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.
