I was amazed when they got Gasol without giving up much in return

salary dumps happen all the time

pre-La, gasol was not seen as an elite player by most people (including analysts). he was mocked about being an all-star once in memphis (getting his shot blocked by a guard didn't help). he was seen as a stat-compiler on a bad/average team who was soft as shite.

Still would get beat by the Celtics. Gasol and Odom countering KG, Shaq, Perkins, and Davis. Just dont see it.

You said that the Rockets would have won a title if they traded Yao for Gasol

I think your memory is lousy

Most people thought he was a great player... I couldn't believe the Lakers stole him from Memphis for a bag of runny dog shite
