Friday morning at work just going through the flow, but busy as hell. Had a minute or two to check the net, and low and behold I checked realgm and i hear that Pau headed to the Lakers. In my mind i was thinking there must be a mistake, maybe it is just a rumor. There hasnt been much talk on the big sites about a mem-la talk. so i never figured it happen. Then i check hoopsworld, and there it is, then i check espn and there it was, then i check foxsports, there it was, then i check hoopshype, there it was.....I was speechless but with a huge gin on my face. All i could say was what a Friday. All i can say is that i have no idea how Mitch managed to get this trade done, whether he spoke to the Logo to see if there was any loops to get him, but i applaud mitch for this trade. it was the greatest move he has made, so far besides not trading kobe to the bulls or pistons. All i could think about was PAU, BYNUM, LO -Frontcourt.....HUGE FRONTCOURT. KOBE and DFISH-Veteran BackCourt......ARIZA-DEFENDER, SASH- pesky defender, FARMAR and TURIAF-Energy guys, Luke, vlad, dj, mihm, coby....wow WCF. I already imagined us playing the spurs without any fear at all. Still speechless with that trade. haha GREAT JOB MITCH. GM OF THE YEAR I SAY!

The question here would be.... what does Stern have to do with it?

i live overseas so the news came to me in the morning...i was off from school..my girlfriend was at my place early in the morning...i woke up n did my daily realgm checkup...girl was in da bathroom, n i saw GASOL TRADED TO LAKERS on the front page, n i was like ohhhh shiiiittt ohhh shiiiitt wat da fcuuuukk?!!!!!
my first thought was that it was probably a 3 way trade involving odom and gasol...the deeper i searched, the sweeter it got...kwame/critt :bowdown:

I was at work and immediately thought...

"Wow, Miles called it..."

I think he was the first one pulling for us to make that move, way back before Kobe did the 'trade-me' dance...

My reaction: Saddened by the departure of the great Kwame " I have no hands" Brown. NOT. Seriously, Brown had the hands of a vietnam vet with both arms amputated.

I didn't realize how good a fit Pau would be but I was very happy considering what we gave up. ANd now, pau is injured.

The basketball gods are mad at the lakers. Probably has to do with the Lakers waiting so long to depart with Kwame Brown.
