    I doubt any of our guys take it personal. They all know this is a business. Still kind of in shock that the league slit this trade in the throat.

    I know Martin already has a bad opinion of Morey. I doubt it'd impact their on-court performance as much as having a new coach. Those guys are too much of a clean act.

    He never answered the question if you could get better picks, e.g. at mid-season, for Gasol than for Martin and Scola.

    I love Scola and would have to get used to liking Gasol, but I would think that he would fetch better picks than Martin and Scola combined.

    Hollinger has probably never been so right. If the Lakers are holding onto Bynum for a Howard deal, they really need to get that deal done first. Pau is better than Bynum, and more likely to stay healthy.

    This is all bizare should make for an interesting sportscenter..

    I think the owners were just thinking Lakers get CP3 today and Dwight in a few days...

    It's not a "terrible' trade for anybody.....
