Laker fanboy logic:
1. “Yes”! We got Howard and Nash! 2013 Champions baby!
2. So what? We just lost the pre-season, it doesn’t even count
3. Woot! Woot! We just won a game against the rivals Warriors, we got nowhere to go but up!
4. 15-17… Who cares? Playoffs is where it counts.
5. Didn’t make the playoffs, there’s always next year!

Griffin will elbow him in the face or use his hand to grab Gasol’s head as he goes up as usual….

major piece?? The guy is 32 and showing signs of slowing down. He’s not a building block. Just as Rubio reaches his prime, Gasol would be retiring. That would be an ignorant trade. Winning cures.everything, Twolves start making noise in the playoffs, he will stick around.

You laker fans are.just going to have to get used to mediocre basketball.

The Lakers own LA and will continue to do so until the wimpy Clippers win a couple of titles. The Clippers have been the laughingstock of LA, though now they’re looking good with several ex-Lakers on their bench. No wonder the Laker’s bench sucks because they traded away so many great bench players like Odom and Barnes. The Clippers are lucky to have a much better coach than the Lakers.

Go Lakers!!! Go Kobe!!!

Warriors fan here. As much as i hate the Lakers, i must say that they need to get read of Meeks. That dude was straight garbage against the Clips. If they wanted to get a pure shooter that can stroke like crazy, they might want to take a look at trading for Anthony Morrow. I always thought that he would be a good fit there. People might not know who this cat is, but if he was setup the way Meeks was, he would have knocked down every one of those shots. Dubs fans know who he is.

Oh yeah…. The boyz from the bay are on their way. We got next. Thanks for grinding them LakeShow.

More of a fan of Rubio to Gasol. I like the style of team the Twolves are building.

Everyone knows Love is not going stay stay in Minnesota when the contract is up, so why not get a major piece in the team you want to build in Minnesota now? Love is not going to lead the Wolves to a title.

Tom, put down the pipe. The lakers aren’t getting a young player in Love for a 32 year old Gasol. The lakers don’t have any other parts that Minnesota can use.

You laker fans and your NBA2k trades…laughable

Lakers just need to ship Gasol to TWolves. The Lakers just aren’t using his skill set properly in this offense. Gasol is a great player and he looks like a scrub as of late. Gasol needs a a team that wants him. All of the trade rumors and benchings have got to be crushing him mentally.

Why Wolves? KLove is not fitting into the unique team of Euro ball that the Twolves are playing. Rubio to Gasol would be good for the league. Love wants to be back in LA and his game would fit right in with this current Lakers team.

Forget championships.

The Clippers franchise have been perennial losers.

Even if the Lakers had not won any championships they at least give fans a chance to believe.

Since 84-85 season(when the Clippers became LA Clippers) the Lakers have missed the playoffs just twice, the Clippers on the other hand made have missed out 22 times. Most of those times they weren’t even close. Just when you think they are turning a corner, they’d go right back to losing 70 to 80% of their games for next few seasons.

Honestly which team would get more talk, the constant loser or the one the at least you can think might be able to make a run?

Lakers do suck, but when the clippers get half the championships that the lakers do than we can talk about clippers are better than the lakers
