that would be by da K's
He won them 2 rings. That trade was pure bs.
He couldn't win a single playoff game till Kobe took him in.
Before Gaso`s trade l , Kobe couldnt win playoff series or advance to playoffs without dominant big.
Though, Gasol couldn't win a single playoff game till Kobe took him in.
Man I had a wild night las night...back to back dancing bear style performances...off the charts...after it was over Cyndi and some of her friends made me stay over for a night cap...I felt like a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream melting down on top of me...I hate my life....
But on business...Wichita State gives me hope that LA will beat Miami for the le this year in dramatic fashion...(I'm hopeful)![]()
spur fans are so bi polar about pau, now u gots are calling him a dominant big man??![]()
injuries aside, let's be frank here, he's got a lot of things working against him being a productive player: a proven mediocre coach with a proven loser system, an egomaniac chucker and ballhog, and big baby coward crying he wants the paint for himself because he's a severely limited player. IMO, only in D'Antoni's system a scrub like Jamison playing the Matt Bonner role looks better than Pau Gasol
But that's also why the record is not fluke, tbh
talking about the past nono, pau is irrelevant at this point, and has been all season long.. i expect the teacher to be in the working trade him for a package of draft picks next year..antoni cant play two 7 footers imho
Lakers need a new coach and a new system... either Phil or I think coach K would work well for you guys. There really is only very few candidates as long as the chucker is there.
I think trading assets thinking you need to build around that system is a mistake. Get the new coach, see what he can use, then move on.
Trading Pau to shred salary doesn't make much sense either, since they need to take in just as much salary back.
how many more systems are we going to need to be a contender...i cant contro Jims up by not bring back PJax tbh, its to late in the day to keep searching for systems imho
heres a question.. what would you do with pau?
When a hof coach like phil says gasol is a top big man, you listen. let's be real here, when you have 40 year old Nash, 37 year old Jamison, 35 year old bryant, 34 year old artest...
A 33 year old Pau isn't *really* your problem...
The first thing you're going to need is a coach that Kirby respects (phil, coach K) or a coach that has the balls to call Kirby out (phil, sloan?)
I would wait until D'Antoni is gone, which by all measures should be somewhere between the end of the season and 2-3 months into next season... then let the next coach decide. Although with Jim at the reins, you can't take anything for granted anymore, tbh
Pau's has none to the with D'antoni and all to do with Kobe not keeping his mouth shut about his off the court transgressions
thought this thread would explode since most lakers fans over here were not fans of the lakers before the gasol trade, but the thread failed to reach the promised land for some reason. apparently not all lakers fans are interested in threads like this tbh
KillaKobe81 joined the same month, just a few days after in fact, the Gasol acquisition.
Silly thread. Join dates are now indicators of Bandwaggoners?K
people still whining about that trade like the Grizz didn't get anything in return. , Marc Gasol is a monster.
If any Laker fans don't admit that Pau Gasol won them two championships, you're an ungrateful . And now you're stuck with Brokeback Howard as your center instead. gots.
Actually yes, on this forum.
They don't have to admit it. Their exuberance at the signing of Pau is evident in their profile which shows they joined after Pau was signed. They weren't enthusiastic about it prior to that, sans Aristotle. Then they get on here and pretend Pau wasn't the reason they won b2b and hit the Finals 3 times in a row right after signing him.
I suppose Lebron James isn't the reason the Heat won, since Wade won a few years ago without him.
, I'll admit it. The addition of Gasol helped the Lakers win two les. Where were they before the trade? Gettin' turd stomped by the Suns in back to back years ..... without Gasol, they don't go back-to-back.
Gasol couldn't win a single playoff game till Kobe took him in.
Kobe saved Shaq's bacon in Oregon in '00. Media was comin' for Daddy then. Comin' hard. Gonna do him dirt. Gonna do him damnable dirt.
Kobe took Artest in and made him act like somebody.
Signed,
