and who is going to match up with bynum? Timee.. that leaves Oberto on Gasol... if you haven;t seen the match argentina lost to Spain the the 2006 World Champinship.... Gasol owns him badly... we need another capable big... trade Bonner, Elson and Oberto for something decent please...
They need to do something if there's something that can be done. I'd love to know what they are working on now that could come to fruition soon. I think Pop and RC see the writing on the wall this season and know that this team as built might not get it done.
What a weird turn of events.
Boston benefits from one-sided trades to become the favorite in the East. Now this for LA. Strange. I mean, who benefit from LA v. Boston? Who would ever want to see THAT?
PG Derek Fisher
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Lamar Odom
PF Pau Gasol
C Andrew Bynum
Did the Lakers just become the WC Fav with this trade?
at Kori's post. Which starting 5 is better: Pistons or Lakers?
Pistons:
G Chauncey Billups > Derek Fisher
G Kobe Bryant > or >> Rip Hamilton
F Tayshaun Prince > or = Lamar Odom
F Rasheed Wallace > or = Pau Gasol
C Andrew Bynum > Dice
I'm telling you....Kobe had championship potential before the Gasol trade and was commending the team very well. Now with Gasol we have a legitimate shot when I thought we were at least 1 more year out. We still need to get rid of Odumb, but still it's going to be nice seeing the Twin Towers being fed by Kobe's slashing.....
They almost beat you at home without Bynum
Pistons:
G Chauncey Billups > Derek Fisher
G Kobe Bryant > or >> Rip Hamilton
F Tayshaun Prince > or = Lamar Odom
F Rasheed Wallace > or = Pau Gasol
C Andrew Bynum > Dice
Plus that 04 team still made the finals as it was the Pistons being a better team than it was egos. Age didnt help either for the Lakers that year and that led to implosion. Different team and they arent old either. Oh yeah and Phil Jackson is still the head coach.
The Lakers also traded the right of Marc Gasol reported by Bucher
Not a bad trade for Memphis really
Or we can ask David Robinson to come out of retirement
i think this hurts phx much more than the spurs. now they have 2 bigs to worry about getting owned by.
This is unbelievable. I would have never thought this kind of trade would be possible outside of NBA Live.
The only downside I see for the Lakers is having the cash to pay Bynum when the time comes.
I'm glad the Lakers didn't hold pat on their "we're injured so let's stand pat and wait until we get healthy BS" We're 3-5 without Bynum and Ariza and are in the midst of slipping in the standings. I like our chances come playoff time and getting home court. You have Odom moving to the SF as a the 3rd option with Gasol and Bynum controlling the paint. Oh and we also have KOBE ING BRYANT. Yes, I'm a little too happy...
As a Spurs fan would you trade Barry, Elson, a first rounder and the choice of either Splitter or Mahinmi for Mike Miller? After looking at how Miller is shooting this season (50%+ from the field, 43%+ from three) and how he has even lit up Bowen this year, I lean toward yes.
Wouldn't that be the same notable ex-Laker West who was President of Basketball Operations for the Grizzlies as recently as June of last year? Hmmmmmm.
Don't tell me the Grizzlies couldn't have gotten more for Pau by dangling him in front of other teams instead of this shady back-door trade for Kwame stinkin Brown. The league should crack down on this because this stinks.
I guess I really shouldn't blame the Spurs' FO. They never had a chance and neither did any other team.
the west is freaking stacked...it's going to be nothing but intense matches in the playoffs this year...holy crapoli!!!
You know what...you're right, I remember being impressed with Kobe's maturation when he was on that run of scoring 40 points, with that 80 point game, and when he demanded a trade this past summer...
You're right, not the same Kobe...he just wants to be part of the team now.
I admire your perception...
But they won't because they are dying for a Lakers/Boston finals.
Wow!!
Oh and those run of 50 point games and string of 40 point games came on the heals of crazy injuries and oh, we actually won those games.
i'm all for it since memphis is in fire sale mode...i've seen a bunch of his games because he happens to be on my fantasy team...LOL. but, he is seriously balling. if memphis is trying to "sell high" now is the time to move mikey...hopefully to the spurs
That doesn't mean anything. That's like saying the Sonics are better than the Spurs because of the recent game.
Pop and RC needs to call in some favors.
