Whaddayouthink: Pau Gasol traded to the Lakers
Ball Don't Lie — Pau Gasol was just traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.  My initial thought? The Lakers are going to win a championship. My second thought? The Lakers are going to win a championship.  Why can't I break away from that thought? They probably won't win a championship, but it's an argument I'm having a tough time talking myself out of right now. Gasol can play. He can really, really play. He'll be perfect in the apex of Los Angeles' Triangle Offense, hitting cutters with passes and making it easier on himself to score in the low or high post as opposing defenses try desperately to keep up with all the ...

Pau Gasol Is A Laker...
Stop Mike Lupica — Indeed, the Lakers have allegedly completed a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies for Pau Gasol, in exchange for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, and 2 future first-rounders. The second one (2010) might be a surprising bonus for the Grizzlies, if Kobe opts out early and the Lakers fall apart. Doubtful, but always a possibility. Things to note: The Lakers could afford to take on Gasol long term, because aside from Kobe, they have no other major contracts. They'll still have pretty decent salary cap flexibility to fill in holes down the road. J-Crit was expendable, because Jordan Farmer is still the point guard of the future in LA. Gasol and ...

Are we talking about the same Pau Gasol?
The Hoop and The Harm — Pau Gasol has been dealt to the Lakers. That one came out of left field. Details here. First of all, the idea of Pau and Kobe together is awesome…. But I’m just so confused by how much the Lakers gave up for Pau. I get it, a bunch of no names and draft picks, doesn’t affect the core group, but is this year’s Pau really worth Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, guard Aaron McKie, the rights to Gasol’s brother Marc, and first-round draft picks in 2008 and 2010. I don’t think so. Pau is an all-star caliber player, and his play should be rejuvenated by this trade, but then ...
