Pau got traded in 08 not 07.
You're right he was traded the following year.…you’re talking about the season where Pau missed damn near the first whole 2 months of the season after breaking his foot during the summer
My bad big dog... I didn't realize that that's the season you're trying to use as your validation while the previous 3 healthy seasons he was leading them to the playoffs for the first times in that franchises history LMAO this is that deranged stan shyt that I be talking about smh
You sayin 15 PPG like you only count one side the floor.
No nikka YOU are only counting one side of the floor and picking and choosing when and who gets that benefit because I guarantee you MM wasn't locking shyt up ever along with some of those other wings...
In the NBA you need to score buckets to win playoff games.…obviously this is new to you but thats core nba basketball.… even elite defensive teams had like those Detroit squads in that era had pure bucket getters like Rip and Chauncey and Sheed to supplement the elite defense.… nikka you up here hyping Bonzi Wells, Mike Miller and Shane Battier when they COMBINED as a trio for 24PPG in that first playoff run against the spurs.… COMBINED nikka… basketball is both sides of the floor not one side…. this isn't baseball.… and if you're going to credit the wings for every aspect of the defense which is nonsense to begin with... Pau needs the full credit for being the offensive hub on all of those teams
In that second run against the Suns.… that vaunted perimeter lineup of Wells, Miller, Shane COMBINED 26PPG

like this shyt is a joke and you're gassing this
Next season when 35 year old grandpa Eddie Jones comes aboard that you were gassing... he gives them a whopping 10PPG in the playoffs... MM 8PPG Shane 6PPG
Like stop it nikka... You sat right there looked at those numbers and got the audacity to keep pushing this nonsense …. Those dudes were solid role players but trying to gas it like Pau was on some sort of squad because Bonzi fukking Wells and MM is absurd
They was 5th best defense in 05 and 2nd best defense in 06 and ain't shyt have to do wit Pau cause when they lost all that perimeter talent what was they defense wit Pau in 07? Dead last at 30. 22 wins. And that wasn't the season he was traded to LA nikka.
Yes the year Pau missed like the first 30 games then was in a minutes restriction their numbers fell off a cliff...suprise suprise
Who else are you referring to when you say they lost “all that perimeter talent” besides Shane? From 06 being ranked 2nd in defense to 07 the main differences were Pau being gone and Shane being moved.… are you saying that Shane was the entire defense?
Memphis made playoffs from 04-06 and guess what their record was without Pau?
The Memphis Grizzlies had a 20-12 record without Pau Gasol between the 2003-04 and 2005-06 seasons.

20-12. They was playin at a 51 win pace when Pau was out but keep talkin that 15 PPG like it only way to impact winnin
This nikka cobbled together a W-L record over multiple seasons with multiple different rosters over multiple different stretches of the season where we don't know who may have been tanking or hurt or any numerous variables to derive at some nonsense “win pace” nikka who is “they” each one of those rosters you just arbitrarily mashed together were different.…

like they ain't have some of the best perimeter depth and defense in the league. If Pau was leadin and carryin these "bums" like you makin it they wouldn't have been playin at a 51 win pace with his ass out.
“They” wasn't playing at no 51 win pace because “they” isn't a thing its a made up imaginary team that you created over multiple different years lmao
Then got the nerve to talk about only one side of the ball since you have 0 retort for the FACT that none of that so called “best perimeter depth” ever produced a nikka that scored over 15 fukking points a game until then last year lmao.…shyt is hilarious
FOH wit that fake ass narrative nikka
nikkas in here talking about fake narratives while trying to gas up Bonzi Wells and 35 year old Eddie Jones nikka beat it with this bull ass shyt
