Snoop Dogg on Gasol

[FlawLeSs]

just last year we had to hear how gasol was the best bigman in the league..

i called bullshit.

[Kuzzy Powers]

LOL at calling Gasol soft then saying you want Howard instead.

To be fair Dwight is a monster on D. He may be soft in personality but hes not soft as butter on the court like Pau. Definitely needs to learn how to use his body on offense tho, noone should be able to handle Dwight on a post up.

[FirstTimer]

Basically hes saying Gasol is a giant pusshole.

What Rosetta Stone software did you use?

Dwight should and could be as dominant offensively as Shaq was in the late 90s-early 2000s

I don't see it at all. Howard is what he is at this point. Expecting him to all-of-the-sudden find this untapped offensive potential is a bit foolish.

Shaq's offense during that period is infinitely better than anything Howard is capable of. Shaq attempted nearly twice as many shots as Howard does (While having a similar FG%), was/is a waaaaaaaay better passer than Howard and actually had a low-post game.

Howard's offensive game has improved a lot over the year. He's not just some alley-oop, Tyson Chandler type player anymore...he's getting dangerous down low.

Gasol was definitely the one giving up wide open 3s all game.

[Tengo Juego]

Is Gasol really that bad, or is Dirk that good? I'm leaning towards the latter.

Gasol is a good player, Dirk's skillset for his size is amazing and Dallas played much better basketball.

It amazes me how much Laker fans loved Gasol when they were winning titles, but threw him under the bus for one admittedly bad series against a superior player (Nowitzki).
The coaching staff never made the correct adjustments getting Gasol off Nowitzki on D ... and I suspect Gasol's O suffered because he was being so humiliated on D.
Lakers' fans should cut Gasol some slack. He helped you win two titles. Not a lot of other players have that on their resumes, and Gasol is the first guy to say he's not a cut your throat type player, he's a complementary guy.

Orlando would be stupid to trade D. Howard for Gasol or anyone on the Lakers for that matter. That team is done.

And shame on Snoop's dumb azz for just thinking that trade would be that simple.

Orlando is gonna have to trade Howard though. Not sure how that trade will happen, but it's inevitable.
I agree Howard for Gasol and spare parts seems stupid, but at the end of the day, Gasol and spare parts might be better than the alternative (nothing).

Or also implying that Bynum isn't soft. Really?

I rather have cap space that trade him for Gasol. So no, nothing in this case is better than him. Take into account that nothing also nets you a trade exception.

I understand that, but the way I see it, even if Howard wanted to go to LA, and I'm the GM, I'm going to do whatever I can to make the team better, not to make Howard happy. Nothing on LA is anything I would want so if they wanted him, they would have to take some of those bad contracts too. I would also trade him to another team if that option was available, if they offered a better deal. I could care less if he wanted to go to LA

Who knows maybe the new CBA will have a franchise tag in it. It'll be interesting to see how that will work out
