The Lakers are now close to being a super team again.

For the few on this forum that watch NBA basketball, the Los Angeles Lakers just picked up Pau Gasol.


Pau Gasol!!!!




Gasol is an absolute beast, and the only reason that he's not much more recognized is because he spent his career with the Grizzlies.

Can you imagine what the Lakers starting 5 is gonna look like when Bynum gets back!?




C: Andrew Bynum
PF: Pau Gasol
SF: Lamar Odom
SG: Kobe Bryant
PG: Derek Fisher/Jordan Farmar



IMO, the Lakers are now the favorite in the West to win it all.

Definitely a huge pick up, but a favorite to win it all? jumping the gun a bit.. The West is a ridiculously deep conference and i'd give the Spurs, New Orleans, Suns, Mavs and possibly more teams a chance to beat them in a 7-game series.. The Lakers have depth, and they're definitely a much more talented team now, but i give them another year or two before they become a bigger force in the West.. They need to gel as a team like the Spurs have all these years.

But then again, I hope they make it to the finals cause i give my Celts a good chance against them .. but not so much against the Spurs.

I sware as god as my witnes a friend of mine threw a BBQ at his house friday because the Lakers sold Kwame....

I printed out a banner that said 'Thank God Kwame is GONE' for him. A shit load of Laker fans showed up...

I'm a Bulls fan. Always have always will with or without Jordan, with or without Phil.
One thing I am is faithful to my teams. The Bulls will be a top team we've def. got the talent all we need is a leader in the court. We've got a lot of key players but every team needs a leader, if we can find one we'll go straight to the top.
We also need a good coach.

Am I wrong or did the Lakers not trade Caron Butler for Kwame?

That's good management.

Butler for Kwame Brown was a horrible move at first.


But now that they traded Kwame Brown and a couple draft picks for Pau Gasol, it's briliant.


BTW............. I'm not even a Lakers fan, but have always been a fan of Pau Gasol for some reason.

Boston the best in the east and LA the best in the west, looks like it could be a replay of the 80's again

Kwame was a tool. I would rather lose w/o him than have his dumb ass on my team.

I gotta say Paul fits well there with the LakeShow....

It's only 1 game so we'll see if they can keep it up the rest of the way.
