We traded the dude and then expected him to come back and give us 100% like its all good. I don't even blame him for not being all the way into it.
fukk Mike for calling him out too, Pau is soft mentally he ain't gonna respond to somebody callin him out.

Too bad Jimmy Buss couldn't get over the fact that Phil Jackson is fukking his sister. The Zen Master would've handled this with ease.

He would give Pau a book assignment, without any media shenanigans. And problem would be solved.

which is why i reaaaally hope they get josh smith. they'll be asking to ship him out once he bricks 5 straight long jumpers:ahh:

This is why Smith isn't the answer. As much as folk try to package him up to be it, he isn't. An offense that runs on regulated fast-decisions and a big that can 'actually' stretch the floor on the regular - Smoove would be its kryptonite.

The thing is though - if Phil was coach, would Nash be healthy enough to get down enough Triangle reps with the 1st unit in order for the team (as well as defensive situations) to capitalise (at a maximum state), on it's 1-season championship window.

Lakers would be dealing with a double-edged sword either way.

:laugh: i remember that

Jose Calderon in a run and gun offense with Kobe and Howard would be absolutely deadly. He is a horrible help defender. We all know that, but he is and incredible passer, has great floor vision and he shoots pretty much lights out.



Pau/Jonas would be really nice providing Pau doesn't take jump shots and works his post up game.

I like the trade for both teams & i hate the Lakers.

It puts the Lakers FO in an even worse situation. Because the only option they really have - is sticking with him and making sure they still have belief in him.

Gasol is being dis-respect big time here. Dude brings it, helped them win 2 championships..they wouldn't have won without him.

And now Pringles comes in, is handed a fantasy lineup..and calls out the one star on the team that he knows wouldn't take offence to his comments out in the open in public.
