Glancing at Lakers blogs ...LA fans treat Gasol like dirt. You'd think he can't play , if ANYBODY out there remotely has an once more ounce of quality than a player they have , they begin the chant to trade that person. Smith is an upgrade ,but NOT HUGE IMO for the Lakers. They are just grasping at straws, change coach /players anything they need to win while KObe is still "KOBE" . Lakers fans have lost it / they aren't even rational ...includes Magic IRVING Johnson...he is so wrapped up in thei s KOBE , must win thing ..the whole crowd is off their rockers.
Gasol is a wonderful player, he would be a nice additon to the Celtics IMO. I'd trade abunch of Celtics for Gasol.
Josh Smith is a great fit for the Celtics. But the Lakers continue to FORCE their will on aquirring any and all the players they desire.
I'm learning to hate on Magic Johnson easier every year. He wants Smith on the Lakers , so the Celtics won't have a chance.
Frankly , the lakers have the best players NOW , so what is their crying about , it never ends with them, they have all the alstars and its never enough.
