We have enough room to sign a max free agent or damn close. How much more room do you need? How many max type free agents do you think you are going to convince to come into this situation?
The idea behind trading Gasol was more than cap space. People are just acting naive. Gasol was *****ing about the losing and had started with the fake back pain bull crap. He was already loafing it on the court. It seems that as long as the player is white, nobody wants to call them a lazy, money grubbing peice of crap which is what Pau was in Memphis. He made no effort to help the young guys. He set a poor example on the court and it was just a matter of time before he demanded a trade again.
Nobody even mentions how Gasol's back was so hurt in Memphis he couldn't even sit on the bench then less than a week later he is traded and healthy. Pull your heads out.
It is disgusting for Memphis fans to be posting crap, lamenting him like he ever did crap in Memphis but whine. Go to a Toronto board and see how much Raptor fans miss Vince. I am glad he is gone and I know his character. I don't care how much regular season success the Lakers have, his lack of character and heart will come up to bite them.
