In bold text, translated into english: Do you imagine Gasol in the Lakers?

Now, his dream becomes true.

So who wins the trade?

Lakers, Memphis????

ACTUALLY, McKie wins in this one. He gets 700k - 1 mill for saying YES.
700 is the difference to make it work. What a great deal!

Retire, go play with your kids, then have the Lakers call you and ask if you'd like to make some fat cash for taking a physical essentially.

I'd like to see Odom on the 2nd unit, doubt I'll happen but this team is deeeep when healthy.

IMO

Fish/Kobe/Luke/Gasol/Bynum
why Luke...need a totally unselfish, pass first player who will let the other 3 do their thing and Fish drill 3s.

then
Farmar/Sasha/Ariza/Odom/Turiaf
freakin high high energy quick unit, long forwards, hands everywhere

and
Vlad/Coby/Mihmster/DJ filling out the rest.
