The more I watched Kwame, the less talent I think he has. Great physical specimen but even I can shoot and catch passes better than him. Too bad I'm 5'7" and in my 40's:biggrin:
Waste of a good body more than good talent. He's still only in his 6th year and you cannot teach the athleticism and size that he has. His really bad play recently you can contribute partly to his injuries, anyone notice that he can't even jump now???
Lakers were playing well this year but this really puts them into the elite teams. Some writers are saying they have the best lineup already.
Been a Laker fan since the 70's through the good times and the bad times.
Not sure exactly how good of a trade this is, but compared to Brown, Gasol is a breath of fresh air. I just read an article that said they are now legitimate title contenders. I must be a pessimist because while I do see it as an improvement, I won't pop the champagne cork until they get there. Im thinking maybe contenders next year, give Jackson a year to get Gasol comfy with the Lakers offense and defense. But not this year.

YES! I'm tired of yelling at Kwame whenever he's in. Get Mbenga outta there too.
Too bad Javaris had to go.

The BIG 5: Andrew Bynum, Paul Gasol, Lamar Odom, Kobe Bryant, and Derek Fisher. I was hoping that the Lakers would get Ben Wallace though.
Yeah that's a killer line-up. Too bad for fantasy owners though, these guys will split points. Good thing I picked up Mike Miller =)
Gasol/Bynum = Robinson/Duncan in the heyday

I had just spoken with family that I thought Kwame was getting traded before the deadline. And good riddance too. If you can't pass, shoot, or play defense, you should be playing a different sport.
On paper, the lakes should be good. But you never know how a team will gel.

We'll see how you guys match up agianst my Warriors next Month ....Webber vs Gasol Kobbe vs Jackson Davis vs Fisher
Go Lakers! Does anyone know when Bynum is coming back? More than anything, I think Gasol's biggest contribution to the team would be his mentoring of our future league superstar center Bynum. Can't wait till Sasha plays on the court as well as he does in practice (they are adamant that he doesn't miss at all).
People his name is Pau not PauL
