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.

So youre thinkin they were just doing the Lakers a favor??

Not "just". But "also". Jerry West comes to mind...
In many other countries it would be common knowledge that certain Grizzlies-related people were bribed. I don't know how it goes down in America.
Either way, you don't trade your superstar in January when the other team is desperate. Chris Wallace's mother knows that. I assume he does, too.

LOL...sorry, but your logic is fuckin dumb on this one, man.

How is it dumb?
Fact: The Grizzlies had plenty of time to trade Gasol. PLENTY. There was no point in jumping on the Laker-offer as if it was a very generous one.
Fact: Lakers were desperate as shit. Bynum went down, Kobe went into trade-me-mode.
Fact: Anyone except a bribed person or Laker-Lover would have looked to get more in that kind of situation and not jumped on this trade a month before the trade deadline.
Fact: If you really are all about saving money cause your team ain't shit, you don't get a worse player with a terrible character who has the exact same contract the year after.
It's not even "my" logic. It's just fucking true.

^^Its not that its dumb. I dunno...Im just not so suspicious of it. I see where youre comin from...but NIK makes some good points too. Zach Randolf was considered a very valuable player at the time. Chararcter issues aside. To be honest, at that time Gasol wasnt considered that much greater of a talent then Randolph. And with the extras Memphis got...it wasnt THAT terrible. In hindsight...of course LA got the better end of the trade. But hindsight is 20/20
