and have took my share of beats over the years....but this is gold for us right now. Still think we're a year out, but finally we bag another all-star calibre player to hang with Kobe.
This move allows us to contend this year, but I don't think we will.
Next year for sure though
Gasol never had a good enough supporting cast. Gasol isn't good enough to carry a team as the best player but as the 2nd or 3rd option he isn't bad.
Would you be saying this had the spurs landed Gasol ??
Ric Bucher is reporting that Bynum may be done for the year.
Nice move.
But , if all they wanted back was nothing (Memphis) we have a few nothing's to offer.
And the Lakers story makes another twist and tumble...
Unlike the spurs the Lakers can reload through trades.
Don't forget they got Kobe through a trade and added Shaq. They did lose Caron Butler for Brown which was a bad move. But they are more agressive in loading up and improving through trades while the spurs need to rely on lucky lottery bounces .
Woo hoo!!! A great day for Lakers fans, the season is revived and fans have something to be excited about again. If only Bynum and Ariza can get over their injuries quickly, this is going to be a dangerous team come playoffs!
Almost forgot - Jerry West is still a Laker at heart!!!
Jerry West:Lakers :: Dennis Lindsay:Rockets
Is this true? I have Bynum on a few fantasy teams.
Jerry West, consultant to the Memphis Grizzlies FO.
In other words, you admit this deal qualifies as Collusion...
I doubt it, Bynum was interviewed a couple days ago at a game and said recovery was going well and he was optimistic about the 8-week timetable.
And I have no problem with that whatsoever.![]()
