not fair, out of all the teams to get another superstar its the lakers. They will compete for rings for years to come since Gasol is only 27!

Wow, talk about misreading the market by Memphis.

They didn’t get a terrible haul, but boy, they could have gotten a whole lot more if they had acted sooner.

Memphis = Minnesota Twins, I guess.

That seems like a bad trade for the grizzlies. I would think that Gasol is worth more than two projects, two late round picks and expirings.

There is no one of any real value going out for the Lakers. I would have thought they could have gotten a better deal from the Bulls. Better picks, better young players and slightly worse contracts.

Would that be the first time two brothers were traded for each other?

Whoa!

The Memphis Grizzlies will send Pau Gasol and a future second-round pick to the Lakers for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, the unofficially retired Aaron McKie , the draft rights to Pau Gasol’s brother Marc and future first-round picks in 2008 and 2010, NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com’s Marc Stein.

“I’m personally a fan of Nix”

Wow– a fan site dedicated to Jeff Nix.

As the director of scouting for the “Bricks”, Jeff Nix really has done almost “nothing”, courtesy of Isiah trading away away his picks.

Come to think of it, why aren’t people chanting ‘Fire Jeff Nix!” at games. Presumably he’s the one that scouted these bums before Isiah brought ‘em over.

Don’t blame Isiah! Don’t blame Dolan! Don’t even blame Dick Helm!

Blame Jeff Nix!!!

I’m not real thrilled about the whole homophone thing myself.

“by the way, if we are going to call the Bricks the Bricks ”

Bricks only refers to offense (although I guess it could also refer to objects that don’t move on D), I’m personally a fan of Nix, specifically the definition that just means “nothing”.

Jamalfeasance – classic.

Nick: Ford was originally contemplating retirement, but he has since resumed practicing in Houston with John Lucas and is scheduled to rejoin the Raptors in the next few weeks, whenever he feels comfortable in doing so. At which point, Sam Mitchell has already stated he will be coming of the bench indefinitely. Either way, Calderon has the starting spot locked up for the time being (which is what I’ve been calling for since the beginning of the season).
