Today I found out about the Lakers having traded Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, the draft rights Marc Gasol (Pau's Brother) and first round picks in 2008 and 2010 for Pau Gasol and a second round draft pick in 2010. This was huge news that would definately increase the Lakers chances of progressing in the finals.
Gasol will add that second star to the Lakers team which is essential for any team to be a champtionship team. Just look at the past Isiah Thomas & Joe Dumars, Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen, Shaquille O'Neal & Kobe Bryant or even the triple threat of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker & Manu Ginobili. (Yeah I am a bit biased)
But seriously teams can not win championships with 1 star. That is why LeBron James will not win a championship at Cleveland. While he plays there they will be a good team but will never get a good enough draft pick to add to the team to help him out. Unless he is traded he will be one of those champions without a chamionship.
Back to the Lakers, like I said, great move to pick up the Spanish Gasol, and for the Lakers to give up some fairly average players that is a top move for them. Although the 2 first round draft picks could be very harmful, especially as they may need them in those years when Kobe has finally had enough and wants out of the Purple and Yellow.
As for Julians call that this move will bring back the Lakers Vs Celtics finals campaign, I would like to go to the Steakhouse when that doesnt come to fruition. That bet is as good as won by Coach Onski!! Thanks
