Gary Payton & Rick Fox Traded to Celtics in 5 Player Deal

<< < (8/11) > >>

-VZA-:
I think all of you are looking at what these players have done in the past.  Sure GP is known for having great defensive abilities and a quick first step.  Sure Rick Fox is known for knocking down clutch shots.  But it's all about "what have you done for me lately?"  Where has Fox been the last two years?  The last couple of years he's been outplayed by both Walton and George.  Don't even let me get started with GP.  In every playoff series last year, the Laker's weak point was at the point guard position.  He made Tony Parker look like Jesus in sneakers for two games.  Then when the Lakers started switching up on defense and he went back to his normal self.  Stevie Franchise is good but not as good as GP was making him look.  To top it off... who was the Final's MVP last year?  Is it a coincidence that it's the guy GP was supposed to be guarding?  I doubt it.  Chauncey is OK but is he Final's MVP material?  I doubt that too.  Unless you have GP guarding him.  So basically, I don't think this deal is as bad as it sounds.  The Laker's needed some size and they traded their overrated/overpayed players to get that.  Not bad if you ask me.

The Big Bad Ass:
I personally feel this is a bad trade for the Lakers. But not enough to bump them from playoff contention.

Javier:
GP lost a step defensively, Fox is old and wont even fit in the young team that is full of 3s.


Bad trade? Come on be  serious how much would GP and Fox contribute to this new team?  They have a solid young team.  We'll see
