Pau's Twitter wrote:Pau Gasol ‏@paugasol
I will give my first impressions about the signing of Steve Nash by the Lakers on the video chat that will start in about 2 hours!

Pau Tweeted that a couple minutes ago.

Damn Wish I could watch. It'll be like 4am then and I'm getting ready to knock.
Forgot Pau is on Spain's timezone. Getting ready for the Olympics in like a couple weeks.

Steve Nash has always been a huge phony which means he will fit in perfectly in LA

This is such a beautiful day..I'll never forget this 4th of July. I can't believe we got Nash....by far my happiest Laker fan day regarding aquisitions since Pau. Miami thought they had the league on lockdown for the next three years and Mitch performs this magical beautiful act. Kobe/Nash/Bynum (Dwight?)/Gasol (Athletic young players who will benefit amazingly from playing with Nash?)...It's just not fair man. The Laker FO making us looking foolish for doubting them once again. This is just too much :lol:

it hasn't hit me yet. Reminds of me when I wanted Lamr or Bynum gone for Gasol, and it never happened, followed by us getting him while keeping both. Last year I wanted Gasol gone for Nash, and now we somehow managed to get both

Edit: and I know this is me getting way too greedy but it would have been nice if we kept Ramon somehow...we are going to need a great backup point guard considering we want Steve well rested for the playoffs....but F it like I said I can't get too greedy

Well now, Steve Nash in L.A.

I like it. Less because he burned T.O. in the process, but you know what? Good stuff, better here than on the Knicks. The Lakers needed a real point guard, and one who could shoot very well at that. They needed better perimeter offense, better offensive flow, someone who can out-think Mike Brown on offense... and suddenly they have all of that. His age is irrelevant because the franchise is tied to Kobe, who is no spring chicken himself.

I think this was phenomenal. The picks they moved won't be good ones anyway, and this slaps L.A. right back into contention, which is good for everyone.

Well played, L.A.; well played.

....as they desparately struggle to sign Jason Kidd!
