Lakers 106 Spurs 85

[Original Rookie]

LA gets back to back wins over New Orleans and San Antonio. LA can clinch the West with a win over the Kings on Tuesday. The Spurs fall to 5th in the West.

Spurs were without Manu but still a good win for LA. Who would have though they would have the best record in the West this year? If they win the West Kobe is a lock for the MVP and it's about time.

I'm sure no one thought it until they got Gasol. That was possibly the move of the year.

I think they would have been in the same position of Bynum never went down.

I should have bought Lakers. :lol:

Since LA has a real shot at the Finals this year, I'm going to enjoy being a part of this board when the playoffs start.

 

Can't wait to see how HT reacts good or bad as things develop. :lol:

 

As long as the Spurs or Pistons don't make the Finals, I will be happy. Although watching the Celtics get upset in the East would be nice too.

I hope the Spurs win again, and make everyone miserable again.

Sorry, you already used up all your luck with that "act" you pulled in January, you don't get anymore for at least another 18 years.

It was probably the screw job of the year. No way that trade should have ever happened.

It made sense money wise for Memphis.

Right. Jerry West didn't decide to help out LA at all...

 

The fact of the matter is, no matter how the money worked, it was a terribly lopsided trade. Usually in trades where players are thrown in to make the salaries match, there are a couple of major players who are comparable in their abilities. This was not the case in this trade at all. That is where it was so bad. Had the Lakers included just about anybody in the top 7 or so the trade would have had some validity. They traded two guys who were barely playing for an All-Star.

[HammerTime]

They got what they wanted out of it. Expiring contracts. I'm sure having West on the other end didn't hurt. They have a ton of money to spend this off season. Hello Arenas and Marion.

Doesn't the league have to approve all trades?
