    Please put a poll asking idiots in here if
    a) Gasol is a center
    b) Gasol is the inside presence we have lacked since Yao

    See how many answer both with YES and have a laugh

    Anyway, everyone relax. Chris Bruschasdg is not the person you want to get your info from anyway. Last summer he was wrong on just about every single one of the things he was reporting as done deals from his "insiders".

    It would take the Lakers a whole heck of a lot more than Pau Gasol to get Chris Paul.... It seems that Scola, Martin, Patterson, Budinger

    These trades don't make sense!!! A lot more pieces have to involved from the Lakers side.

    Heck if the Lakers can get Chris Paul for Pau Gasol, you have GM of the decade...

    I think this deal is ok. However, if we can pair Pau with Nene or M Gasol, I would love this deal.

    Bring over Llull, and sign Marc 'cause we're having a reunion of the el equipo naccional de espana!

    Gasol bros would be an interesting frontline.

    Hey, he's been working with Dream!

    Call him what you want. Just get him here. No lay ups would not be a thing of the past anymore with Gasol and Howard down there.

    Howard has actually developed a mini jumper.

    That would mean the Lakers traded Kwame Brown and some garbage picks for 2 rings and an elite point guard.

    Bynum tackles people in the ribs midair...Barea wasn't the only victim. Beasley and Wallace also got hit by the guy. Just dirty.

    Pretty bad when you search for a player on youtube and the first 2/3 hits are his flagrant plays.

    As long as they can get a real center, I think this is a good deal. Never was a big fan of Martin. Now with the new rules he will be even worse. I dont like Pau but he is better than Scola.

    I guess I would be okay with it if we ended up with:

    Lowry / Dragic
    Lee / Williams
    Morris / Budinger
    Nene / Patterson
    Gasol / Hill

    Thats a pretty solid Center big man rotation.

    But is Lee/Nene/Gasol better than Martin/Scola/Nene ???

    Im cool with gasol if we include scola and keep chuck. Letting chuck walk was cool if we were expecting chandler, but scola and gasol is not a very good defensive front line (just as chuck and chandler is a bad offensive front line). Chuck and pau would be good together and we wouldn't have to worry about getting "punked" down low all season.

    agreed. If we sign a real center, this deal would be incredible.

    Times like this make me realize that I have too much invested into basketball, because no way should I be as upset as I am to hear this rumor. About to have an ulcer.

    Marc Gasol was a garbage pick?

    Pretty much. LA wins, and Stern gets what he wants. The NBA ratings would be through the roof this season.

    Morey gets Gasol, and I doubt he wants to risk all of that on a rental.


    Did you watch any of the games for the last 1.5 seasons?

    I could be wrong, but I am guessing that we have a better shot to sign Nene if Pau is here.
