Lakers Championship?

[schmidty]

Ok, so the Lakers just got Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown and 2 1st rounders. I would say that the Lakers just made a huge power move to come out of the west!!! Any thoughts?

[Vbsiena]

are they giving Javaris Crittenton too?

yep

I just watched the lakers vs pistons last night. This move definitely helps their offense, but they need Bynum back in the middle for any chance at a championship.

All in all seems like a great trade for them.

This was a huge trade for both sides...I love that the Grizz picked up Crittendon and 2 first round picks. They need to rebuild. Gasol wanted out and I think they got the best deal they could for him.

Crittenton and Conley at point now that's going to be a good 1 2 punch in a few years.
I like Swift they shouldn't have traded him though.

According to Joe Dumars, the Pistons GM, this was a "Merry Christmas" for the lakers and a "money dump" by Memphis. This trade along with the Swift deal gets rid of $15 million from their payroll. They get youth and picks in return.

Think this is a great move and wish the Bulls would have stepped up to the plate and done this before the Lakers did. This adds the #1 position to a championship team and thats a solid big man. Kobe can bring this team pretty far but think Gasol will get them over the hump

This move is ridiculous to the other team. Lakers made a very huge deal. But I still doubt Lakers to win the Western Conference Finals
