That's Hands of Stones and Lame-R...

a rare win for the spurs this year. hope it will continue until playoffs.

Lakers fans don't have to worry about Kwame anymore now that he's been traded to Grizzlies for Gasol .... :shocked:

IMO, this trade is gonna put the Lakers over the top and make them a legit championship contender... :goddammit:

Spurs, Suns, Mavs -> :sweat:

Can't believe the Lakers found somebody STUPID enough to take Kwame!! :mrgreen: Never mind Gasol, if they'd gotten a box of cracker jacks, they still woud've come out ahead!! :applaud:

Wow!!! :woot:

And all they to do was give up Kwame and some rookies?

A steal at any price. :applaud: :dancing: :woot:

Now watch Kwame play like the All-Star he's supposed to be... At least against the Lakers. :crazy:

Lakers crush the Raptors, 121-101, in Toronto... Kobe drops 46 on them.

Pau Gasol is expected to play for the Lakes on Sunday in Washington... If he passes the physical.

Lakers, still on a Pau Gasol high (even though he didn't play), beat the Wizards, 103-91... :victory:

Next up: the Nets on Super Tuesday.

Pau Gasol debuts for the Lakers with 24 points and 12 rebounds in a 105-90 victory over the Nets.

Kobe scores only six (!) points, but D-Fish drops 28. :victory:

Next game: Atlanta, Feb. 6.

Yahoo! Sports Rumor Mill: Shaquille O'Neal reportedly may be traded to Phoenix Suns...

Yow, The Big Lardo back in the West... And in the Pacific Division, to boot.

Suns must be desperate.

Eh... I highly doubt that this trade is gonna happen. It doesn't make sense on any level for the Suns. Bringing in a player with a bigger contract, who's gonna clog up the middle, and could only run 1 fast-break before getting completely winded .... sounds like disaster. :shakehead:

GM Steve Kerr should just go back to TNT. :beaten:

I dunno... News reports seem to say it's a done deal, pending the physical.

Poor Shawn Marion... He gets screwed going to the lousy Heat. :shakehead:

Comment regarding Phoenix trying to trade for Shaq: "I have no clue what they are thinking," one Eastern Conference scout said. "Shaq retired two years ago."

:hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Quoting myself here ... but apparently I was wrong, considering now the trade is official. :doh:

So... um, yea.. Kerr should REALLY consider going back to his TV gig. :banghead:

I just cannot image the Big Fella on a fast-break ... bull-dozing his way to 6 offensive fouls. :shakehead:

Lakers forget to play defense in the fourth quarter and lose to the Hawks, 98-95.

Come on, guys....!!! :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

Lakers back on track, beating the Magic, 117-113.

Next up: The now Shaq-less Miami Heat in Miami on Sunday.

Lakers beat the Shaq-less Heat, 104-94.

Next up: The Bobcats in Charlotte.

Lakers beat the Bobcats, 106-97... :victory:

Last game of the road trip: T-Wolves on Wednesday. :)

Lakers crush the T-Wolves, 117-92, to end their long road trip at 7-2. :victory:

do i sense deep in the playoffs? they are a better team now, and wait until Andrew comes back from injury.

Mav's trade 5 of their players in a blockbuster trade that sends, Diop, Stackhouse, Devin Harris, and a few others to Nets for J. Kidd and some others. Looks like they are looking short-term for a championship, and to counter against the Lakers and Phx Suns with their trades. As much as i love the Phx Suns, i think the Lakers got a better deal. But Shawn Marion wanted out of Phx, but why Shaq, that is a big gamble. We'll see how he adapts to the fast paced style of the Suns.

The Kidd trade is on hold: Devean George is nixing the trade for the moment: http://tinyurl.com/2ft9bp
