While some of you are enamored with K-Mart and Scola one must realize that these guys have 2 very big flaws in their game. For one they are both inferior defenders. From the looks of things our new head coach will not tolerate players that cannot D up. You must also realize that these 2 players can't create for themselves in the 4th quarter like Pau Gasol. Lets keep things in perspective. Pau Gasol is arguably the best low post player in the NBA right now. Think about that......he is a playmaker. He can create for his teammates and also is much better defensively than Scola ever was. This trade is a no-brainer. Before last years playoffs most considered him a top 10 player in the NBA. That run where they won their last championship he played better than Kobe. So to all those that are so pissed off about giving up Martin give it a rest.

Plus our lineup is going to be 1000000x better on D now. Gasol might be a giant lady part but he's still 7 ft and Patterson is 10000x better than Scola on D. Plus losing Martin.. Hopefully Lee can step it up on O
