Pau Gasol traded to the Lakers

[GangstaBoogy]

The Commercial Appeal has learned that the Grizzlies have traded Pau Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers for center Kwame Brown, rookie guard Javaris Crittenton and first-round draft picks in 2008 and 2010.

The decision was made that the Grizzlies could no longer move forward with Gasol on and off the basketball court.

The deal allows the Grizzlies to gain salary cap relief, as Brown is in the final year of a deal that pays $9,075,000.

WTF, shit LOLOL, if this is true I'd personally assassinate Jerry West if I were a Grizzlies fan.

I'm hoping Portland can steal Crittenton or Conley from Memphis if the Harris deal falls through

It's good, but I fucking hate the fact that we lose Critt.

[Eddie G.]

It's good, but I fucking hate the fact that we lose Critt.

yeah he's defnitiely got some potential, but getting an all star quality center is exactly what he need.  kwame's pretty much a non factor since his contract's up this year, i'm sure the grizzlies will dump him or resign him for the league minimum next year, lol

It's good, but I fucking hate the fact that we lose Critt.

true, he has soooooo much potential, we'll slap ourselves later for this, but THANK THE LORD FOR GETTING RID OF KWAME BROWN OH DEAR GOD PLEASE.
