He has very nice mobility, can pass, can
get out on screens on D, does a nice job on the
offensive boards. He is their second best player.
He goes down and the Lakers are out. No way
Bynum, in his current state, can touch what
Gasol is doing right now. A stronger forward with some mobility
like Millsap, Brandon Bass or even Scola would
really help imo, along with a PG.

Kobe of course is a given.
Hell if the Lakers took Carmello or Billups
out the series would end.

Gasol could fit in on any team.

The Grizzlies thought differently.
Kidding aside:

If the Spurs would have stolen Gasol
somehow that "trade" would have been
declared illegal.

Exactly. Someone has to let me know which team a mobile 7 footer with touch and skills doesnt fit "nicely" on.

A team run by Kobe Bryant.
Or a team that has Kevin Garnett.
Gasol has done a heck of a job
playing with Kobe ego.

Some People on this very board were all about Bynum
even when the Lakers got Gasol. Last year Gasol was constantly
bashed on this very board after the Celtics beat
him up. Last year it was not fashionable to have a mobile
7 footer on the Lakers. He was too soft.

Kobe plays on the lakers still doesnt he? Im just trying understand. You said earlier in the thread that Gasol fits nicely on the lakers and now you are saying that Gasol wouldnt fit nicely on a team run by Kobe Bryant.

Has kobe left the team?

Edit* Im just giving you a hard time. Bynum has been extemely disappointing. I dont know who was bashing Gasol but the soft label was probably a little justified. Bynum has just been plain bad thus far. I expected a young 7 footer with long arms that could clog the lane, block shots and maybe chip in 12 a game along with 8-9 boards.

Gasol apparently can handle the ego.
Shaq very clearly could not, or vice versa.
Seriously, some of the Lakers appear to
play scared and tight.

Has anybody besides Carmello Anthony said they
really think Kobe is a great guy and fun to play with...

on another note, if someone knows someone at TNT...

Can you please ask them to include subtitles next time they interview Delonte West? Thank you.
