To sit here and act like a guy giving them 19/10/3.5 on 56% shooting, was the primary defender on Dwight in the 2009 finals and was the lakers best player in the 2010 finals wasn't key to their success :scust:. Pau was in the conversation for best power forward in basketball at the time.
Pau was a no show in Boston.

I don't care what Marc Jackson was saying during that time. Pau wasn't better than a healthy KG, Duncan, Dirk and I would throw Chris Bosh's name in there too

Lakers had the number 1 seed in the West before the Gasol trade.
context: Kobe was beasting and Bynum was flourishing...then Bynum got hurt for the season as he's wont to do, they had to replace him with Kwame fukkin Brown :comeon:turning them back into a .500 team...they trade for Pau.. go 22-5 with him in the lineup and to the finals..if they dont finesse Pau out of Memphis, they were looking at another first round:camby: and they only getting that far cause they had the gawd in his prime. He needed help and that was Pau..its undeniable. They simply dont go to 3 finals without Pau. Thats not a knock to Kobe. He can only do so much with bums and a beast center with a bum knee.

Why couldn't Bynum's size and talents go to someone with good knees instead :beli:?
