Classy move from a Laker fan, as usual..
Damn, that Gasol trade really gave Laker fans their swagger back..I remember how quiet they were during those dark years..
Dear Tlong:
This is your fault . You brought this upon your franchise. The basketball Gods do not look favorably on the thousands of ty irrelevant Blazer threads you continually plague the internet with.
I'm disheartened. Really, it truly is a travesty. I was looking forward to Andrew Bynum destroying Oden in the regular season and then the playoffs.
You did this tlong. Time to atone for your sins you piece of garbage!
Now, let us praise Oden's very short and unremarkable career. We say goodbye as Greg now ascends to his next life as Sam Bowie 2.0.
with love and compassion and the memory of what could have been,
KD

I hope Bynum stays healthy btw, he seems like a good dude..
If Bynum goes down, the Lakers will still have the best team and my fantasy team will be in the crapper. Double Whammy.
...not if lets say Kobe goes down
lol you wouldn't have made it anywhere is 2008 with out that trade.
This is true Spurs fans and you need to get this fact straight going forward. The Lakers, before the Pau trade and just before Bynum went down, had the best record in the west.
Everything has to be spelled out for you.
After Bynum went down you wouldn't have made it anywhere with out getting Gasol. You certainly wouldn't have finished with a better record that season either with out Bynum and getting Gasol to replace him for the rest of the season.
Of course I know that, but they wouldn't have finished with the best record with an injured Bynum and No Gasol.
No. If Bynum went down, and Pau was not brought in, the Lakers would not have gone through the west. There is only a few players that could have come in that could make that statement true. I don't know who you are eluding to that would have come besides Pau.
You would not have finished with the best record.
If you want to keep saying you would have great. Keep going.
Another reason you needed that Gasol trade is because either Stern or the Lakers their pants when I team like Phoenix that owned the Lakers got Shaq. You needed more size to compete. Who knows if we didn't knock off Phoenix for you u might have been owned by them yet again.
Yeah I did and I just realized. Too late for the edit though. Oh well a small up on my part, nothing that you guys don't do daily. If you faced Phoenix do you think you win that series? Phoenix just happened to get beat by a Spurs team that was healthy in that series. Phoenix to the Lakers back then was like Dallas is to us. I was actually looking forward to a Shaq Vs Kobe series.
I don't mean to nitpick, but the Suns had the best record in the West on the day of the Pau Gasol trade. The Lakers were 28-16, and the Spurs were 29-16. Not that it really matters, I'm just fact-checking.
Old men usually suffer from osteoporosis
His retirement speech wasn't as good as jordan's though
All the teams finished within a few games of each other. The is no way that the Lakers would have finished first with out getting Gasol and Bynum out is all I am saying.I don't mean to nitpick, but the Suns had the best record in the West on the day of the Pau Gasol trade.

btw do you think the Suns could have pushed LA that year if they met in the playoffs? I really thought that if the Spurs didn't get to the finals that Phoenix had the next best chance with LA third.
The only ST poster douchier than lakaluva is 21_Abortions.
When did the Pau trade happen? I was referring to the "day" Bynum went down. I think the Lakers had the best record at that point. Then between the Bynum injury and Pau trade, I think they slipped a little.I don't mean to nitpick, but the Suns had the best record in the West on the day of the Pau Gasol trade.

I'm a little too tired to do the research, but I know the Pau trade occurred on Feb. 1, 2008. I think the Lakers did have the 1-seed at one point before that, but the Suns had it for most of that early stretch.
Had the Suns kept their original lineup, with Marion instead of Shaq, I think the Suns would have had a chance against the Lakers, in spite of the size difference. The Suns and Shaq were never a good fit, and were never destined to get very far in the playoffs.
The Lakers still had the 1 seed at one point and smashed the Suns. Bynum was improving game by game.
Point was Kobe + Healthy Bynum = top 3 seed in the West that year.
The days of calling the Gasol trade a robbery is over. Marc Gasol 15 and 10, Randolph 18, 10 (attained with the cap space cleared from Pau) and two first rounders. The Grizzlies had the worst record in the league the season before Pau was traded and he wanted out.
i think they had a chance.
That first game against the Spurs really ed you up. If you played any other team in taht first round you might have rolled them.
Who gives a how they would have done with or without that Gasol trade. Fact is they did the trade. That's the Laker team now. Man up and deal with it instead of complaining about it in every other damn thread about the Lakers.
Today is the first time I have complained about it in a long, long time.
Why don't you shut the up instead of making stuff up about me going on about it in every thread.
Why don't you tell the Lakers fans to shut up about all the crap they are dribbling in every other thread ragging on the Spurs?
They are arrogant and unappreciative of what they got and act as if they gave Memphis legit players. Marc Gasol turned out way better than anyone expected. No one at the time knew he'd be any good at all in the NBA.
I haven't seen any Lakers fan admit they raped the Grizzles on that trade and came out like bandits, if they did please point me to where they said this.
All I can say is that was so disheartening to see Oden blow out his knee like that. There goes the Blazers season, they can make the playoffs but no shot at the WCF at all. I hope Oden gets better and it is just awful that it happened like that, as a fan of NBA basketball it just hurts to see a guy go down like that, this could impact the rest of his NBA career.
It's just a laker fan being a . Nothing new here.
