You could swap out rookie Rose for Prime B-Roy and Steve Nash.
In 2009/2010 you woulda had a hard time convincing me Pau was better than Joe Johnson or Chauncey Billups as well.
He definitely wasn't top 15 in that time span
Was Pau Gasol even a top 15 player in 2009 and 2010?

KG after his injury wasnt better than Gasol neither was Duncan post 2009
I'll give you KG after his injury, but Duncan was still better. I don't think anybody on the planet was taking Pau over Duncan in 2010, not even Lakers fans. Spurs fans woulda burned down buildings if the Lakers pulled off a Duncan/Pau trade

I know Pau Gasol was supposed to win Finals MVP in 2010
They shyt on Brandon Ingram when he was with the Lakers not realizing he was putting up the same numbers as Pau with less minutes and usage rate. But Pau was “one of the top” players in the league.
Pau was MAYBE top 15 if you account for Derrick Rose being rookie in one of those years. But Paul Gasol sure as hell wasn't top 10 though.
Lebron stans act like Pau Gasol was as good as prime Shaq when he wasn't. He was all-star level power forward, that's it.

During the play-offs in their 2 championship runs ('09-10):
Pau Gasol: 8.5 Win Shares, .222 WS/48
Kobe Bryant: 8.3 Win Shares, .214 WS/48
Every accusation is a confession for this demographicAnd Kobe stans claim Klutch are the ones rewriting history.

Kobe led the lakers in scoring in the series, scored 21 straight pts in a finals game, averaged 2 stls a game, had a game with 3 blks (as a G), defended Rondo & Ray, shot 88% from the line, grabbed 15 boards in G7...and y'all want me to believe Pau was supposed to win FMVP
The story heading into G7 was that Kobe would win FMVP whether the lakers won or lost and it would be the first time it hapened since Jerry West
Pau was a good co-star...but before he got to the lakers, he was not considered a top 15 player...he was considered top 20-30...ppl only started to cry about the trade after they realized his fit with Kob would be a great one

If the Lakers lose, they might still come away with some hardware.

Game 6 elimination game: 6-14 FG, 17 pts
Game 7: 6-16 FG, 7-13 FT, 5-9 FT in the 4th qtr
Plays like ass in game 6 and follow that up by missing half your FT's in the biggest game ever but he was FMVP
