Well now I'm not gonna buy any of the stuff from Kobe supporters about him just having too weak a support staff. Now he should be able to show me that he really is the best player in the game. Does he make Gasol better (like the best player should). Does his team beat the other top teams?

Yey! More reason to feel depressed about the Knicks.

Great deal for the Lake show. Could be the final reason Kobe stays, and even if Kobe for some reason does want to bolt, they can deal him for talent to go with Gasol, and Odom, unless he's the one that gets moved.

Grizz get cap room, picks and potential to move past the Gasol era that had a brief period of winning, but mostly disappointment and losing.

Bad news for us is Memphis is going to be that much worse now, meaning we may have less chance of getting a top pick this year.

Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...

I think Kwame Brown and Darko Milicic are going to "Bust Out" on the Grizzlies!

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Which shows how sometimes potential turns into disaster.

it wasn't enough to have the two best ever #2 picks on one team?

Swift and Darko...

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Looks like Jerry West is coming back to LA afterthe season - this deal is ridiculous -- for the Lakers!!!

Now - you have a frontcourt - that will average 7' -Bynum at Center, Gasol (finall at his natural position PF), and Odom at SF- damn - I am so upset!!

Laker Fans have plenty of apologizing to do towards Mitch. He actually hasn't done a bad job.

I was thinking the same thing about Kobe too

^precocious neophyte.

The Lakers are not losing anytime soon. So I don't know how valuable the Memphis picks will be. Great job by the Lakers and the NBA for brokering this deal. lol

Is everyone so sure Bynum and Gasol will be starting together? We all know Phil Jackson is kind of iffy on Bynum.

I wouldn't be too sure after this season. Bynum has proven that he is definitely a shotblocker and can score from 2-3 feet in. Gasol has always wanted to play at what he feels is his 'true' position = PF. This would be perfect for Phil Jackson- he now has a passing big man, a Jordan type guard and his Pippen in Odom. In addition the bench suddenly looks very good with Radmonicov, Walton, Farmar, Turiaf. Derek fills in the BJ Armstron/John Paxson role of the guy who can nail the wide open three.

This team -should be rated the best team in the west or NBA -by next season for sure. It changes everything-especially with Bynums development and Gasol playing PF. They probably havethe an even better starting 5 than the Pistons- scary.

SMH......... Isiah been trying to do this deal for 4-5 years and he never got a player as good as Pau!!!

I think their team is sick if the trade Odom for Kidd.

He's never really had any excuses. He gets all the love and admiration for being the best player in the game well he should have proved it by now in the post-season. Also the way you play in the regular season sets up everything in the post-season. This is the only season where he seems to be getting it.
