LA reaching the NBA final raised a lot of attention here in Spain because of Pau Gasol. He is the first Spanish reaching such a prestigious goal in the Spanish

"My question is: DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE GASOL TRADE WAS PUSHED BY STEARN TO HAVE A CELTICS-LAKERS FINAL AFTER 25 YEARS??? "
Nope. Just that the Grizzlies happen to have one of the best GM's in basketball.

If we don't advance to the finals I will never believe in these conspiracy theories.

Nah, I dont think so and I'm pretty big on the conspiracy theories. If the Grizz had won the lottery I'd be all over this though.
I think Chris Wallace is just a pussy and thus he's both a horrible negotiator and prone to fold under the pressure of outside forces (Jerry West, Gasol's agent, possibly Pau himself). Or he could just be incredibly stupid, I'm guessing it's a bit of both.
I always like the international news feed from foreign celts fans though. Good stuff galbilo.

Ah, but if it turns out to be a Donnie for Mark Wahlberg-esque swap we're all gonna look like clowns.

This is true my friend. But what in the fecal-matter encrusted career of Chris Wallace makes you think it will turn out like that?
Chris Wallace sig for LIFE if Pau's brother turns out to be a player. For real.

Well he
almost drafted Tony Parker/Gilbert Arenas. That
could have been a brilliant move. He also saved us the hassle of trying to resign a stud like Joe Johnson, obviously he's a financial genius and was just putting Ainge in the position to pull off The Trades.
But for the sake of all the regulars on the board please either rescind the sig bet or put in place some kind of qualifications for it. Marc Gasol's one of the better players over in Europe supposedly so there's a good chance he could end up "being a player." I dont wanna have to look at C-Wall's mug in every thread because of your rash gambling nature, cropolis.
