Pau Gasol: how quickly they forget :wow:

[thegreatest]

My man Pau brought 2 championships to L.A., the last one a mere 2 years ago. But after 1 rocky start to a season, when he plays with busted knees, L.A. already shytting on him?

fukk the Lakers, their coach and their fanbase if they turn their backs on Pau. With the new players, the change in coaches and a missing Nash, what the fukk was supposed to happen? Stop acting like hoes and let the man play, 1 month is nothing.

If Pau gets traded, I'm done with LAL, not even gonna bother to watch them lose in the playoffs.

Spoiler

OKC looking like right now

im not the guys biggest fan, but yea they are treating him like a crumb for no reason. hes obviously aged into the last phase of his career, but damn show some respect this guy was money in his last Finals

needs to show them rings to Pringles and let em know

On the one hand, pau has been terrible these last few years. But with that said he's done more for this tremendous GOAT franchise than that shytbag pringles so he really has no right to disrespect. I'd rather have him come off the bench over trading him for shytty useless parts just cuz.

When did this sympathy for falling off players come from? Everyone knows what he was capable of, dude was crucial to anything the Lakers accomplished from mid 2008 to beginning of 2011.

The main problem is that he's making close to $20m a year for subpar production. It's sad to watch.

It might be time to merge all these threads. Pau Gasol ASKED to sit down until he feels better. Kobe and Dwight defended him and you have people making these threads crying about how LA wronged Pau. Cot damn. This is the best and worst sports forum at the same time.

damn what happened to the "files larry holmes papers when a player is in a slump" nature of this site...

It's a what have you done lately for me business tho

He was paid to deliver during those years, he didn't do anything they didn't expect him to do for the money they paid him. Now he's still getting the same money but not doing shyt.

While Pau is my man, I understand the business model.

 

[CantStop]

Lol @ keeping players because of what they've done 3 years ago. What kind of autistic thinking is that?

 

[IGSaint12]

Pau is declining what the fukk is so hard to understand about that? A 7 footer gets blocked multiple times a game, where the hell is all this sympathy coming from?

Oh is it coming from the kobe hate? I'm guessing people are gassing gasol up to mythical standards because of their hate for kobe, gotdamn there is to be a time where people let that shyt go.

How about you walk on a thin line above Niagara Falls without a harness you feggit.

Pau shoulda been treated better, dude is the 3rd most important Laker of the last 20 years. HOWEVER, this inconsistent play has been going on since the middle of the 2010-2011 season and he's had two sorry ass playoff performances in a row.

Mitch saw the writing on the wall when he traded him. Mitch was a genius for that one

Dude is still a 17 and 8 guy though, not worth the money your paying him but he's still the 3rd best player on the team with the most diverse skillset.

You're talking about Kobe. These jealous ass nikkas will never get over their emotions concerning that man.

As far as Pau goes, I've vouched for him for the longest. He was vital to the Lakers deep runs, but his production just isn't getting it done. If he doesn't fit into the offense, then they'll have to move him. If he's hurt and simply can't perform, then they'll still try to move him. Pau has struggled for years now. A change of scenery might be what's best for him, but I would prefer he right the ship & retire in the purple & gold.
