What about our trade of Scola to Houston for essentially nothing but dollars. Some people think that was the worst trade in history. How do you think the Memphis-Laker trade compares with the Scola trade now?
uh yeah, i think i've been saying this from the get go.

dazedandconfused
brings up a argument,
no facts to back it up,
then decides its pointless to continue argument,
bag
wheres the chloroform guy, put this to sleep plz
so scola = gasol now
Anyway...you can tank all you want, but that doesn't mean you are going to get the #1 pick so you can't call the Spurs cheaters, because whether or not they wound up with Tim Duncan was up to fate.
Whereas the lowlife collusion between the Grizz and Lakers...that's just a plain old sleezebag move....by a sleezebag organization.
The Gasol trade tops it.
scola did not want to play for the spurs
spurs tried to trade him to the cavs but they did not even want him
ur comparing a allstar bondafide franchise player getting traded for peanuts to a unproven nba euro player who was traded for a greek bust who signed with a euro team b4 even signin with the spurs?
umm
jealous?
No different than KG to the Celtics. IIRC, four GMs said they offered better deals for KG at the time.
stupid?
Of course, there's no way of knowing if it's true or not.
Cheater.
The Celtics are notorious tankers as well...I mean they had the worst record in the NBA the year the Spurs got Duncan...
Didn't they have the worst record in the NBA during the Oden sweepstakes as well?
The Lakers and Celts are just pissed they aren't the only two teams in the NBA anymore...
Remington you are absolutely 100% right, the Lakers got the bad end on this deal. Gasol is a soft POS euro-trash player with a bad back that's going to give out at any second and he's going to ruin the Lakers and turn them into a lottery team. Your analysis is spot on kid.
The fact that Pop would even say something like this when just days ago he said he wasn't concerned about what other teams were doing is proof he is now worried about the Spurs ever winning another le. He knows full well what Phil Jackson can do when given the talent.
Right. IIRC the Celts odds of getting Duncan were about twice as good as that of the Spurs. That kind of tanking makes no sense for the Spurs.
Were all you guys hiding under a rock when posters like Fabbs and I were saying this deal was collusion, like, 5 days ago?? I even said the deal should be rescinded by the league because it's so lopsided and reeks of collusion. Here and here.
All sorts of posters were saying we're just conspiracy theorists *cough* exstatic *cough* and now Pop of all people speaks out and guys are tripping over themselves to say that, all of a sudden, the deal seems shady.
Sure, we're conspiracy theorists because somehow believing that a trade so incredibly one-sided just happened to coincide with ex-Laker West being president of basketball operations for the Grizzlies less than a year ago and he may in fact still be a consultant for them. That's the same as believing that dead aliens are stored in area 51.
Gee, you think West put the deal in place before he left and figured enough time had gone by? I mean, stuff like this could never happen when million dollar deals/franchise revenues are at stake. Cronyism has no place in basketball.
Where there's smoke, there's fire and there's plenty of smoke here. You know there is if Pop is talking to the press.
I'm shipping off to Boston......woahhhhhhhhhhh!
California here we come, right back where we started from.......
Californiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa here we comeeeeeeeeeeeee california california here we come!!!!!!!
Ok time to shut the conspiracy theorists up once and for all.
Memphis tried to move Gasol last off-season for something close to equal value. The Bulls didn't want to part with their young core and nothing ended up happening. So they thought OK we'll surround Pau with talent and go that route since nobody wants to give us equal value for him. They bring in Navarro from Spain and some other help in hopes of turning the team around. They end up winning only 13 games this season. Clearly their team has no future with Pau. Even worse they are losing millions of dollars because nobody is going to the games. The owner wants to sell the team and the best way to do that is to give the new owners the flexibility to bring in the players they want.
So, Memphis is looking to clear salary to sign a big named FA this offseason. The facts are that Kwame has the highest expiring K of any player available. Javaris Crittenton is a solid young prospect that can always be packaged in a trade if things don't work out. Marc Gasol is a legit 7 footer who is lighting up the Spanish league right now, 7 footers don't grow on trees. They also get a ton of draft picks from the Lakers. Name me one other team that had a better package considering what Memphis wanted and I'll shutup.
@ claiming they actually cared about the players they got back.

I remember THJ. I remember brother!
happens all the time just like when Minne was dealing under the table with Joe Smith and the Pats filming other teams except for the fact that these two teams got caught. Spurs en tanked and they landed the number one pick. Why aren't they investigated? Not giving your all is a major sin in sports. Robert Horry plays dirty against the Suns and the Spurs get rewarded. If Pop wants to talk about a basketball committee the committee would have en vetoed the Shaq for Grant, Lamar, and Butler trade and also the Butler for Kwame trade and also the Scola for peanuts trade so he should shut his ugly face. All these recent trades for the Lakers that went down have been in their favor just like his "thank god they tore down the Berlin Wall or broke up the Soviet Union" or some like that comment about when the Lakers traded Shaq. Hypocritical two face whiny Pop should shut his trap. en Bill Belichick of basketball.Were all you guys hiding under a rock when posters like Fabbs and I were saying this deal was collusion, like, 5 days ago??
