We will miss you
Classy guy, but I think he'll just be a rental

[AirTupac]

Pau if this is true I appreciate all your hard work and time as a Laker, you were a great compliment to Kobe and a big reason why he didn't waste his entire prime on shitty teams.

Good luck on your future endeavors

edit: I wonder what we got for him?

Classy guy, although he did help the Lakers take away a title from my Celtics :(
Did a great work in LA, can't deny that.

[alec613]

[GASOL IS GOAT]

I've been saying Lakers needed to trade Pau but now that it's happened I feel like crying. So long Pau I love you :cry:

[Project018]

F*ck Pau. This is about Bynum. Can't believe he will have a legit chance to go to a contender like Miami or Clippers :crazysam:

[blacknapalm]

thank you, pau. i know this makes sense financially but damn. full tank mode?

[El Kabong]

Kinda funny since there were more than a few Lakers fans who were getting pissy with other posters when it was suggested this would happen earlier in the week.

[Fawker]

Unbelievable Mitch. Bynum is a check collecting bum. Pau sorry you were moved like a pawn.

[AirTupac]

Ramona Shelburne ‏@ramonashelburne4s

Lakers vehemently deny Pau trade is done. Vehemently deny. Aren't budging from stance that they want asset for Gasol

OOPS

[alec613]

The **** what?!

ESPN:facepalm

[Eric Cartman]

Bynum signing with Miami/OKC/Indy is gonna tilt the balance of the championship.

[Myth]

The **** what?!

ESPN:facepalm

Well yes, it won't be done until later into Sunday. The question right now is: Is a trade agreed upon?

[Myth]

Bynum signing with Miami/OKC/Indy is gonna tilt the balance of the championship.

I don't see Indy taking him. They are too chemistry based of a team and adding an egg head can bring the whole team down. Miami and OKC are more pure talent based and has more of a chance of surviving off of talent alone even if Bynum is more distraction than help.

[AirTupac]

Well yes, it won't be done until later into Sunday. The question right now is: Is a trade agreed upon?.


Pau Gasol's camp, I'm told, has been informed that the report of his trade to Cleveland being agreed on in principle is false. .

this is broussard's work, isn't it?

Pau is going to Memphis. Zbo going to Cavs. Bynum to lakers to be waived.

[DaSeba5]

Bynum signing with Miami/OKC/Indy is gonna tilt the balance of the championship.

Miami doesn't much interest in him. He's too much of a head case.

[NuggetsFan]

L.A going full tank. Probably pretty smart in the long run. Be interesting to see what "Laker" fans stick around when they hit the bottom of the barrel, also how long it takes them to become relevant again. Wonder what this means for Kobe going forward too.

Dunno if this is a great move for Cleveland going forward, makes them better now which is good for the Eastern Conference. Maybe they think they can make some noise with Irving/Gasol and by noise I mean a playoff app/2nd round?

[HylianNightmare]

Way underappreciated by some laker fans, hope he does well in his twilight

I guess this fits here:


" It is difficult to escape. 've Been with my family, who has come to Los Angeles for Christmas, go to the movies whenever I can , I read a lot and have also spent much time at home to recover from sinusitis. Still me two weeks left to take antibiotic. No medicine, however , that makes the rumors about my future come by one of my ears and out the other , but the reality is that I can not do much more than trying to help the team and wait.

The NBA is a huge business . Here is not measured only basketball. There are many factors that count. But it's stupid to complain. I already transferred once and can be repeated. If you think about it , you could say . "Why do they always traspasarme me? " . To answer this, we should think that if it were indisputable not always be on the list . These rumors always go when I have not been wholly owned by different reasons or when the computer is in a rut , like now. In the last two or three seasons it was so.

There is not until ...
The reality in the day, however much the content websites and newspaper pages are filled , for many comments you have , and although probably explode the social networking theme is that while you do not get anything, the matter does not exist.

Negotiations and contacts . It is known that the franchise is looking for some activity with some solutions to poor progress of the team. There are significant changes. Last season they could hear him offer. Now proposed. The player is not aware of anything except what you read or hear , and some things , with all due respect , do not have much merit.

A reassuring call franchise may be convenient, but also do not know whether it would hear something like this: "Hey Pau , it is true , we traspasarte " . While all unfolds , you should wait or not happen , that one day you call on the phone and congratulate you for services and then tell you where they send you .

It's something shocking and dehumanized . But this tournament works well since birth. In Memphis, in 2008 , occurred in this way and we all congratulate you because it left the Grizzlies and the Lakers reached . The film is always equal .

There is another way of looking at the issue . True, they have wanted to pass me these past few seasons, but I'm still here after a million rumors, the Lakers will also appreciate me . Also I have in mind . From another perspective can be appreciated that there are many teams that want me , they trust me as a reference and the Lakers are not satisfied with anything.

' No Surrender '
Not ideal play in this situation, but I'm not one to turn around when there is wind. I can not let it affect me all that is going on and as a team we can not give up despite the plague of casualties.

We are in a tough spot. We need wins for the season do not jump in the air, but our situation is difficult and it would be for any team. Missing three or four weeks to reappear any of the three bases that have injured : Nash, Farmar or Blake. Marshall has just arrived and will have to play a lot. The eaves are also dropping like flies . Foul Kobe. This does not mean that all we played great, but does not help to recover.

I feel like and desire to keep fighting. The situation is not the best, but I will not give up or stop working. And what has to happen, it happens. This is just a game.

Clippers are already clearing space for Bynum. They will grab him once he's waived by the lakers.
