Pancakes Ye Know...

Weekend thoughts....

-Jason Collins for Stro? Who cares. One crappy player for another. The Grizz will offcially have 3 of the 5 worst players in the NBA if that deal goes through (Casey, Cardinal and Collins). Kwame Brown and Adonal Foyle are the 2 other worst players in the NBA.

-Pau Gasol trade to the Lakers that would include Kwame Brown. Is this possible? Yea, if you want expiring contracts for Pau then this is an easy one to do. Keep in mind Marc Gasol will be a Laker next season too. Then the Grizz would have 4 of the 5 worst players in the league.

-Suns lost at home to a Tony Parkerless Spurs team. Phoenix isn't going anywhere this year. Their run is over.

-Boston minus KG picked up a home win over the Mavs. Dallas' door to win it all is still open, but not for long. It could open back up if they get J-Kidd.

-Spurs are the 6th seed right now in the West. That will change. They will beat the Hornets in a series and be in the Finals. I'm looking at a Celtics-Spurs Final which, i'm sorry to say, will be just as boring as last years Finals. Nothing but 88-84 games.

-Kobe had the kind of triple double you don't want to have: 39pts, 10rebs, 11T0's. Sucks when you don't have Walton, Bynum, and Ariza out there. They will survive this and be a tough out in the playoffs.

-Tigers play UTEP on Saturday at Noon. Watch out! This is a Danger Game.

-Tyler Hansbrough had a solid game for Carolina last night vs. Boston College. I really want Memphis to play them in the Tournament just to see how long it takes before Psycho T and Dorsey get into it.

-Vanderbilt is the most overrated team in college basketball. They have beaten no one and lost to anyone that is relevant.

-Brittney Spears is still crazy



********UPDATE******
According to commercialappeal.com the Grizzlies have traded Pau Gasol to the LA Lakers for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittendon and first round picks in 2008 and 2010. Apparently the Grizz will also send a 2nd round pick to LA and the Grizz get G Aaron McKie and the draft rights to Marc Gasol. One Gasol for another.

Kwame has a 9 million dollar expiring contract. This will give the Grizz cap relief and you won't truly know who they traded Pau for until you find out who they use that money on. Elton Brand and Antawn Jamison are just a few of the guys on the market this summer.

The Grizz also just made the Lakers contenders for the next 5 years. Starting 5 will look like this when healthy:
PG Derek Fisher
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Lamar Odom
PF Pau Gasol
C Andrew Bynum

Walton, Ariza, Vujacic, Farmar, Vlad Rad all coming off the bench. That's a stacked starting 5. I know this too. Kobe won't tolerate Pau playing like a girl either.
