The M & M’s strengthen the bench and will lead to another championship.

Sugar Ray is playing awesome, Rondo is now near-AllStar, etc.

Book it now.

Pau Gasol was able to make it to the All Star Game with the Grizzlies shirt, was drafted after Kwame Brown in the same year, is a FIBA World Champ and Olympics Silver medal and MVP, rookie of the year and played quite good in last year’s playoffs and finals, with just a few months to learn the system and join the team’s chemistry. What has Kwame done in his career aside from proving the fact that MJ cannot do other thing in basketball other than playing? You still don’t consider that a gamble? Last year’s final would have been Celtics-Spurs without Gasol, it ensured last and this year’s success by just giving up on Marc Gasol’s rights and kwame….GAAAAAAAAAAAMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

“let me start off by saying last years trade for Pau Gasol was a gamble for the Lakers. First of all what has Gasol done in getting his team 1 playoff victory?”

This statement is absurd. No matter how little success Gasol had in Memphis he was obtained without giving up a single rotation player. How is that a gamble? Gasol could have been terrible and the it still would not have been a gamble because the worst case scenario is that the Lakers rotation wouldn’t have changed at all.

Also Eddie when is someone going to point out the fact it’s very un professional to have all these leaks about trades. And why don’t fans hold these owners accountable. How do you expect Vince and his family to truly feel good about Jersey now? Forget what he says…This is not a country that tells the truth people say what they feel others want to hear.

Shawn Marion is another, and I know Eddie you have talked quite a bit about Shawn over the past couple of years. The rumors are crazy and taxing I can only imagine and for what???

How does Steve Kerr keep his job?? Hung Terry Porter out to dry..Well thats for another topic..Sorry. Eddie I listen to you all the time when i watch SUN games and I know they pay you to be optomistic but i can’t help but think why was Shaq and Amare not traded. Sarver Killed this team long ago by giving away Joe Johnson, RAJON Rondo, Nate Robinson, Rudy Fernandez, Stephen Hunter……Wasn’t Steve Kerr consulting then??? On the sly. Oh boy Kerr and Paxon are real Gems.

please Eddie or anyone enlighten me

Losing Stoudemire for the rest of the season due to eye surgery is going to be tough for Phoenix, but they can rest easy if Shaq continues his resurrection. This situation would allow him to prove that he’s still got some magic left in the tank. He’s got the post to himself now, so we can expect to see glimpses of the Shaq of old on a regular basis.

Hate to be the one to break it to you, but you heard about young Mr. Stoudemire by now, I take it? The Fates . . .

Peace,

I definitely wanted to see Shaq next to LeBron. DWade and Kobe obviously had their chance with Shaq AND WON RINGS, so I wanted to see if LeBron could do the same.

I disagree with the assumption that Alston will be a positive impact for the Magic. He’s a decent player. The TNT guys thought Alston would be as good or maybe better for the Magic shooters. One of the best things the Magic had going for them was the chemistry. And, their bench is still thin. They’ll go through tough times when Nelson is out. Alston will only provide some temporary relief.

Eddie - You should be excited that the Suns are a new-look team now. Those Clipper games are a sign of things to come. That team has been bottled up for over a half season. They’re gonna explode!
