Why are you completely disregarding the fact that they got Marc Gasol and 3 first round picks out of it as well? LOL. You too much, man.

Because of those exact reasons you just mentioned. It's Marc Gasol, a complete gamble, who luckily turned out to be serviceable. It's Javaris Crittenton, a complete gamble who turned out to be a complete failure. And it is 2 frist round draft picks from the Lakers, who completely suck cause it's almost like 2 second round draft picks from the Grizzlies.
If you in all honesty believe that this was the best the Grizzlies could do with Pau Gasol, you're either a fanatic Laker-Fan or an idiot.

Serviceable? Lol the guy averaged 15/9 while shooting almost 60% in his second NBA season...Also, why did nobody seem to care when the Cavs gave up way less for Jamison than the Lakers did for Pau?

the thing is, Gasolesque trades happen all the time in the NBA when teams are tryna clear some capspace. as a matter of fact, big name players always get traded to teams for much less than what Gasol was traded for, but these Laker haters choose to ignore that and act like the Gasol trade was some incredible once in a lifetime occurrence, because they don't have nearly as much interest in those teams as they do in the Lakers.

If you are rebuilding...
WHY WOULD YOU GET ZACH RANDOLPH AND HIS CONTRACT?
WHY?
He's a dumb fucktard.
His numbers make him look much better than he is.
He has the same contract Gasol had.
It's like trading Kobe for a picks because you're rebuilding, only to get a super-dumb semi-thug version of Rashard Lewis 1 year later.

^because they were able to get Marc Gasol AND 3 vital 1st round picks, as well...what dont you get? they werent gunna win now...Gasol was in his prime years and wanted to win, not be on a rebuilding team. Gasol got traded for very valuable rebuilding pieces, stop overreacting LOL.

Who gives a shit. Did the Lakers get the best of that trade? Of course. But one team always gets the best of a trade. Im sure Memphis had its reasons. Im sure their goal wasnt just to help the Lakers. You cant really be mad at the Lakers. If someone would have offerred something better to Memphis...they would have moved Gasol THERE.

And that's what I'm not so sure about. Why trade your superstar in January in the first place? After Bynum went down and Bryant went into "trade me or I shoot your kids"-mode, they could have EASILY milked the Lakers for more. No question about it.
