Comments on: Pau Gasol Trade, Looking Back http://www.laballtalk.com/2008/11/05/pau-gasol-trade-looking-back/ NBA Basketball News Sat, 02 Jul 2011 07:01:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Joe Basketball http://www.laballtalk.com/2008/11/05/pau-gasol-trade-looking-back/comment-page-1/#comment-34958 Joe Basketball Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:40:52 +0000 http://www.laballtalk.com/?p=462#comment-34958 Are you freaking nuts? The Pau Gasol trade was one of the more lopsided trades in the history of sports. Using Pau's stats to show that it wasn't is ludicrous, considering he has to share the ball with the likes of Kobe, Lamar and Bynum. Of the 4 pieces the Lakers traded, 3 of them are no longer on Memphis. It wouldn't surprise me if Jerry West had a hand in this. Your article is laughable. There's nothing wrong with being a Laker fan and admitting that this was a horribly lopsided trade. You're either delusional, Laker superfan #1, or the biggest Marc Gasol fan in the entire universe.

There is no theory that says you can't have two centers on the court. Especially two centers that are so different like Marc Gasol and Andrew Bynum. Regarding making the playoffs, they most likely would've made the playoffs either way only because of Kobe's presence together with the sudden impact of Sasha Vujacic, but there is a chance. Imagine if the Lakers didn't make the playoffs. They would've not only gotten Bynum back the following season, but also Marc Gasol in a Lakers uniform and also a top draft pick to add on!

Period! He is not extremely athletic either... Cheers. Marc Gasol is a Center, no way he is able to play PF… Period!
