OT Rotoworld Reporting Lakers Acquire Gasol

[jandaman]

Diaw + Tucker + ATL Pick

for

Miller and Warrick

Diaw's BYC contract really limits a lot of possible moves. But I'd try to keep Diaw actually.. need another "big" guy... :-(

 

[CaptainInsano]

Diaw + banks + ATL for miller so we can get some shooting going on.

DO IT NOW.

Diaw per size can't rebound worth a spit anyway, ship em out for some shooting which we desperately need.

We get our asses handed to us on the boards anyway, at least now we can go small ball Nash, Raja, Miller, Marion, Amare and actually spread the damn floor.

We try and matchup with Marion, Amare, Diaw to these new lakers we get our asses handed to us.

Need more $$$ coming from our side going to them.

I hope Gasol's injury problems stay with him on his way to LA.

Woo hoo! Great deal for the Lakers.

Hate to see Crit go, but man, Gasol and Bynum down low will be siiick.

 

[CaptainInsano]

Man I think I am gonna hurl, this is really bad.

LA is completely beastly and we can't beat NOH.

I can see with both NOH and LA being so nasty the old top 3 spurs, dallas, and suns having no chance.

Panic time!

Whats scary is I just tried... Kidd + Allen for Odom + Radmanovic + Farmar and it works.

I'd like for that to happen. They lose some of their depth and Nash can ball up Kidd any day.

I like this deal on Memphis' end. Memphis was not going anywhere with Gasol as their franchise player. Now they can rebuild around Rudy Gay and Conley

 

[The Commish]

Expiring contracts for Memphis are pretty pointless because free agents don't want to go there. We're done.

You arent kidding. MEM has changed drastically (GM, Coach, core players) since Gasol was inked to that deal. Nice do over for MEM.

I bet you the Grizz get the #1 pick in exchange for setting up the Lakers/Celtics Finals.

 

[CaptainInsano]

Memphis is showing they know how to get it done. Wait out the west storm while there are so many good teams and stock up on expiring and young talent, simultaneously making your team so deplorable that it could very well get a high pick or two if they suck for 2 years in a row. God forbid with the west being so nasty they could get high lottery picks 3 years in a row.

Just sucks complete balls that the lakers are the ones to cash in the firesale. Bastards!

Wow, that is going to be so spot on nice call.

I think I am going to induce vomiting now.

 

[nashman]

I wouldn't go putting the Lakers in the finals yet, thats a bit premature at best.

 

[nashman]

Gasol does not turn the lakers to a championship team, what the heck are you guys smoking?

 

[CaptainInsano]

I would be pretty angry if I were the spurs right now.

Stern has 2 new pets, and you are now officially relegated to being the bastard child.

 

[LakeShowMan]

Woohoo!!!

I can't believe the Lakers got Gasol without giving up any quality depth. I like Crittenton, but give me Farmar any day of the week.

If Bynum comes back healthy, we are going to be TOUGH. Even if it doesn't all come together this year, they will be awesome next year.

Happy days are here again!

 

[CaptainInsano]

One could already argue with a healthy bynum they WERE a championship team.

This just makes it flat out unfair.

What did we get for KT and picks? *plllffffbbbt* (the noise you make when you stick your lips on your tongue and blow). Thats what.

Lakers basically sell Brown and picks (counting crit as a pick basically) and what do they get?

This basically grotesquely disgusts me.

your being pretty delusional right now. look how well they played full strength and then add a gasol? damn. i was scared of the lakers before with bynum playing so well, now the suns chances are slim against them.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

If we don't win the championship this year, the Suns are going to retool anyway.

And here's what I don't understand. If the Grizzlies are trying to dump salary space, then why the hell would they trade Swift for Collins? Collins has 2 years left on his contract and Swift is expiring! This makes no sense!

I'm guessing that whole situation with Ivaroni and Swift had something to do with it.

Swift has a player option at $6.2M and Collins has $6.2M in guaranteed salary next season. I dont get it.

 

[The Commish]

Anyone here work for the INS or State Department? There has to be a way to mess with Gasol's visa or papers.
