Big Moves

No way I couldnt touch on the Pau Gasol trade...well this is how I see it

For LA:
Well its easy really...getting rid of Kwame Brown's contract(9 mil this year) and well...Kwame Brown..and the project of Crittenton for Pau Gasol is easy...Gasol is one of the forgotten 2nd tier power forwards in the game..he's versatile(can step out and hit jumpers) and can rebound pretty well and of course pass..team that with Bynum and Kobe and well..the 1st round jinx(in theory) shouldnt be an issue.Its almost not fair.

For Memphis:
Taking the Minnesota route basically....well with alot less young talent..they are stacked at point guard...I feel that Conley,Crittenton or Lowry will be on the move again(I say Lowry)..but other than that..its not pretty..they have cleared around 20 million in cap space for this coming summer...but money is only good if someone takes it..but they are going about it in a semi right way...get the team around those young guards and Rudy Gay..get a high pick this year and an extra pick from LA...not bad...and you know what?..I think that Marc Gasol(Pau's younger brother) can be okay in the league one day...but for now...the fans will just have to adjust to the trio of Jason Collins,Kwame Brown and Darko Millicic....sorry
