Re: Pau Gasol to the Lakers....
Who cares. The fact is that it is over, and the only way things could get better is if Sterling hired one of us to be the GM right?

Re: Pau Gasol to the Lakers....
You guys crack me up. You blame Elgin Baylor for not getting Pau Gasol? I'm not going to say it again because it seems to be a waste of time, but Memphis didn't have any interest in anything the Clippers could've offered. Do you just assume that all he does is sit in his office in a catatonic state all day? GM's are constantly working the phones and looking to find ways to improve their team, yes - EVEN ELGIN BAYLOR. You may be able to make things happen and win executive of the year awards on your playstation doesn't mean you'd be a capable GM in the NBA. It's just not that easy.

Re: Pau Gasol to the Lakers....
Theres no reason that a package the clippers could have offered would not have been more appealing than the lakers deal. Also note how in the press, clippers were not one of the teams mentioned to have offered something.

Re: Pau Gasol to the Lakers....
We have NO GM!!! It's almost comical. We are obviously done and need a to make a big move so why not shake up the roster a bit for the future

Re: Pau Gasol to the Lakers....
why would clips want gasol anyways? don't they already have a power forward in EB? and a center in kaman? and why would gasol want to come to the clippers?
what do the clips even have to offer the grizzlies? sam is the only expiring, so the grizz would have to take on another semi-big unwanted contract, and maybe a draft pick.

Re: Pau Gasol to the Lakers....
either way, the lakers have a hell of a team...and they are relatively young, with great depth to boot...
fisher/farmar
kobe/ariza
odom/walton
gasol/turiaf
bynum/turiaf/mbenga
that's a damn good team for years to come...wow...

Re: Pau Gasol to the Lakers....
Yup. Lakers pulled off the coup of the decade with this one.

yeah, reminds me of the shaq signing...there was speculation that this or that team would get him, then the lakers came out of left field to snag him....
with shaq, it was just the money, but i truly don't understand why the grizzlies would give such a good trade to a western conference foe...
collusion is very high on my list of reasons for this trade...

Re: Pau Gasol to the Lakers....
people talk about the garnett trade being lopsided, but dang. Twolves got someone almost on brands level already at an early age: Jefferson, and a slew of other young talent. So what if they gave up arguably the best player in the league, they loaded up for the future...
But the grizz...man, i just cant get over this. Lakers first rounders is practically like getting 2nd rounders since they will probably be one of the last 4 picks of each draft of the first round. Critt is far from spectacular, and thats actually the only position they already had a bunch of young talent at.
Im so hoping theyre desperate enough to give us mike miller for maggette, or some other combination. If maggette assures them hes opting out i bet they would do it, whereas at the end of last year and beginning of this year if anyone suggested miller for maggette theyd think were crazy, especially after miller's year last year, and his showing with the national team. But who knows they just might do it. OR, even better, cassell for miller, and then they go and buy him out so he can go to boston. The only reason i wouldnt do either of those is because it makes us a better team, meaning worse player in the draft. But miller is a perfect Dunleavvy SG.

since the grizzlies seem perfectly content in gutting their team, maybe we could somehow get conley for maggette...throw in some fillers from both sides...they got critt anyways, who they seem to value, if they gave up gasol for him...
