What if Javaris Crittenton never got traded away?

Say if Javaris Crittenton wasn't included in the Gasol deal and is still with the team, would he have pulled out his gun or caused any trouble here? Particularly with Ron Artest here?

Leadership is important and being in the Lakers org and being a champion would change a lot of negativity in his mind.

A cross between Farmar and Shannon.

Man I would feel bad if we gave the Grizz Sasha + MGasol + Kwame Brown + 2 picks for Pau

Caused? Last I checked it was Arenas who pulled a gun first.

he wouldn't be on the verge of losing his career...the new story that he loaded his gun makes him to be the aggressor, not looking good.
Thank you, Phil.

If Memphis was as stupid as the rest of realgm thinks, they would have taken
Sasha instead of Critt + Yue instead of MGasol (+ Kwame + McKie + 2 picks).

That would've been the steal of the century for LA.

Surely he would have split Kobe's wig by now.

The funny thing is that Javaris was playing some pretty good basketball (far beyond what he's doing now..) when he was with us. he was on his way to become an ariza and get better and grow in confidence. i call it the phil jackson + kobe effect.

then gasol wouldnt be a laker. and the lakers would still be mired as western conf. semis, or finals fodder...

i never liked crit's game. too flashy, too much dribbling (same can be leveled at farmar), too many out of control shots.

we played him just enough to showcase his potential but none of his glaring weaknesses. imo, he wouldve eventually been traded away anyway.

Then we wouldn't have won the title. He was a part of the Gasol trade. Wasn't that clear?

What if? What if the Lakers never traded Marc Gasol? Hindsight is always 20/20.

Going from LA to Washington is pretty depressing. I'd be pretty disappointed if I were in his shoes, but it doesn't give him the right to be an idiot.

If he was on the team I think Kobe would have put him in his place if he acted up.
