Spurs and Pistons is lucky to have a championships. In this days, the Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Mavs, and the Knicks have the only potential to be a championship throughout the year. OKC best chance is this year. They cannot keep up that line up for long...small market team...thats the way it goes...
I love Gasol...but i think it's inevitable...with Hawks and JSmith sour relationship...and Gasol turning sour on his coach...it's a perfect trade...maybe that will revive DH12 game....
I am a Lakers fan. I love Pau. I love him to join the Heat, via trade for Bosh. C'mon Heat won without defensive Center, between Pau and Bosh, i think Pau with his height is more "defensive". And the Heat needs a low-post scorer, to attract defender, to free up shooter Allen and Lewis. I am hating Lakers management now, and D'Antoni for benching him, and Kobe ranting about him. As if Kobe wins without a talented big. And they don't have a clue if D12 will stay after this season. ****& it Lakers, got your **** together.
i love Pau, when the Lakers got him, instant Championship, i will never forget that as a Lakers fan. It's unfortunate that they hire D'Antoni rather than Phil, whom knows how to use Gasol, and perfect in triangle. If D'Antoni system is the same, run and gun, Gasol cannot keep up to that. Then they will trade him. Then they will make play-offs, then everything is slow-down. Then they will miss Gasol, because he is got on half-court set.
i love Pau...and i like Odom (when he was in Lakers)....i like Eddie Jones too...common denominator..although Pau has not yet been traded... their career suffer after being traded by the Lakers...from being an All-Star to scrub....that will happen to Pau...The Lakers are business, i cannot blame them, do not attach to much emotion. This trade will happen when the Lakers doesn't win enough before the Feb. trade deadline. With Pau and probably a few of those bench players, and/or Ebanks.
i love PJ, the man has 11 coaching rings, can't deny that. But some news said that he want a piece of Lakers, like what Magic has. I guess Lakers owner are greedy enough to let that one mistake happen again. So, they say NO to Phil. BTW, he already had that piece of Lakers, Jeanne Buss piece of ass..lol
Lakers is so rich..they can afford players just to improve the morale...he is a leader, strong locker room presence...his experience on the sideline, probably grooming to be a coach....
i will say again..i love Gasol..the moment he came to LA, they became instant Champion. I love him to stay, but the Lakers will not make it with current line-up..they are not athletic enough. Either they trade Bynum ofr Howard or Gasol for JSmith, the Lakers will be relevant again. With JSmith athletic ability to play defense and run and get back on the other end of the court, that is lacking in Lakers. Penetrating PG will now think twice, if you got a shot blocker down there, and Howard and Smith are among the best of them.
It's Kobe's fault..and it's Coach Brown fault also....the problem is blaming it to Pau, Drew, MWP, Sessiosn, Hill and Blake and Barnes...which to me they play decent and good basketball...and since they cannot trade KObe, they will blow this core...and will make STUPID trades..damn it..just get a coach that will discipline Kobe...which is few.
i love LO but it safe to assume he is over. Lakers are down 3-1 they are done. The core of the Lakers are good, too bad they cannot trade Kobe, so they will fire Mike Brown and will make stupid trade for Gasol Bynum Artest Sessions Blake Hill and Barnes.
right, Lakers haven't had high picks..coz they are winning even with just Kobe...their picks are usually mid-way...having said that, i guess it pure luck also. Some team can pick him up before the Lakers. Or Drew can be injury prone. In 33 years with Buss, the Lakers just miss 2 play-offs..that is something, right?
Bynum would be a great player, offensively he is showing much better that DHoward, but he should also focus on playing defensively and getting those rebound. IF he can, somewhat, help and stop those penetrating PG's the Lakers would be good. Bynum has potential, esp if healthy but his head is way ahead. He needs to be taught the values and leadership. He is in a great "ship" already.

Don't trade Gasol.
