That was interesting, thanks for sharing that. Seems to be very high on J. Grant.

Very bright young man. He seems to have his priorities in order and he's very focused on making the most of his opportunities. Just further underscores the shift Phil has made in the type of players he wants on the team.

From Wikipedia: On February 1, 2008, Gasol was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers along with a 2010 second round draft pick for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, the rights to Marc Gasol (Pau's younger brother), and 2008 and 2010 first round draft picks.
Lakers made it to 3 finals, won 2 of 'em.
Marc Gasol became the #1 center (well, certainly top 3) in the NBA. And he's still with the Grizzlies after all these years.

This kid KO has all of the intangibles to be a great leader. He is eloquent and is not afraid to express himself. If ownership does not shut him up; specifically, when it comes to his interactions with a "can be" lazy player like Carmelo, he will prove to be very valuable to this organization
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

He kind of reminds me of a nice Kurt Thomas. He doesn't have the crazy eyes, but he is tough on the court and is underrated like KT was. I believe he can be a good influence on KP and the other younger guys.

I am happy we have this dude; specifically, at the tender year of 24. I am amazed by this dude's maturity
