Pau Gasol headed to L.A.!
Friday, February 1st, 2008
Boom! You heard it! From NBA.com: “The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired forward Pau Gasol in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak. The Lakers will also receive the Grizzlies second round draft choice in 2010. In exchange Memphis will receive forward Kwame Brown, guard Javaris Crittenton, guard Aaron McKie (who the Lakers signed earlier today), the draft rights to Marc Gasol and first round picks in 2008 and 2010.”
Personally, I think this is great news for the Lakers. I don’t have any doubts about Pau Gasol being an immediate contributor to the Lakers’ current squad. I guess this also means that Kobe is gonna be sticking around for a while even though I’d want to see Kobe tread some waters elsewhere, just for kicks.
Now, if only the Cavs would add Jason Kidd to their back court, we’d be good to go!
