Will Pau Bring a Ring?

The Los Angeles Lakers (29-16) have acquired forward Pau Gasol in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak. The Lakers will also receive the Grizzlies second round draft choice in 2010. In exchange Memphis will receive forward Kwame Brown, guard Javaris Crittenton, guard Aaron McKie , the draft rights to Marc Gasol and first round picks in 2008 and 2010. This blockbuster deal was made because of the absence of Andrew Bynum due to a knee injury. This very well may be the move to put the Lakers over the top. Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, and Derek Fisher is a deadly lineup. The Lakers already have one of the best benches in the league, this move just solidified the Lakers as championship contenders. Oh yeah, and by the way, Kobe went off for 46 Friday night.
