"Pau Gasol to the Lakers (done deal)"


  

          

No links anywhere yet, but my boy works for the NBA and this is a done deal (okp sports exclusive, haha) I trust him enough that I'm willing to risk looking like an idiot... Should be announced by 5P eastern time... Details:

Memphis traded Pau Gasol and a 2010 second round draft pick to Los Angeles for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie (sign and trade), the draft rights to Marc Gasol (the 48th player selected in the 2007 NBA Draft), two future first round draft picks and cash.

I mean nice first rounders but why would Memphis want ANOTHER young PG... The West race is gonna be SO sick this year, when Bynum comes back Kobe will have him and Pau downlow! crazy!!

its gonna be announced soon anyway so its not that crazy, but its a done deal... the teams have to let the league know he always gives me inside info, like random shit, like the all star reserves real early yesterday...

In response to Reply # 16


  

          

not that pau is kg or some shit, but he makes for a reasonably nice consolation prize considering we keep socks in the process. this pretty much means lamar is gone in my estimation. (if it actually goes down)

critt could wind up being a player... but behind fish and jordan, he aint seeing time for a couple years. he would be a very small price to pay for shoring up our front line with a high quality big man, not to mention the fact that this buys is time till drews return.

i assume walton's the one who will lose minutes, so it does hurt the defense once bynum's back. until then, it's not a drop off.

Memphis Commerical Appeal -
The Commercial Appeal has learned that the Grizzlies have traded Pau Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers for center Kwame Brown, rookie guard Javaris Crittenton and first-round draft picks in 2008 and 2010.

The decision was made that the Grizzlies could no longer move forward with Gasol on and off the basketball court.

The deal allows the Grizzlies to gain salary cap relief, as Brown is in the final year of a deal that pays $9,075,000.

If they let Kwame and Aaron McKie's contracts go off the books at the end of the year, that allows them to go for a big free agent. There are a ton of great free agents available at year's end.

Add on to that their own lottery pick plus the Lakers' low first-round pick... and another pick in 2010....

...perhaps ditching Gasol is a good move for the future of this franchise.

the main focuses are Gay Conley and Navarro. Navarro's shooting just made Mike Miller expandable and Crittendon and Conley could be something...although I know both play the same position. There is hope, but not in 08 and 09.

Though the nexy big time free agent who signs with Memphis will be the first. But they have a decent young nucleus to build around. It's too bad they couldn't get an Al Jeff/Deng type in the trade, but they've got kids, draft picks and cap room, which means there's at least possibilities.

Otherwise, they hold on to Gasol and continue to not do anything.

In response to Reply # 51


  

          

He has the vision and the handles of a 1 combined with the athleticism, build, height, and potential shot of a 2. Plus they have to re-sign Gay and have lots of young talent to deal if they want to....and like you said, can make a good run at a FA. They HAD to make some kind of move considering they havent dont anything considerable with Pau.

na for real, I just wanted to post it a lil early because of all the Lakers fans on here... even though I figured nobody would believe it...

this is exciting for the NBA though, my excitement fades every year knowing the spurs will find a way to get into the finals, giving Kobe legit pieces to win mixed with the emergence of the Hornets has my western conference finals anticipation peaking...

TrueHoop just had a post about the Lakers being a possibility for Gasol. Big coincidence or dude with some inside info? If this goes down and the Lakers get hot again Kupchak is the executive of the year. With McHale & Ainge as co-runners up.

Kobe + Pau + Bynum can match whatever offense Boston's Big 3 can provide. Defensively, the Lakers are one of the best teams in the league.

This could be a great year for the Laker fans here. Plus, I do think this could work out for the future of Memphis too (see my post up above).

Gasol is always hurt. And who knows how healthy Bynum will be once he comes back. And it's not like the West is full of powder-puffs who will fold to even that line-up in a seven-game series.

Gay, Conley, and Navarro is the new nucleus. I like this trade for the draft picks and cap relief. Jarvis and those draft picks are trade bait. Then with Stro going, we'll really have money for the offseason

bwahahahahaha

the picks are nice and all but you think there would come a time when a team has to many young players and would want to go after a more seasoned player so said team could compete sometime in the decade.

huge W for Mamba.

Kind of an L for the Bulls. You think Nocioni, Duhon, future #1, maybe Tyrus and an expiring contract would get the job done if they were willing to bite on that LA offer.

You know Gordon was the center of that trade.

Personally, I think if you add that to Gordon, Deng, Kirk, big ben and we become a legit east contender again.

-I think Pax is fucking up and is about 6 months from losing his job (or should be) if he doesn't make something happen SOON.

-I do not like Ben Wallace anymore...based on ONE quote: when asked did the criticism by fans this year bother him due to his 4ppg 8rpg avg his response: "Small thing to a giant." <--fuck him.

-Ben Gordon thinks he's worth more than he is which makes him a bitch. He should get no more than Kirk as Kirk is a better defender and with Gordon and Deng out is proving he can score just as well as Gordon.

-And after having 2 straight seasons with no injuries...all of a sudden deng has a sore achilles and gordon has a sore wrist? Right.

Somethings gotta give.

Yes, fuck him if he said that.

Gordon's an idiot and he is now realizing he fucked up this summer. The league figured his tiny ass out. All you gotta do is put a bigger guard on him and front on those top of the key screens and BOOM, Ben Gordon is worthless. He's gotta go when he still has decent value. If Paxson loses him for nothing, he is an idiot.

>-And after having 2 straight seasons with no injuries...all of
>a sudden deng has a sore achilles and gordon has a sore wrist?

Yea, I dont buy these "injuries."

But damn.... we are taking an L on this one. Pau was one of the few players we could have legitimately acquired via trade that would have filled a need.

o well.

wrong all the time. tyrus and noah? who the fuck is backing up Ben and taking his place in the 4th qtr. and then noch, too? fuck gasol man, dude is soft as baby shit and without someone with size and defensive ability like Noah, then this doesn't make the Bulls contenders. i'm fine giving up Noch and Tyrus, and BG. That should've been enough for Gasol.

and yes, i agree fuck both Bens, they are worthless. i hope pax can get rid of them quickly. i'm holding out hope pax can turn this around, but my patience is wearing thin.


you need to ask somebody about me. you some Newbie with a few posts. fool you coming at me with some turkey and Bread and you ain't no Miracle Whip to make a sandwich and you ain't no conversation to hang. (c) mistermaxxx

In response to Reply # 76


  

          

because that's all your young talented bigs. You'd have to give up Noch for use & decide if you want to keep Noah or Tyrus & swap one for Joe Smith.

That way at least you got one young big coming off the bench.

Lakers trade Kwame Brown for Grizzlies' Gasol

By Mike Bresnahan, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
11:56 AM PST, February 1, 2008
The Lakers have acquired forward-center Pau Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies for center Kwame Brown, guard Javaris Crittenton and a series of draft picks between the two teams, The Times has learned.

Gasol, 27, is averaging 18.9 points and 8.8 rebounds this season for the Grizzlies. He has expressed discontent in the past year with the Grizzlies (13-33) who have not been in playoffs since 2006 and have never won a playoff game since he was drafted in 2001.

He was the NBA's rookie of the year in 2001-02 and made the All-Star team in 2006. Gasol has three more years and an estimated $49 million on his contract. Brown's $9.1-million conract expires after this seasoon and Crittenton is a rookie.

Gasol would fill in at center until Andrew Bynum returns from a knee injury sometime in March. Gasol could then slide over to power forward when Bynum returns.

i can't say i'm upset to see kwame gone...only upset about javaris. he will be a player in this league...but with farmar, fish, and sasha now coming on, i guess he was expendable, especially if we are playing for the present.

once bynum is back, w/gasol at PF and lamar drops down to SF, wow!

getting rid of kwame + dumping cook for gasol and ariza = finally doing a good job mitch!

jerry west must have helped him with this one

Like they went straight up. If anything, Kwame was a throw in to the Crittenton deal.

They were holding him out cuz they were working on a trade.

Well, this can help me if Kobe embraces Pau like he did Bynum.

This Lakers team is scary now.

Could we indeed see a:

Cavs/Lakers finals

or

Lakers/Celts


Uh-oh

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Wow, just wow
Incredible move by the Lakers

Getting Pau Gasol AND getting rid of Kwame Brown in one move...definite props

Not only does this improve the Lakers right now, they are very formidable inside when Bynum comes back (assuming they can learn how to play together, which might take a little time)

Trade off was minimal too. To give up a rookie and a scrub with 2 picks and get a player of Gasol's caliber is a must.

To be perfectly honest, this should give the Lakers a bid to the WCF

and let Kidd end up in clev for larry hughes, eric snow, 2 expiring deals (I think snow, newble and maybe Marshall? all expiring), and a few draft picks.

THEN this season will REALLY get interesting.

Critt, for as good a player as he can become, isn't guaranteed to become the starting pg at the one down the road. And obviously Fish + Farmar is solid enough here.

And even if Gasol flops, getting rid of Kwame on some addition by subtraction is prolly a win in and of itself anyway (incidentally, LMAO @ a Kwame and Darko frontcourt)

103. "I honestly think this is gonna work out well for Memphis."
In response to Reply # 91


  

          

Or at least it's the first step. They're gonna let Kwame's contract expire and use that dough (with the McKie sign-and-trade) to go after a free agent. Then, with two first-round picks this year, they're gonna have a nice young core around a big name player signed in free agency.

The success of this plan comes down to (a) how they draft, and (b) what free agent they can get. The Griz usually draft pretty well, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. But Gasol ain't a #1 option, so ditching him as their marquee player is probably the right move for that franchise, and could ensure their future.

I agree with basically all that. If they're fully comitted to rebuilding then keeping Pau on board, who is marginal at best as a franchise player, is pointless. Not to mention, they've been shopping him forever now - they were getting a dime on the dollar for him no matter what.

Just saying that LA was in the right place at the right time with the right offer. They just dumped off two completely expendable players and some low-20's draft choices and got an all-star 7-footer in return. That's a home run on Mitch's part.

The Nets gotta get at least one good YOUNG player in a deal and without Crittenden they would definitely want Farmar, I dont think the Lakers would even bother going after Kidd at this point now though...

Which the Lakers would be dumb to do.

They can't trade any more first round picks (unless they want to sit out the next five first rounds or something,) Farmar's the only other good young asset they have, and there are no more big expiring contracts to throw in.

i think this makes them legit title contenders this year
but i don't have "title or bust" expectations this year- but a first round exit is absolutely unacceptable at this point.

this cuts lamar down to option 4, which he should be very comfortable and effective as. his rebounding and play making become focal points of his game which shuold benefit us greatly. gasol should definitely stop the bleeding from losing drew. once drew gets back though... if they can play together remains to be seen. i fucking hope so. we should be a hard team to score inside on though, and our rebounding should be tops in the league.

I think both Crittendon and Lowry will go and that will turn into a veteran pg and maybe draft picks.

In response to Reply # 159


  

          

Even though he's traveling with the team, they were going to wait until near the end of the trip to sign his second 10-day

L.A. Times swipe:

>DJ Mbenga didn't suit up against Detroit because the Lakers had not signed him to a second 10-day contract . . . yet.

Mbenga's first 10-day contract expired Thursday, but the Lakers are waiting until later in the trip to sign him to another 10-day deal, basically deciding to have him with the team closer to the end of the trip instead of the beginning.

need i go on?

he wanted ceballos gone
van excel gone
he wanted ej gone

this is pre-chip, smart guy

he begged for a "thug" at the 4 spot for fucking ever, and thats why we got the rodman experiment despite a 10 game win streak

and he's not the first laker star to ask to trade a youngster for jason kidd

you obviously dont know what the fuck yuor talking abuot on this one

southphilly is just straight talking out of his ass

Shaq would continually tell mgmt what to do and prided himself on the fact that he was able to bring players to the lakers. He would even basically make it seem like he was the gm... Everybody in la who followed the team knew this shit, it wasn't something that was hidden

sorry. i dont keep clippings but this shit isn't even up for debate. anyone who followed remotely close knows these are facts.

>we got written and audio documentation of kobe being a bitch
>what u got on shaq except for some bullshit u made up

i didn't make shit up
your mad and your only defense is demanding a copy of some articles written 8 years ago. shaq infamously campaigned for plenty of trades, he infamously gave verbal cheap shots to kobe with slick little remarks all throughout his tenure in LA, and kobe kept his mouth shut and said all the right things for years before that last season where he went off.
its not even up for debate here.

these are well known FACTS- though seldom brought do to seevre selective memory regarding shaq- much like other well loved stars before him, such as MJ, BIRD, MAGIC... etc... people forget some of the great faults of these people

Kobe should take the blame for not getting that as well

Plus he scored 50 that night (ballhogg!) and put the squad in a position to win

Excellent job by Mitch. I think Phoenix's glory days are coming to an abrupt end. Who is Amare going to guard now?

With this deal, Pau and Odom get put their rightful positions: Gasol as the 2nd option and Odom in the reduced-pressure 3rd slot, where his lack of aggression and tendency to be a facilatator won't be a hindrance.

Plus now there's less pressure on Bynum, and the bench gets stronger with Walton sliding to the second unit.

Bring on the playoffs!

True.

I'm just looking forward to him trying to match up Bynum's strength or Gasol's skill/outside game.

Side note: the Grizz are gonna be one of the worst teams in a long long time the rest of the year. And I'm not sure all that cap space is gonna do them any good because nobody wants to come to Memphis.

In response to Reply # 170


  

          

i'm just pointing out the unreasonably intense magnifying glass that is now hovering over every mistake from here on out

the lakers could go to the finals and face boston going a full 7 games and lose in a triple overtime stunner on a miraculous full court heave by rajon rondo

and people would say kobe's bitchmade

if they lose a game from here on out, kobes bitchmade
if it takes a few agmes for everyone to gel, its kobes fault for not making the transition seamless

it took a few games after ariza got here for things to really gel

all i'm saying is there is absolutely zero latitude here and its a little extreme

BUt he has the talent around him to win a Championship. No excuses. If he can't get out of the first round, his legacy will be the man who couldn't do it without shaq.

I doubt he won't be able to lead his team into the conference finals, tho.

he should be able to manage that with the tools he has. he's going to have to play correctly, tho. If he plays the way he did two years ago against the Suns? It's over Lakers can go the distance.

But can he be that disciplined?

It was all Shaq and D-Fish (with some Horry sprinkled in)

No way was Kobe an integral part of those championships

They would have been undefeated during those championship runs if it weren't for Kobe's reckless and rebellious ass

It was other niggas who stepped up whenever Shaq fouled out or caught foul trouble at the worst times, not Kobe at all

Plus, them niggas ain't even like him

In other words, ^^^^ TKHR (Typical Kobe Hater Response)

vital.

Kobe gave that team extra punch when they needed it. He's the ultimate closer. If oyu are down, ir it's close and there are only 2 minutes or less left He's the guy you want with the ball.

His problem is he plays like that the entire game and thinks it's wise.

and didnt want to play the whole season...and was selfish. Only reason he lost weight in miami is b/c the lakers hurt his feelings. The shaq we see today is the same shaq that was appearing in laker land 4 years ago. Now Riley and Wade question his motivation. So I dont wanna here that play the right way bull...part of playin the right way is leading by example and taking it seriously. Shaq had no room to tell Kobe nothin.

All his bitching paid off since he got exactly what he wanted. And while that will unfortunately encourage lesser players to play similar games, I think he actually welcomes the challenge to show folks he can lead the Lakers to a ring. He knows he doesn't have anyone left to blame put himself.

In response to Reply # 403


  

          

from the way i read this shit
it didnt look like he was trying to throw shaq under the bus at all

he was confronted with a very serious situation
and during this questioning, he said- if my memory serves correctly-
something to the effect of "i should have done what shaq does, and pay these women not to stay quiet... he's already paid like a million for these kinds of situations"

it sounded ALOT more like thinking out in the midst of a scary situation loud then any sort of malicious intent. there was absolutely nothing to be gained by telling the cops shaqs business. it wasn't like he told the cops he had info for em if they'd let him go. that sounds like a scare young man thinking out loud. and if i am not mistaken kobe was loaded with pain killers at the time. i honestly don't think he was tring to make shaq look bad, and the scenario it happened in doesn't look that way either.

no, genius, that didn't happen-nor was it. there was literally nothing to gain by Kobe saying that. you aren't even thinking this through in a logical way, you're just spoutin off bullshit with no regard to common sense. of course, your pea brained, nitwit opinion on the matter is rather popular so i can see why you are so fervent.

In response to Reply # 207


  

          

i don't get it. i mean, i understand the idea of "ok, Pau isn't a #1 option, we need to just rebuild and this years draft is pretty solid" but jesus...i don't love the 08 free agent list much (especially not at PF/C which is where they need bodies, except a returning from injury elton brand, maybe).

so, basically, he's got to be gunning for a top 3 draft spot...and that's never smart management. but not surprising.

as for the lakers, this should make them top contenders in the west if bynum comes back fully healthy. part of me doesn't like it because i enjoy hating kobe's team and its inevitable (no longer) 1st round exit. part of me likes it because a lakers/celtics finals would be way too much fun to watch.

had any sort of significant career defining performance in any important game
imo he's kinda like a white shareef abdul raheem
a dude who always put up ok numbers on bad teams
but was too soft to ever be worth counting on when games mattered
not hating
just saying, i don't see how this elevates the lakers pass the elite western teams in a 7 game series
i mean dude may end up being another odom

he's had some injuries..but the guy has been more than consistent when it counts..

and he's been playing center all this time.

now he'll be eventually playing a more natural power forward...and will be utilized much better defensively...

253. "RE: Pau Gasol to the Lakers (done deal)"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

My initial reaction was puzzlement because it seems like Memphis could get more for a guy who's still only 27 or 28 years old, especially since they were supposedly shopping him to Chicago and other teams.

But when you think about it they got an OK deal here, cap relief in spades plus essentially three first-round picks. That's more than Orlando got for McGrady, more than Philly got for Iverson and roughly what Minnie got for Garnett (hard to compare).

Still, like those trades were for the teams receiving stars it's a great deal for the Lakers getting a guy young enough to be there through Kobe's prime, a big man to not only play big minutes but take a lot of pressure off Bynum who I think was in danger of again having expectations exceed production and a guy who wanted to be a less than a primary option.

Good deal for LA, one could say they are still not quite on the top tier of the west but for that to even be a question is a huge step forward.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

good bc gasol couldve possibly been shut down near the end of the year in memphis, but now theres no way that happens in LA unless his back really acts up

but overall i'd never want that many stars on the same team, taking away each others production

When the Lakers picked his brother, but we traded his rights for Pau, so, it kind of blows a hole in my theory and is now just a weird coincidence. Needless to say, when Bynum comes back, the Western Conference is ours! There are no more holes in our roster! We already beat Phoenix twice when healthy, and I say we match up pretty well with San Antonio now. Plus, we didn't give up any reserves that actually saw any playing time. I'm sure J-Crit will flourish in Memphis, but Fish and Farmar have been holding it down.

this season.

I haven't heard this from anyone else, but on ESPN News Bucher said Bynum is expected to be out longer than the two months, and possibly the season. All of this "best supporting roster" talk is muted if Bynum is not on the roster.

My cousin is a top doctor in his field, and was telling me about how severe this injury can be in terms of its lingering effects as the kneecap never is really the same and will have a tendency to slide around much more so than before.

And remember, the minimum was 8 weeks.....toss in the fact that he's a young, possibly franchise player, and that this season isn't do-or-die for this team, I dont think anyone can deny that Bucher could be right. Do I think Bynum will be out the rest of the season? no.....more like until early april.

didn't watch much of him in memphis, watched him when he went up against us of course and he'd play quite well, but i can't just use that as a measuring stick... i know he can score from the outside. is he kinda like brad miller with a better post game?

and does this now mean that when bynum comes back lamar will come off the bench? lamar at the 3, with pau and bynum gives us an advantage rebounding wise but i'd rather start ariza at small forward to be honest.

can score inside or outside and can rebound well. More than likely for yall, Ariza will be coming off the bench. Primarily because of Odom's ballhandling. That lineup yall gonna have now come playoff time is gonna be scary. Let's hope to see a Lakers-Celtics finals. These boards would shut down.

They get Kwame's and McKie's expiring contract. Which means mad salary cap room. And they traded Stromile today for sorry as Jason Collins but his stiff ass aint the alure they just dumped a stupid contract.

With Javaris, i think they see him as more of an arenas than a regular pg. he can give them scoring off the bench i think--although probably not this year. Marc Gasol isn't a slouch either, he likes to bang and is a damn good passer. The draft picks are whatever.

But i think for whatever reason, the Grizz think with Rudy Gay and Conley they might could lure a free agent--although the west is fucking crazy and will be for years to come.

the bulls should feel dumb though. and i fucking hate the lakers but i dont see the suns handling them this year.

His salary is far too high at 13 million for what he contributes + he will be a sought after commodity due to that expiring contract.....and we will need the excess cash to extend Bynum and hopefully Pau.

This is unless duke agrees to an extension at a far lower yearly....im talking 5-7 million.

..........bwahhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa! This reminds me of the SAR (Shareef Abdu-Rahim) to the Kings signing. They thought he could replace C-Webb but he has not even been a shell of C-Webb even before he got injured. Oh yeah..both are born losers, played for the same franchise, play the same position and have EXACTLY the same game on both ends and now they will be playing in the same states trying to replace fallen stars (Shaq/C-webb).

EDIT: Expect Pau to be injured in the near future because that is all SAR has done in his Sacto career DNP!

All they've been saying on espn is that he backs up his brother on the national team. They say he's still playing for his Spanish league team. He is 7'1" though and they say he has great potential even though he just turned 23.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Boston doesn't have CLOSE to the defensive magnitude to defeat the downlow punch of Gasol/Bynum. That duo is capable of 45/25 a game. Is Perkins gonna shut down Bynum? Leon Powe? Large Infant? Get real.

The Spurs are struggling with quite a few squads. They don't have the downlow defense to stop that duo either, plus Bowen ain't exactly the Kobestopper he once was labeled as.

The Suns do have some depth to try to outscore them, but they simply don't play defense. Amare/Diaw is REALLY gonna try to get in the way of Bynum/Gasol?

The Pistons... well, they're playing some young folks now, so at times it's hard to tell what exactly this crew is capable of. But again, I don't think this Piston team is the defensive juggernaut it used to be. It BARELY beat a Laker team that didn't have Gasol OR Bynum in the paint.

I'm wondering if this is the most deeply talented NBA starting lineup Kobe has been a part of. Yeah, there were those aging Laker squads... but a starting lineup of Fish, Kobe, Odom, Gasol, and Bynum? *whistles* That's three dudes, and maybe on occasion four dudes, capable of putting up double-doubles in a single game in a starting lineup.

Oh, and for the record...although I refuse to participate in that other post and that I know he's been there...Kobe cannot bitch ever again. Ever. Period. Mitch did his job...now Kobe, do yours.

In response to Reply # 374


  

          

here, he doesn't need to be the alpha dog. he shoots a high percentage- so we have two front court scorers that shoot at or better then 50 percent, neither of whom needs a ton of shots to put up big numbers. the perimeter game should open up immensely now. which is scary, considering...

we are already a very high scoring team, and we added 12-13 extra points (taking kwame's averages into account) and 3-4 extra boards, which is a huge upgrade.

we do lose an excellent post defender, but we got a much better shot blocker. pau had 2 bpg the last couple of seasons, though he's down a bit this year. add that to drew and roni, drives to the paint won't be very easy at all. so that does add a much better defensive presence overall, because penetrating guards can't hurt us as badly. not to mention each big man has a legit shot blocker to swoop in and blindside their man if they get beat.

he doesnt average a whole lot of assists but he is an excellent passer and should be highly effective within the triangle.

plus, his presence softens the curve on drew. there is no pressure for him to start dropping 20 and 10 every single game-although he was certainly on his way. this merely eases his transition and will soften the blows for his inevitable off nights while he is developing.

plus- and here is the thing that really makes this a great acquisition, but no one has mentioned so far- CAP can actually tutor pau in ways he couldn't teach kwame. pau actually has an opportunity to improve immensely. he and kareem have similar builds, and kareem can teach him how to play in ways that might reduce wear and tear. plus pau has a hook already, now he can pick up some pointers from the master himself. thats really the part of this that i think makes the biggest difference, the fact that pau can actually improve from here on out.

395. "Mark Heisler says questions still remain about their defense (swipe)"
In response to Reply # 372

I also don't think you can just say "Mitch did his job" and that's that. We still have to wait and see if Bynum comes back and then how healthy he is. there is a distinct possibility that this is something that will become a reoccurring issue.


Lakers' trade could have a downside

Adding Gasol, and subtracting Brown, represents a roster upgrade, but it's also expensive and doesn't help their defense.
By Mark Heisler, ON THE NBA
February 2, 2008

News story: Lakers get Pau Gasol.

Comment: Duh.

Does one need to comment?

Actually one does, because it's not as simple as it looks. If the Lakers pulled off a major theft, there were a lot of moving parts and some of them may still be moving.

Here's what we know for sure: The Lakers just got a 7-foot, 27-year-old All-Star-caliber forward, essentially for nothing.

Aside from Kwame Brown's huge body and the soft spot he had in Phil Jackson's heart, he wasn't of much use (appropriately, the Pistons played volleyball on the offensive boards at the end of his last game to nip the Lakers at the wire) and his contract and Lakers career were running out in tandem.

The Lakers loved Javaris Crittenton but Jordan Farmar has been so good, it would have taken Crittenton years to overhaul him . . . if he ever did.

Here's the tricky part:

Lamar Odom was originally discussed in the talks between the Lakers and Memphis, according to an NBA source.

However, Memphis owner Michael Heisley, who has had the team up for sale for years and is projecting a $20-million loss this season, predicated everything on knocking as much money as he could off his payroll in this deal.

With Odom making $13.2 million this season and $14.1 million next, Heisley told his basketball people he didn't want him.

The addition of Gasol will give the Lakers the tallest front line the NBA has ever seen. When Andrew Bynum returns, their front line will go 7-0, 7-0 and 6-11.

Of course, one of them has to guard small forwards.

With Gasol's scoring ability and the Lakers' huge financial commitment in him, one thing is clear:

The moment the deal went down, he replaced Odom as No. 3 Option of the Future.

This one is breathtaking even for Jerry Buss, who has long set the market when he wanted a player.

With Gasol getting $49.4 million the next three seasons and Bynum's extension projected to kick in in 2009, the Lakers will go far over the luxury tax threshold, and this deal could cost $80 million in salary and tax over three years.

That's how they got Gasol. No one else would step up.

The Chicago Bulls, who eyed Gasol for years, could have offered P.J. Brown's expired $12.8-million contract and Andres Nocioni, whom Memphis wanted.

However, to put Brown's salary in the deal, the Bulls would have had to pay luxury tax on it this season, which owner Jerry Reinsdorf refused to do.

This wasn't the Lakers' only option. They could have had Chicago's Ben Wallace for Kwame Brown and Vladimir Radmanovic, according to an NBA source, incurring far less cost.

Moving Radmanovic's contract, which has three seasons worth $19 million left, would have meant the Lakers were taking on only an additional $20 million.

However, the Lakers thought Wallace was old and diminished, which was true. He's attitudinal, too, but I don't think he's as bad as he looked with the runty Bulls. He and Bynum might have been a devastating defensive tandem, but we'll never know.

In any case, the Lakers now have another major piece and we don't have to watch Kwame fumble passes and chase the ball around the floor.

It does bring down the curtain on an unforgettable era. When will the Lakers have another player who hits some guy on the street in the face with a birthday cake?

But enough about Kwame, forever.

The Lakers just took a big step Friday.

Into what, we'll have to see, but it was definitely big.

In response to Reply # 395


  

          

Our key problem right now isnt on the block, it's with the lack of defensive presence in the middle.....cats are not even thinking twice about driving hard to the paint because there are no bonafide shot blockers there. Bynum was becoming that, and therein really helping out our perimeter guys......the numbers tell the story, I believe our D has given up something like 7 more ppg without AB.

a year ago it made sense, but they have Fisher back now and Bynum is blossoming. To have the chance to place Bynum out in the frontcourt with Gasol is not something you let go.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

definitely a good move for the lakers, but there's no telling how it will work out. everybody gonna have some adjusting to their newly defined roles. you swap out a guy that sometimes botched post dump off feeds for should be easy dunks/layups, for a guy who's used to having a team run through him (i'm assuming that's how memphis utilized him?).

to add on lamar possibly getting fewer touches.

interested to see how phil makes use of these pieces.

In response to Reply # 397


  

          

and with the veterans on the Lakers, all any of them want is to win a championship right now. When your best players have only that goal, chemistry is not an issue. We see that right now with the Celtics. They want one thing. And the Lakers want one thing. They're not playing for contracts. They're playing for a title. So I don't see them having any chemistry issues out of this.

confirms that.

i was already enjoying watching the lakers this season, i'm actually kinda rooting for kobe now. perhaps cuz it seems like odds are actually against him? anyway

i've always liked gasol, just haven't got to see many games, the west is lookin sick.

anyone who says college ball is better than nba is lettin the ncaa bend them over. i love march madness and the conference matchups as much as the next person, but the nba has been pretty fun to follow the last few years. don't know if my time on oks has influenced that or if it's just genuinely gotten better.

and despite how bitchmade he was this offseason, the guy is playing phenomonal ball and showing how complete of a player he is when he has teammates he trusts.

I don't think Pau deferring or not deferring is going to be much of an issue at all.

How Lakers' Kupchak melted the 'glacier'

General manager says talks were cold, going on dead, before heating up late Thursday, resulting in a trade that came together quickly and made Gasol a Laker.

By Mike Bresnahan
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

February 3, 2008

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Tracked down at home late Friday night, Mitch Kupchak sounded relaxed and hopeful after pulling off the biggest NBA trade so far this season.

A few hours after the landscape of the Western Conference shifted and shook, the Lakers' general manager discussed the inner workings of the Pau Gasol trade and what he expected from the newest acquisition. He also provided closing thoughts on Kwame Brown.

The Lakers acquired Gasol and a second-round pick in 2010 from the Memphis Grizzlies for Brown, rookie guard Javaris Crittenton, first-round picks in 2008 and 2010, the draft rights to 2007 second-round pick Marc Gasol and retired guard Aaron McKie.

The desire to make a trade began when the Lakers struggled in the aftermath of Andrew Bynum's knee injury.

"Three weeks ago, we would not have made a deal," Kupchak said. "But when Andrew went down, we didn't want to give away eight weeks. Lo and behold, Pau was available."

It wasn't easy, with the discussions heating up Thursday night.

"It's hard trying to make a deal," Kupchak said. "It's like moving a glacier. As late as (Thursday) afternoon, it was dead, and then it came around quickly that night and we were able to finish the deal on Friday morning."

Gasol, 27, arrived in Washington late Saturday night after passing a physical earlier in the day in Los Angeles. He might play today despite missing three of the Grizzlies' last four games because of a sore back, although, as Coach Phil Jackson said, "He'd be totally uninitiated."Gasol was averaging 18.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and three assists a game for Memphis.

"I think he's going to fit because he knows how to play and he's a very good passer," Kupchak said. "I'm not sure I have to elaborate on his ability to score and rebound. He's unselfish and he has a presence that he knows how to play the game."

The move was decisive, and it signaled the end of the Brown experiment, a herky-jerky experience for the team since his arrival from Washington in August 2005 for Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins.

Brown averaged 7.4 points and 6.2 rebounds in 136 games with the Lakers and was booed at a home game against Phoenix last month after a series of turnovers and missed shots. He also had numerous off-the-court incidents, including his infamous cake-throwing caper after Ronny Turiaf's birthday party in Hermosa Beach.

"We had a really good heart-to-heart (Friday) and I wished him well," Kupchak said. "I think we're all kind of disappointed that he couldn't fulfill the promise that we had for him. I think he felt the same thing. That's what he portrayed to me.

"He was very appreciative for the opportunity. The environment will be less taxing and less stressful (in Memphis) than here. Maybe that will lead to better performance."

As with many big transactions, there's often buyer's remorse, which Kupchak acknowledged.

It may not look like the Lakers gave up a lot to get Gasol, but they were cognizant of the unknown future -- the loss of Crittenton and the first-round picks.

Kupchak said team officials were "concerned we gave up future talent, but we want to win today."

Assuming the Lakers continue an upward trajectory over the next few seasons, the draft picks they traded will be toward the end of the first round, making the loss of Crittenton the foremost thing on their minds.

"I think he has a chance to be a really, really good player," Kupchak said. "At the time we drafted him, we drafted the best available player. We didn't know what the summer would bring, but here we are, we have (Derek) Fisher, and Jordan (Farmar) made a big jump."

Crittenton, 20, was taken with the 19th pick in last year's draft.

There were other notable reactions to the trade.

* From Lamar Odom: "We felt like we could compete for a championship with the team we had. With this addition, hopefully that dream comes true."

* And from Jackson, when asked if he thought the move would be enough to satisfy Kobe Bryant in the long run: "I would assume it would, but that's his bailiwick. He's got to work through that. If we have success, I'm sure he'd want to be part of it. If we continue to have injuries, he may think there's a black cloud hanging over our head."

MARK HEISLER:
NBA
A Lakers steal? NBA just has to deal with it

Gasol trade looks even more one-sided than Garnett-to-Boston deal. Around the league there's grudging admiration, though in Chicago they're just mad.
8:18 PM PST, February 2, 2008

So much for the notions that:

* Jerry Buss is saving for the estate tax bill his kids will face and won't spend money anymore.

* Mitch Kupchak is a stiff.

* Kwame Brown never did anything for the Lakers.

* Minnesota Vice President Kevin McHale pulled off the worst trade of all time.

A lot of misconceptions went up in smoke in the time it took to announce the Lakers had acquired Pau Gasol for Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie and draft picks.

Or, in other words . . . who?

That's two contracts, two picks in the 20s and one of the Lakers' two promising young reserve point guards.

In comparison, the package McHale took for Kevin Garnett, which included Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes and a reviving Sebastian Telfair, looks like an All-Star team.

Of course, McHale was sending Garnett to his old team, the Celtics.

Memphis owner Michael Heisley, whose payroll-slashing mandate led to this "deal," has no Laker connection but can have Buss' suite when he visits from now on.

It must be a new day if everyone is giving their All-Star players to the Lakers and Celtics, but as Commissioner David Stern would say, "Mazel tov!"

"I think that the addition of Gasol makes the Lakers the most talented team in the NBA," said ESPN's level-headed Jeff Van Gundy.

"I think they could have fallen in the standings without Andrew Bynum and have been a sixth, seventh or eighth seed possibly fallen into the lottery. . . .

"When Bynum comes back they have the most versatile front line in the NBA and the best closer in the game in Kobe Bryant."

In 28 NBA cities, there's reluctant admiration and/or consternation as the great preening purple-and-gold darling-of-La-La Land arises once more.

There's utter dismay in Chicago, where Bulls fans were finally over not getting Bryant and focused on something doable, like Gasol.

As a Chicago Tribune headline put it:

Joke of a Deal . . . to Bulls

Gasol trade's laughable terms make Bryant, the Lakers and the NBA happy

"Before the season, Bulls players indicated they were distracted by trade talk involving Bryant," wrote the Tribune's Sam Smith.

"Now that there's unlikely to be any movement, will they play better?"

Scratch one rising power in the East. If you want to know what time it is in Chicago, blizzard or no blizzard, it's baseball season!

Of course, being in the business of explaining everything, this is because . . . because . . .

Uh, stuff happens?

It's actually because of the difficulty of moving big contracts in the salary cap era, which becomes even more difficult the longer a team puts it off.

Amazingly, the Lakers faced that very dilemma four months ago when Buss said he "would certainly listen" to offers for Bryant . . . who then proceeded to send his agent out to solicit some . . . which turned out to be laughable.

Laughable is the name of the game when teams put stars on the market, since everyone knows they wouldn't do it unless there was a big problem.

The natural inclination is to recoil at the lowball offers . . . after which the star gets closer to the end of his contract and his value drops even more.

Nor are there any secrets.

Minnesota drew the process out for years, giving us more chances to write about it, until even we were getting tired of it.

A child could have figured out the Timberwolves' dilemma (which is why we were all over this one).

Garnett was increasingly frustrated, venting periodically, although he remained true blue, or forest green, to the end.

The team got worse annually.

His contract was running out in 2009.

He wanted an extension.

Conclusion: Duh.

Finally realizing he was at an impasse, Minnesota owner Glen Taylor decided not to give KG $20 million a year to finish No. 12 with nobodies and it was time for action!

For his part, Heisley thought he had his team sold last season but his buyer, the Christian Laettner-Brian Davis group, turned out to be more like a comedy act.

With Heisley determined to slash costs, the long-anticipated deal for Gasol, his highest-paid player at $13.7 million although he was midway between a franchise player and a No. 2 option, was a foregone conclusion.

Lakers fans' jubilation notwithstanding, their team will have transition issues with a front line that goes 7-0, 7-0 and 6-11, and Bynum out until March.

So they're not a lock and may not even be a favorite in the playoffs against all the battle-tested West teams that have been together for years . . . this season.

The really good news for the Lakers was already unfolding. If Bynum keeps improving, as he has, and Bryant comes back to them, as he is, they're back.

Last week Bryant called Bynum "the player I prayed for" but this deal seemed to remove the last doubt from Kobe's mind.

In what amounted to a blanket apology for last summer's week-long barrage, Bryant said, "It shows a level of commitment that I questioned over the summer. I have to take my hat off to Buss and Mitch. . . . Now it's on us."

That's us, as in if they can't do it this season, he thinks they can next season, not to mention the ones after that.

As Stern might say, "Don't ever leave me again."

...I work over at CBS in Studio City. Both CBS News and KCAL shoot there. On Thursday, I was walking over to the soundstage when I see a dude driving toward me that looks familiar. I go, "Naw, couldn't be." and as his car passes, I turn and see, on the license plate frame: Lexus of Memphis.

He comes back my way about 20 seconds later (because he's clearly lost) and I go, "Yep, that's definitely Jerry West."

So - my question is - has he commented on the trade via CBS or KCAL?

Gasol is ready to beef up Lakers

He gets taste of fans' fervor at LAX and a burger joint before joining new team. He expects to play Tuesday.
By Mike Bresnahan, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
February 3, 2008
WASHINGTON -- And you think you've had busy days?

Pau Gasol woke up in Memphis on Friday morning, flew to Los Angeles for a physical exam, then flew back to catch up with the Lakers, arriving at the team hotel here 15 minutes before midnight.

It was all worth it to him. The newest member of the Lakers was already being recognized in only a few short hours on the ground in L.A..

"I had a taste of people's reaction today in L.A. at the few places that I'd been," he said. "At LAX, a lot of pictures. I signed the L.A. Times a few times. Then the driver went to In-N-Out Burger next to the airport and people were crazy. They were really excited and they were really pulling for me and for the team. The expectations obviously are really high, and that's also exciting."

Exciting, yes. Overwhelming? No.

Some fans and analysts have already penciled in the Lakers for a championship run, but Gasol favored the slow-and-steady approach.

"There's still a lot of steps to take before getting to that championship-game possibility," he said. "Positioning in the playoffs is going to be crucial . . . because I think it's going to be pretty tight in the West. I'm just happy to have the opportunity to help the Lakers move up and become a better and stronger team."

Gasol passed his physical but said he did not think he would play today against Washington. He has a sore back that kept him out of three of his last four Grizzlies games, and he is not overly familiar with the triangle offense, other than running against it a few times in practice when preparing to play the Lakers.

"It's just getting to know everybody and getting adjusted," he said, pointing to a more probable debut Tuesday in New Jersey.

In the end, he had finally arrived after a day that was long, travel-heavy and complete with a confidence-boost from Lakers fans.

It was a day that Gasol aptly said was "anything but quiet."
