    The good thing about this is that the Grizzlies used to be a sort of division rival. They seemed pretty decent for a few years. This pretty much makes sure they will be at the bottom for the next three or four years.

    i dont even know how the league could even allow this...its not even close.

    and who cares about the draft picks the grizz are getting??! with pau, kobe, odom and bynum (getting better) they are going to be late 1st round picks

    Jerry West is an idiot. I hope he has something up his sleeve for his sake. Just imagine.. Stromile and Kwame on the same team. hehe IQ points galore.

    sucks for memphis, and especially juan carlos navarro, who gasol brought over. haha oh well!

    damn the lakers are stacked at the big. ugh.

    with gasol roaming 10-15ft out the basketball, imagine seeing kobe cuttin in and layin the smackdown on some fool tryin to box out. wow!!!

    i thought jerry west quit already? well if he still in memphis..i think he's giving his old lakers a gift....


    and i'm being optimistic about this (although the chance of us making it into the playoffs just sunk a large percentage)..maybe this trade will FORCE morey to make a move too !!!

    i dont know what to think/feel. im pissed because the lakers are going to be really good. dumbfounded that the grizz were so desperate. shocked that the league could actually allow this blatant attempt to be horrible.

    this is like insider trading...west must be tossing the lakers a bone

    I think Crittenton is going to be a nice player eventually, but with Lowry and Conley, what's the use in him? They just traded Gasol for cap space and a couple of late first round picks.

    The Grizz will probably be around 15m under the cap next year with only one significant free agent (Juan Carlos Navarro), but Memphis isn't really a free agent hot bed. The best they could probably do would be overpaying for a Ben Gordon type.

    Lakers just traded for Gasol

    For Kwame and Javaris...Looks like they turned Kwame in for something afterall... I don't really like Gasol but this could make the Lakers a solid team.

    that is a very nice way of putting it. Others would have inserted a prison scenario.
