    Mitch has some balls.

    If the Grizzles wanted Yue included in the Gasol deal, I would've done it no hesitation needed. Just get the freaking papers in and finalize the deal before they change their mind!!!

    Would have been sweet to give them Sun Yue instead of Gasol IMO...Gasol seems like the better prospect and it would have been nice to have him backing up Bynum

    Yeah, I definitely prefer having much better depth at C.

    Well Mitch only said he wanted to keep one of the two, then he said Memphis wanted Marc. So no choice on that one. lol

    I wonder if we gave up Yue if we could have kept one of the future 1st round picks?

    I too would have preferred Marc, I think you would have to be stupid not to. Big > Small especially when the big is a league MVP.

    Too bad we couldn't trade Sun Yue and retain J-Critt.

    It is the Grizzlies who has the right to choose Sun or Marc, not Mitch. Since the Grizzlies has choosen Marc, what could Mitch said? Could he say he feel regret about it? We all know Mitch is the winner in the Gasol trade, he got Paul.Gasol !

    I think everybody agrees with what you said. We are just being monday morning QB's. Marc Gasol was held in about the same regard as Sun Yue at the time...Looking back it just would have been sweet to send Sun there instead of Marc...I dont think anyone is really complaining
