Prime Gasol was fantastic

As a Spurs fan, I remember being upset when the Lakers got Pau Gasol during the 2007-2008 season for peanuts (yeah yeah I know, Marc Gasol, but at the time nobody knew about the outcome at the time)

The Lakers were already good that season and they added the best PF not named Duncan, Dirk or Garnett, a PF who was a perfect fit and beautifully completed their frontline with his skills set

I admire Jerry West, but I hate him for that move lol

west wasn't the grizzlies GM in 08. chris wallace was

wasn’t West a consultant for them?

 

[Terry Yake]

wasn’t West a consultant for them?

this article from 07 says his plan was to leave the team when his contract ended on 7/1/07 but "wished to stay on as a consultant"

not sure if he did though

West plans to leave Grizzlies July 1

memphis got shit on for the trade when it happened because it seemed so lopsided, but it turned out to be a win-win

lakers became title contenders again with pau and marc played a key role in the grizzlies becoming a perennial playoff team

The Lakers lack of "effort" so far is unacceptable. They need to play better.

Westbrook is one of the most inefficient players I have ever seen

stubborn would be an understatement

he's just a dumb player. simple as that

it's too bad they can't take out rondo's brain and replace whatever westbrook's got in there with it

they are just roasting him today on TV and radio for some of his decision making like that three pointer in the closing minutes with like 19 or 20 seconds left on the shot clock

Got the ball of the inbounds got over half court instantly and jacked it up barely hitting the rim
He’s like 4 for 25 from the beyond the line so far this season or 17% or something like that.

Temas like the Lakers don't care about proving they are the best team all season. They only care about making the playoffs then trying.

You'd be creating a top-10 player all time

Lakers got fleeced in the Westbrick deal

they took on his huge ass contract and gave up KCP, Harrell and Kuzma

Those 3 players are balling out for Washington. It hurts to say it as a diehard Laker fan but as someone living in Washington DC I am pleased

 

[Stylizer1]

That's cultural appropriation.

 

[John Price]

LeBron James tried to court Damian Lillard to the Lakers with a swanky rooftop lunch at his house with Anthony Davis

No collusion. Even if it was, collusion is not a crime!!

 

[Breakers]

Westbrook

you just knew he wanted to play hero instead of setting up a proper offense

 

[Breakers]

Westbrook

8 seconds left, down 3, and OKC was like we ain’t doubling this guy as we know he’s going Miss.

 

[Terry Yake]

bron wanted westbrook to be the guy who can lead the team to victory when he's not playing and he can't even do that against the league's worst team

kwame brown might not have even been as dumb as westbrook is
