Credits: 133,827 | Pau Gasol Traded to Lakers ESPN just reported that Pau Gasol has been traded to the Lakers for Kwame Brown and Jevaris Critterion as well as a couple draft picks.
Lakers could be considerably better with Pau on the team and even better when Bynum gets back (whenever that may be). | |

I think that Crittenton can develop into something special though. Plus, two draft picks will be a lot of help for the Grizzlies, especially in a draft class as deep as this one is expected to be. | |

I bet you the Bulls still could have cut them a better deal now with someone like Nocioni or Joakim Noah as part of the deal. Both those guys I'd rather have than Brown. | |

I'm a Lakers fan, and watching KB play is just painful. He has the physical traits to be a dominating center, but just can't seem to pull it off.
Regarding Gasol, this is only a good pickup if he can actually play. He's missed three of his last four games with a sore back. |

They always list it as a sore back or knee or something usually from packing up their house. |

Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:

With Farmar coming on strong and being young they really don't need Crittendon that bad. | | |

Getting rid of Kwame and a little-used guard in return for Gasol is great. Now if only Bynum, Ariza, and Mihm can return from their injuries, they wouldn't be half bad. |

He was first pick ahead of Rasheed, Garnett, and I believe Mike Finley. Also he a McHale worked really well together to get some well-worth-it under the table deals. |
I am amazed at how many people misspell Rahshon, Jiri, and Chizik, no less on a Cyclone message board.
