Bobcats close to trading Diaw, Chandler, aquiring Calderon

[C47]

Ha! LB would absolutely destroy Gasol and his pansy ass. He has to be one of the most overrated and softest big men in the game.

LOL at Gasol being overrated.....keep drinking the hatorade....

Prob AJ. Quick question...do ya'll think the cats are really considering playing AA off the bench some this year considering he def has improved and looked decent at times in summer league? Its obvious that they're gunna rely on Gerald and Derek to come off the bench more this season after great summer league play.

Definitely not upset at all, it was a fantastic trade for the Bobcats..

IMO Calderon is an improvement over Felton and getting rid of TC's contract is huge.

Should be a nice boost offensively having Calderon and TT starting for the Cats.

Yeah, I agree Calderon is definitley an upgrade he is a better scorer and distributor. Larry Brown just has to teach him how to play defense and if he can do it with Jackson he can do it with Calderon.

I would prefer Luis Scola to Al Jefferson just for health reasons. Either one would be a huge improvement.

Also Slam Online and Rick Bonnell are reporting that the Cats are now 10MM under the luxury tax.

Luis Scola can't play the 5 though, or else I would fly down and get him myself right now.

I see that I upset the poor little Lakers' fan.

I will take Bynum over Gasol any day.

He is a forward/center. Yes he would be undersized for the Center position but it could work when paired with a guy like Theo that could play more minutes against teams with bigger centers.

Scola= Okafur with more offensive prowess but not as good on the defensive end.

Wow you can link articles and message board posts from 2-3 years ago.....congrats. The biggest knock on Pau was his playoff performance, he seems to have put that to rest. I'll take 20 points 12 boards and 2 blocks any night of the week.....

You can still put up stats and be overrated and soft. IMO Pau Gasol is both.

Scola and Thomas at the 4 and 5 would be very nice imo.

Well I guess you always have your opinion then....

I would take a healthy mature bynum over gasol..but not right now. The reason the lakers won the last two titles was becuase gasol was a difference maker and much more physical than the year they lost to boston.

Yep anyone who is saying the guy is soft or overrated probably hasn't watched the Lakers since that series....
