They should have stuck with anything the Bulls offered.

Anything had to be better than Crittenton, 2 first round picks, and cap space.

Memphis is a **** joke...

Why do they want Javaris Critt if they have already have a future PG in Conley? Their backcourt looks fairly decent with Gay, Miller and Conley. If they decided to trade away Gasol, isn't it logical to get a decent PF or C in return?

Seriously, what the **** are they gonna do with Darko and Kwame? Oh, not to mention that they traded away Stro for the current worst NBA player: Jason Collins.... Darko, Kwame, Collins? Memphis is a ****.

Memphis GM must be smoking something really good. He's as good as John Weisbrod.

I still cannot believe this deal, the Lakers absolutely raped them.

Get Mike Miller during their fire-sale. At this rate we can get him for Francis/Snyder/Hayes!

Now is the time for Morey to the phone and call Sac or Memphis.

Artest or Miller. I dont care. Anyone better than Battier.
I rather have artest than Miller but i think Miller is cheaper.

We gotta make a move sooner or later, this trade just back fired on us

Ron ron on how commited he is to the team.

Gasol is a steal for the Lakers long-term, and is utter highway robbery in the short term.

Does anyone still have illusions about Stromile's value? He was just traded for JASON COLLINS. If you have problems with Battier bringing only "intangibles" and not scoring, you haven't seen Jason Collins.

Hah, we'll see how Kobe responds. Gasol is injuried right now but hell yes it was a BIG steal.

Now the Rockets can go for Rafer for Kidd :)

What is going on today, **** stupid trades....I seriously think now we can get Miller from them without giving up Battier. There actually isn't even a point for keeping Miller, with a bunch of scrubs and young players.

bynum / gasol / odom / kobe / fisher ... wow -- at least now when GS/Por/Utah/Den play the lakers, lakers will be favored. but if we catch LA in round one t-mac can forget about the second round.
