I ain't denying that but he was a, say, LaMarcus Aldridge type player. Except he played with worse teams. If LMA was traded to the Lakers, would you say he's a fringe all-star nobody? :leostare:
:what:

No one even had Pau as a top 5 power forward back then.

Garnett
Duncan
Dirk
Bosh
Elton Brand
Jermaine O'Neal

All those players were considered better than Pau.

Mamba Mentality # Kobe&GiGi. #LakerNation #LWO
lol...comedy from Cube but i agree. And Pau was a big pick up for that moment b/c he had motivation (never out of 1st round, etc)...now after winning a few times, marital issues &trade rumors..dude has mentally checked out

Kobe won 2 rings with a fringe all-star player in Pau Gasol. Who was Pau before he joined the Lakers?
And yet Kobe was smart enough to know Pau was the key to getting him some more rings the moment the trade was announced.

In 2008, Brand missed the whole season ending his prime.
JO was already a shell of his former self. He got traded to the Raptors at the end of the season for TJ fukkin Ford and Rasho Nesterovic.:pachaha:

give _______ a top 10 defensive big and a top 50 all time player and they'd have a considerable amount of rings aswell
