Gasol is 32. He has at least 4 good years in him. It is not like he relies on athleticism.

ET played great when he ran the offense. If Doug lets him, they will be fine.

In 2006, all five teams in the Central division made the playoffs.

Dwight Howard has a small window with Kobe, Gasol and Nash, but only Nash is signed for 14-15 and the Lakers are all clear for 15-16.

I don't get what people are talking about... Turner fills right in where Igoudala did.. they were already having trouble finding him minutes anyway.. now they won't.

Nash wouldn't mind averaging 8-10ppg and 11-12 apg.

He won't be able to defend...at all.

theyll probably end up flipping Pau for Josh Smith.

They will have matchups nightmares and could probably have JSmoove guard some of the elite point guards and let Nash play off of someone else.

You got Dwight in the Paint to back him up, and Gasol is a good shot blocker as well.

And Kobe is still a good defender, Artest is still physical but not a shut-down defender he once was.

I don't think that's ever an issue - we wanted him.
