I have to hand it to Pau, I'm surprised by his passion. It's great to see someone who cares as much as Kobe.

I'm disappointed here man.... 3 RINGS??? ONLY 3 RINGS?????? If he's gonna be playing alongside Bynum and Kobe for years to come, they better get NO LESS THAN 5 RINGS. No brown font here either (or whatever the hell color that is used for sarcasm)

Why are people crossing out Kobe when it comes to the future?

Meh, after the Lakers gave up on Shaq, I really don't see much security in being traded, not traded, or staying on one team. Unless the Lakers become a loser like Memphis who traded him or the T-pubs who traded KG, then I can see Gasol staying.

With the two towers of terror, Gasol and Bynum, its hard to see the Lakers not contending for years to come even with a declining Kobe. So to that effect, Gasol has a great chance of staying especially seeing the competitive fire he has shown. If he can maintain that he'll stay a Laker and have #16 hanging from the raptors some day.

Also, when you got players who don't have the fire in his belly like Kobe has, you will eventually get traded. eg. Kwame. Bynum needed that fire to be the player he is this season. That's why now you start seeing the expectations being met and then some from him.

Too bad Shaq couldn't maintain that while he was a Laker. Instead he just had Krispy Kreme donut's in his belly.

Thats a great thing to hear from Pau and I hope he does retire a Laker. The fact that he is only 27 and this good is a great thing for the future.
