 O god this ones hillarious, somedays man... Pau 17 7 2, Webber 24 10 5, since when are those SIMILAR NUMBERS, btw, Webber last season, first ever missed playoff game, and thats when you need him... and thats the first time hes ever missed a playoff game, how can you say if Pau is a choker or not? Hes never even been in the playoffs, Pau is more likely to choke than Webber is, cuz Webber has been there before and Pau hasnt stepped foot on the court of an NBA playoff game, and the Kings would never take this, Webber is a better passer, and a better post defender, say what you want about the defending part, but last year the Kings were #1 in D, this year they are pretty low, the Kings would become a Dallas Mavs team, because Pau is soft on the inside, if it wasnt for Wright, who is a great post defender, the Grizzlies would get killed on the inside... No thank you, the Kings are keeping C Webb

Considering CWebb's horrible contract, his age(he's old), and his lack of endurance(always injured), and how he gets to play more minutes, he's not much better than pau. C web gets 23 10.5 5.4 and miss half the season, and probably most of the playoffs, while Gasol will get 17.2 7.9 2.5(which isn't that much worse) in less playing time(39.1 vs. 32.3) and play the whole season.
Can you stop it with the "never made it to the playoff" crap? -_- is that all you got?? seems like that's what everybody says to the grizzlies. "oh, you've never made the playoffs". The grizzlies is a young franchise that started in 1995. That's less than a decade ago. So what if they've never made the playoffs, there's always a first, and this year could be it. And funny you said Gasol's never made the playoffs. Does that make him any less of a player?? He's on his third season!! He has plenty of chances.
That's like saying "Lebron sucks because he's never made the playoffs" or "Lebron sucks because he's never won a championship". Sorry, doesn't work that way. Just like how Lebron still has ways to improve, same goes for Gasol. And this season the grizzlies will probably make the playoffs, so you can stop using the "no playoff" crap.
Webber was in his prime when he choked in the playoffs. He was a veteran, and his chance to win was then or never. His time has probably passed, as he is old and will always be plagued with injury problems. It's unlikely that at this age he'll learn to be clutch. Gasol still has ways to go before he reaches his prime. Gasol is only 23, and on his third season. Even if he chokes, it's okay, cuz the grizzlies is a young team, and they'll have plenty of chances at the championship. He'll get plenty of clutch shots in his career, and he'll learn how to make them.
