Stephen A. Smith usually talks bullshit, but when he makes sense, he makes it worth listening to. Dude was straight 100% right. They went to 3 consecutive nba finals, won 2 championships. If they had met just 2 or 3 years earlier, like back in 2005-06 when Kobe was at his pirme -prime, they would've gone like 4 or 5 straight. Sure they gave up Marc Gasol, one of the best centers today, but Gasol rose to prime at around 2011 ~ 2012. Kobe was 34 back then, no way they could've made it what Kobe and Pau did.

+tom thrusterman The lakers could get better down the road letting those younger guys play and you guys could get a franchise player in brandon ingram or ben simmons depending on where you land in the draft, but you should definitely be top 2, then you have russel, and julius randle, jordan clarkson, nick young and larry nance jr, and is a bunch of good pieces, plus luke as your head coach. That is a promising future. And you might get westbrook and durant down the line.

As a Die Hard Lakers fan, I remember being in a barbershop on a Friday after school and Lakers was about to play a game. They said first that the Lakers acquired Pau Gasol and I was like "oh wow, that's a big deal! Who we give up?" And then they showed the actual trade on TV and I seen we gave up Kwame... the whole barbershop was excited! I knew we was going to the Finals that year!!!

This trade still blows my mind to this very day. The Lakers won that year’s trade deadline QUIETLY. Stephen A and this other dude are talking about it on this video, but back then the most talked about trade was the Trade between the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns.

this is the first time i've completely agreed with Steven. i actually found some respect for him today.

3 WCF CHAMPIONSHIPS. 2 nba championships in last 3 year. Best trade in history I love you Gasol!

Now if only we could get rid of Carlose Boozer and get Marc Gasol

“Is that a trick question?” 😂

WOW the 2nd trade of the Decade. The first being KG to Boston. Hopefully we can get Bosh this off season to team up with LBJ and make us title contenders for the next 5 to 7 years

Damn Stephen A in his prime was a BAAAAAAAD MAN to have to debate against

"no disrespect whatsoever" 🤣

BREAKING NEWS: Los Angeles Lakers 117, Orlando Magic 113 Kobe Bryant 36 pts, 10 rebounds, 6 assists Pau Gasol 30 pts, 9 rebounds. 3 other players in double figures... WHO CAN BEAT THE LAKERS WITH STATS LIKE THIS?

Most people think that this was a bad trade for Memphis and turned a good one because Marc Gasol became a great player unexpectedly but everyone who had seen him play knew he would be a great player. At the moment of the trade, he was dominating spanish league like nobody had done since Sabonis.

That's easy to say in 2023. But in 2008 when the trade happened, it was considered a fleece.

Thanks for your two cents. Instead of the Lakers being contenders 100% of the seasons, they're contenders 95% of the seasons. Your basketball knowledge amazing. I have learned a lot from your obvious intelligence. You have set me straight and now I know that the NBA is not a complete sham. We're done now.

This made Stephen A Smith right here

Lakers great decision by that time. Kobe, Odom and Gasol. Triple Alliance of Successful

Watching 10 years after..

Stephen A is bustin some rhymes right there.

When you have a frontcourt like Bynum, Odom, and Gasol(if he learns the triangle well), and you add Kobe, and Fisher to the mix, and don't forget the Laker Bench which has a lot of depth btw, this team has the potential to challenge Boston or Detroit for the NBA Championship.

Lmfao!!! This is a all time classic.

I love Stephen dude speaks his mind

How time flies... now a classic video of SAS 😂😀🤣

Peak Stephen A!! 💯 right on his take.

And some nba analyst, he is a skilled player, and they up winning a 2peat

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! The fisrt half of this video is absolutely hilarious!!!

Gasol and Bryant are perfect compliments.

"Is that a trick question?" LOL!

This is great.

"They gave up KWAME BROWN" lol dying

Such a great deal for both teams. Of course, it didn't seem like it at the time.

Thank god for gasol 3 finals appearance and 2 rings baby

Yea you right. Thats exactly what I was thinking about this trade. We did to Memphis what Miami did to us.

He was always right. Went to 3 str8 FINALS

This is golden

Amen Stephen. Amen.

you're right now that i think about it.. coz shit, they still got Radmanovic.. still got Farmar, Walton AND Turiaf.. the Lakers are just in a great position right now... honestly.. it's feelin good to be a Lakers fan these days.. REAL good.. it was good already with Bynum.. and now it's like.. damn..

memphis thought that in the future it would be more profitable to get 10 million in cap relief, as well as 2 first rounders. However, probably another key for the grizzlies was the addition of Marc Gasol, they would not have accepted it without him: M.Gasol played high school ball in Memphis and they not only knew about his potential, they were also convinced he could be lured to the NBA if they had his rights. He is still a rookie so it's early to make an accurate judgement about the trade.

Steven a smith is all time great on tv

I was thrilled to find out Kwame was gone! Seriously, they won't miss much without him. And besides, Pau is fundamentally a much better player than Kwame. I felt sorry for him because the LA fans were coming down pretty tough on him, but DAMN I'm happy we got Gasol on that trade.

"They gave up Kwamay Brown!" lol

"He has small hands, he can't catch the ball"

I love this video

Kwame was just an expiring contract thrown into that deal. What the Grizzlies actually gained from this deal were two potential up-and-comers in Javaris Crittenton and Pau's younger brother Marc (arguably the best center in Europe right now) as well as two first round picks for this year and 2010. Come to think about it, this may have been the best trade either team could have done... ;-)

LOL i laughed so hard when I watched this!

How do you really feel Stephen A? Way to go man!

i wish all of BSPN analyst were like Stephen A smith !
