Kobe got pau gasol for Marc gasol and cap space, a move that ended up making the Grizzlies much better and boys are STILL mad 10 years later.....and pau wasn't even a superstar
Can you imagine the outrage if Kobe got a superstar for 2 solid role players?

All Star
act like Pau aint a glorified kevin love bruhs
We traded the 6th man of the year and a top 3 center at the time and everybody lost their fukking minds. Pitiful 
Marc Gasol was traded on February 1st, 2008.
He was the 48th overall pick (18th in the 2nd round) and hadn't played a fukkin minute in the NBA.
And you jagaloons keep insisting it was a perfectly even trade because of what Marc became 5 years later.

Memphis lost 60 games in back to back years with pau
Ima break it down slow so you comprehend
Memphis made a deal to help them in 2-3 years.Lakers made a move to help immediately.
Memphis was a 40 win team again 1 year after the trade
It doesn't matter what your dumb ass "thought" Marc would become, it matters what he actually became
They also cleared cap space to get zach randolph
And again, cp3 is a superstar and pau was not
No it matters when he was and how he was projected at the time because you're evaluating the trade AT THE TIME.
Not 5 years later.
Marc Gasol was so highly regarded by the Lakers that he was taken 8 spots after they chose Sun Yue.
Pau gasol was 0-12 in the playoffs before Kobe saved his career but y'all want to play revisionist history and pretend he was some sort of star. You know how fukking bad you have to be to not even win a playoff game by accident in 12 tries?
I DONT THINK ANYONE IS MAD ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.
BRON GOING TO MIAMI CHANGED THE WAY EVERYONE LOOKS AT THINGS FROM THE PAST
AND GOING FORWARD.
Breh boys are still mad
Gasol wasn't on wade level tho. Memphis pau was seen like Toronto bosh (at best)
Aren't you from Houston, OP? I thought you'd be happy about the CP3 trade?

Fukk are you talking about with this 5 year bull shyt?
It was clear that Memphis made the right move in 2 years
