Marc gasol is pretty good
-
Yeah that wasn't a bad move at all for a rebuilding team, everyone just hated that it made the Lakers a contender lol
-
How much sense does it make that Memphis dumped Pau Gasol to save money and then signed Zach Randolph? I smell fraud.
Plus, Marc Gasol is better than expected, but Crittenton ain't shit.
-
that trade will remain retarded.
CONSPIRACY!

o well fuck the haters :psych:

CONSPIRACY!
Two future first round picks, 2nd round pick, Javaris Crittenton (1st round pick) Marc Gasol, Kwame Brown, Aaron Mckie. I still don't understand why this was such a bad trade for a rebuilding team ???. Lol if the trade hadn't been made to the Lakers nobody would've cared.

Grizzlies didn't sign Zach Randolph. Portland signed him to a 6-year, $84 million contract extension in 2004, and he's still caking off of it.

the Grizzlies chose Donte Green with the Lakers' 08 First rounder and traded him to Houston for Darrell Arthur; Crittenton is a bust who was traded to the Wizards last year; Kwame Brown is fucking Kwame Brown (nuff said) and the Grizzlies didn't resign him; Aaron McKie was an Assistant Coach for the 76ers at the time and was only included because he was last with the Lakers.
Basically, when you break the trade down two years later, the Grizzlies got Marc Gasol, Darrell Arthur, and the Lakers First Rounder this year for Pau Gasol.
The problem with Pau Gasol and the Grizzlies is that much like the 76ers and Andre Iguadala, the team made him a franchise guy even though he's no better than a 2nd or 3rd option on a really good team.

Yeah but bust or not Crittenton was a first round pick and had a lot of people thinking he's be good some day. And I've never heard of Donte Green but they chose to get him 1st round. I'm not saying the Lakers didn't end up benefiting more but if Crittenton and Green had turned out good then everyone would probably be praising this.

Donte Green went to Syracuse; Memphis drafted him and traded him to Houston draft night. Houston actually traded him to Sacramento for Ron Artest.
I think when you break down the trade for what it was at the time, the only pieces of the puzzle the Lakers really gave up for Pau Gasol was Marc Gasol and 2 first rounders. The rest of the deal were bums that were only there because they were salary throw-ins to make the trade work.

Yeah but Marc has the potential to be even better than Pau, he's only 24 and much bigger. Also, I don't think Kwame is a bum, yeah he was a bust but he could still be a decent role player on a lot of teams. I get what you're saying though, agree to disagree I guess.

Is this your way of talking shit? The point is they acquired someone with almost an identical salary who is also a worse player and has a worse character than the guy they gave away to dump salary. How much sense does that make, nigga?

Did you read my post?
I wasn't talking shit. I was correcting the guy that said the Grizzlies signed Zach Randolph as a free agent. Production-wise Z-Bo puts up numbers, the only problem is that he hasn't been in a locker room that has any discipline.

Kwame was just an expiring contract that Memphis wanted to get rid of. They had Gasol, who was making too much money for a team like them to support, they needed to get rid of that contract to be profitable and sign more youth with potential. They have not build a base yet in Tennessee, so right now they can't afford someone like a Pau Gasol, but they can afford a Marc Gasol. I even thought Crittenton was going to be huge, so I was a little bit sad he left, but now his as big a bust as Adam Morrison so it evens out. Why they traded for Zack Randolph though, I can't answer, but they did actually did trade for Kwame Brown, and I personally wouldn't have done that... lol... even though I did mention earlier that he was an expiring contract.

Stop talking shit already and tell me how it makes sense for a team to dump a much better player for salary issues just to sign/acquire/trade for a worse player who makes an almost identical amount of money, asshole.
P.S. Noone said anything about Zach Randolph and Free Agent.

Umm I have not heard anyone mention Jerry West, who was with Memphis around that time, and used to play for the Lakers.
Kind of like Mchale trading Garnett to Boston, where he used to play and his former teammate, Danny Ainge is running the team. Good or bad if that is what you are being offered and you take it, then it is a close case but I always found that funny with Gasol and Garnett that West and McHale weren't shot in Memphis and Minnesota LMAO.
