Posted Tuesday June 17, 2008, About: Is Garnett a franchise player?

I don't see how this title made the first cnn.com sports website? It is crap your whole post or article while KG Game is 6 is just too strong for LA Defenders
thanks for **** him off
from the Lakers fans #! James from Anaheim
KG is a franchise player, has been consistent all season, in the playoffs,and in the finals, and all he needed was a supporting cast, and look the first year with Boston, he has dominated this game inside. I am very upset watching Game 6 not only have the refs blown calls which led to points say after the 24 second clock goes off, the refs just let them play. Watch the game, the Celtics hack on every play making LA Earn their points, and this strategy is working
The Lakers are not looking good right now, and have not recovered from the first five games of mistakes. KG Is the franchise, do you think they can win with out him? Writers use too much propaganda
Go to Iran

Posted Saturday June 07, 2008, About: Grizzlies owner questions Gasol deal

You know it is easy to question the Pau Gasol deal now, but nobody said anything before. That is because the Grizzlies got 2 good players from the Lakers and 2 future draft picks equalling four players including Gasols younger brother. The Management made a trade, and nobody expected Gasol to play this well with the Lakers. Gasol is a White Center, or Big Man. Kobe Bryant and the Lakers team concept makes Gasol a better player. Any Player at the Center position going to Kobe Bryant would have done a good job. Nobody expected Gasol to be this much of a factor, and he has competed against all the Top Centers and prior MVPs like Duncun and O Neil. I think it is premature for the sports writers to ciiticize the deal. All teams make trades, and the Lakers have historically every so often made big trades to get a Center like Wilt, Abdul Jabbar, and O Neil.
To add the controversy over Garnett not going to the Lakers and going to the Celtics is another Mishap the media and sports writers like to criticise. The Celtics look like they did well getting Cassell, Allen, all Stars with Garnett.
Each Team has the option to make trades and when doing so they give up rookie picks, top picks. Who Knows what they are going to do with those picks down the line, and maybe in 5 years one of those picks turns out to be a franchise player. Guys Leave this issue alone. I think people that are criticizing are just people that typically don't like the Lakers. Being a Lakers fan, we all knew that eventually the team management would get Kobe some Players. People don't realize that Kobe makes the Other players around him better.
