An Overlook at The Steal out of Memphis and the Big Shaqtus

Let me be the first one to say it: The NBA is becoming more fun to watch as great players move to different teams so it definitly adds new spice to the game. Also there are alot of young players that are becoming better making it more exciting to watch.

First starting off with the Pau Gasol trade: I really think that Kobe Bryant made a deal with the devil and pleaded to him to bring him another powerful force in L.A. They made out like bandits only giving up Kwame Brown and Jarvais Crittention plus a couple first rounders yet they really did give anyone up that would be damanging to the team. Now the Lakers are a legitamate threat to win the powerful West. The front line of Gasol-Bynum-Odom is the best in the NBA and that powerful size inside will be able to stop anyone in my opinion and why right now I think the Lakers will be back in the Finals. It is good for Memphis because as much as Gasol was a fan favorite; they are now able to retool with those draft picks and hopefully become a better team.

Then after that happen, Steve Kerr who was a force from the outside in the 90s yet his attempt to keep up with the Lakeshow was an airball. He decideds to trade away the frustrated Shawn Marion who is the glue of that team; he does all of the little things that people forget about and not shown in the stat book. And who does he get in return.... Shaq Diesel... Wow not a smart move at all. Shaq is averaging his worst numbers in his fifteen-year career and he is well-over 300 pounds, do you think it went through Kerr mind that Shaq is washed up? I do not know how it cannot and Shaq is a great performer infront of a mic so all the bullshit he fed about "Bringing a 5th ring", it will not happen yet how great would it be to see a Kobe-Shaq Western Conference Finals? I would be tuned in to every game possible if that was the case. For my main man, D-Wade eventhough they have the worst record in the NBA, they now get a force in Marion who can run with Mr. Wade and hopefully he will want to come back when they draft Eric Gordon, Derrick Rose, or Michael Beasley.

Hopefully this brings back fans to the NBA.
