Of course everybody is familiar about the drama that went on last offseason. I won't get into that, but in the offseason, many of us were ready to kill Mitch for not pulling the trigger on a big deal. Now, what if this same exact Pau Gasol deal was done during the offseason? During the draft? We would have gotten Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown, a resigned Aaron McKie (who already retired), and the 19th and 49th picks of the draft. Talk about an absolute steal. And to think the Pacers were asking for Lamar Odom AND Andrew Bynum for Jermaine O'Neal, who is injured once again. Goddamn what a steal
Yeah this trade was a steal.The funny thing is how this trades are never rumored when the rumored ones never ever happen, we were rumored for Kidd, O'neal and Garnett and nothing happen.Then out of nowhere this happens simply amazing.

This trade was a steal, no way around it. We got ourselves a big who is capable of 20/10 on any given night and is a legit 2nd option next to Kobe. And what did we give up? A rookie prospect in Crittenton, the trash known as Kwame Brown, a pair of first rounders that'll be low anyways, and Marc Gasol. I'll take that any day. Hell, getting rid of Kwame was more than worth making this deal.
We might have the gayest roster in the league. There is no doubt in my mind that Luke Walton is an in the closet homo. Factor in Sasha, and add Vlad's metro-sexualness and now Pau's.
