"Pau Gasol is the Anti Kwame Brown" Trade Analysis

[24Lakersfan]

"He can run rebound THINK..." LOLOLOLOL

[MrCHITOWN247]

When youre replacing nothing,,,,then that makes you something ,,,,KWAMAY BROWN God bless him is a scrub lol

[khtechnotho]

[lilmoe102]

[snowflakegt]

I dont see how the other analyst can sit there and not laugh at stephen a smith

[jgerundo24]

i was having a bad day... then i saw this.. LMFAO, thank you stephen a smith!!!! HAHAHA

[opo1293]

wtf rick carlisle with hair?

[shh4]

I bet Bill Walton wouldn't be so honest about his son, Luke, who is probably worse than Kwame.

[tony23zz]

"The great Luke Walton" LOLOL

[trollolololer]

Rick Carlisle was on ESPN!?!?! WTF! WOW! Years later hes hoisting the NBA Championship with the Dallas Mavericks....WHO'D A THUNK IT!?

[Northx57]

LMAO he called him a scrub

[ethug6]

lol I can't believe Stephen A. Smith clowned him again in another segment hahaha

[JaguaRich1]

lol god bless him he is a scrub still funny to this day

[chair245]

Because I sorry

[chair245]

I'm cursed why? Because u have the same number as kwame brown when playing basketball

[hbk92701]

Kwame Brown, is a bonafide scrub hahaha. This was one of the best days for the world of sports and guys who come into a league and screw teams out of money.

[akallak]

since when is luke walton great

[thejohhny69]

well the lakers are sixth seeded with kwame brown when they got pau gasol the lakers are the top seeded for the next 3 years from 2008 to 2010, went to the nba finals 3 straight years and won back to back championship in 2009 and 2010 what more you could ask for this guy

[Hybr1dK1dz]

i got kwame browns jersey.

pau gasols a big bitch anyways

[miamigreyhound]

Serious I think with the gunners the Warriors have they needed someone to take up space and be physical, Kwame Brown fills that role perfectly and under Marc Jackson guidance will improve his game as well. Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis they all can light it up. The reason the warriors didn't rade for Paul is becasue they have Curry and Believe in Thompson. As for Monta the man is a nightmare on the breaki. Go Warrios

[miamigreyhound]

fuck these guys Kwame is going to fill the hole the warriors needed. The warriors will finish ahead of the sucking Lakers

[billy199733412]

@miamigreyhound I cannot tell if your comment is serious lol

[Atreyu96]

lmao at rick suckin on bill's nuts by praising puke walton

[tbradleyjr]

He only said Luke was his favorite player because his father was there.

[TheBallingSuperstar]

KWAMAY BROWN

[kalloused]

[CerebralPrince10]

xD

[MamaAintGotTime]

Holy shit Jim Carrey knows a lot about basketball

[PraetorShinzon]

@MamaAintGotTime LOL

[KobeDx81]

It would be most epic day if LA could now trade away Luke Walton.

[MaGiiK35]

this little trade change many people lives poor kwame brown

[tyklug2013]

Kwaaaaame Brawn

[LifeFirst]

Chicago Bulls: Hey man what's up?

Memphis: Yep, we're all ears.

Chi: We'll give you Ben Gordon, Tyrus Thomas, Andres Nocioni, Thabo Sefolosha for Pau.

Mem: Hmm, well, Gordon is an erratic player who chucks, Thomas seems inexperienced, Nocioni is tough, we like it. I don't know, maybe sweeten the offer a little and we'll talk.

Chi: Ok, Luol Deng?

Mem: Sounds interesting, we'll talk later.

LAL: Hey, what's up?

Mem: All ears

LAL: How about...Kwame Brown?

Mem: AWESOME! We'll take him!

[AintHome000]

@LifeFirst Your post proved that the Grizzlies took the better deal. You also don't understand that the Grizzlies acquired cap relief in that trade which eventually landed them to sign Zach Randolph. You also forgot to mention Marc Gasol in the deal, because last time I checked he is pretty damn good. Had the Grizzlies taken the Bulls' trade, their team would be Conley, Gordon, Deng, and Gay. That's a horrific team with no big men.

[23mgab]

@LifeFirst Jerry West did it again :)



[adamdyerseve]

Rick Carlisle looks like Jim Carrey 

[punongkahoy312]

2:36 LOL BIG NEWS washington winning 5 straight?

[MegaCelticsfan33]

@punongkahoy312 lol

[x808havok]

little did bill walton know that you could start all 3 big men and still win a championship or 2 ;P

[ZKCollabo]

Hey Bill, he's the anti-LUKE WALTON too!!!

[EDDIE90510]

Rick Carlise "The Great Luke Walton" haha

[ZKCollabo]

@EDDIE90510 lol....i thought it was gonna be a joke...he wasn't kidding. :(

[MSF3524]

damn replacing nothing lol

[MyKoolChannel]

Stephen A is hilarious!! He's the reason why I like sports center

[GERMANYRULZS]

shufflepulse.webs.com

[9tailNARUTOYAHH]

"...He's replacing Kwame Brown, and when your replacing nothing that makes you something- which is a plus" they cant have Quite Frankly because Stephen A. Smith the ONLY REASON we listen to ESPN radio in afternoon and evening

P.S. Stephan A. Smith could be the most articulate comedian so dont make him cut on yo ass LMFAO

[geocgeo]

2011 Dallas SWEEPS the Lakers maybe Kwame Brown or Brian Scalabrine is what the Lakers needed......

[ImeffinReal1]

"kwame brown god bless him, is a scrub" lmaoooo he is too funny

[MrCHITOWN247]

@ImeffinReal1 i was just going to type that in,,,,,,that was funny as hell

[ImeffinReal1]

@MrCHITOWN247 i kno i love stephen a smith lmaoo too funny and smart

[hanj31]

rick said he loved the trade for the lakers only to become a coach and have to deal with it.

[kingpage1]

lmao he went hard on kwame

[Gupitor]

believe it or not, if it wasnt for this trade. kobe would still only have 3 rings

[AndreaRiv100]

@Gupitor OH NO SHIT SHERLOCK

[Gupitor]

@AndreaRiv100 FUCK U DICKFACE. . EAT A COCK

[MeLikeSwagga]

The "great" Luke Walton



[tman916x]

@MeLikeSwagga Haha look at Carlisle trying not to laugh!

[revengeofbutthead]

2:13 Awkward Silence

[TheBrandooooon]

I'm a huge Lakers win. Luke Walton is not a bad player. He is a great passer of the ball. He's no Kobe Bryant, but he is no Kwame Brown.

[MOISTTOWLETS]

@TheBrandooooon this past season and currently kwame>>>luke walton by far

[LB3THEKID]

lettin kwame have it dammn.

[Spiqaro]

Oh my god, when he says, "...and Kobe? Please!!!..." at 1:23, it made me laugh!

[bergurking2]

Kwame 4 president!!!

[iunstoppable1]

bill walton and stephen a almost as good as stephen a and skip bayless...almost

[parkthecar23]

da decade??!! o myyy gooooodnees

[Eisesglut]

funny to see Rick Carlisle on ESPN ... they're talking about Phil Jackson and his greatness (he is great but they idolized him lil too much) and 3 years later Carlisle swept him ... congrats DALLAS MAVS 2011 NBA Champ!

[quakertown]

@Eisesglut

11 rings , 1 ring.

[jpowers55]

Kobe should kiss the ground Pau walks on.

[UltumiateNBAFan]

@etk1995: you have just been shunned by Stephen Smith

[etk1995]

I like Kwame Brown i think he is underrated

[inchaoswetrust]

@etk1995 You're a fucking idiot...that's why

[etk1995]

@inchaoswetrust I really do think he is underrated. Just because he was the number 1 pick, it doesn't mean that he is automatically going to be a lebron james or dwight howard.

[inchaoswetrust]

@etk1995 underrated???

Just the fact that scrub plays in the NBA makes him overrated.

[BrentWoodSean38]

These guys just trashed Kwame

[asntiger]

Kwame Brown

God Bless Him

Is a Scrub!

LMFAO ROFL

[justinshinn97]

i miss stephen smith

[brpowerful]

The law permits Stephen A. smith to approach no closer than 300 meters to Kwame Brown after the rape.

[valin771]

Rick Carlisle is probably looking back on this trade like meh still spanked them in the playoffs

[The49erfan1]

@valin771

oh yeah that's exactly what he's thinking especially when there might be a work stoppage. ha

[valin771]

Still one of the worst trades in NBA history

[mrdunkalicious]

@valin771 for the grizzles lol but they did get the rights to marc gasol so it wasn't that bad of a deal lol

[AEMoreira81]

@valin771 Only because the Memphis Grizzlies got stuck with KWAH-MAY BROWN!

[buckeyes02211]

kwame brown, god bless him, HES A SCRUB thumbs up if you laughed

[TerribleJames]

Bill Walton: "This is an unbelievable steal for Mitch Kubchak he is right in the mix for executive of the Year."

Stephen A. Smith: "I wouldn't...AND THATS RIDICULOUS, WHHAAT??!!!!! THE DECADE?! THE DECADE?! OH MY GOODNESS!!

[3zazer1]

Boy, do I miss Bill Walton and Stephen A on Shootaround. Steven A came back, but for the radio only. What ever happened to Bill? Last I saw him, he had a stroke or something and left ESPN. He came back in the 2010 Nba finals then left again

[conwayandwhitmanman]

lol the 3 most different guys we have here

Carlisle the stoic soft spoken guy, Bill Walton the upbeat guy, and Stephen A the fiery guy

[cesh16]

it's Rick Carlisle! Congratulations for winning a Championship!

[ninobrown1689]

@cesh16 if i coached against erik spolfestra with less talent then the heat i woulda won to miamis coach was in over his head,blame lebron,but come on where was the plays to run,it sso simplemto just give the ball to bron or wade he didnt coach at all

[LawOchoa]

Why isn't ESPN this exciting and passionate anymore?

[ThePurshun]

@LawOchoa These were the good days of ESPN.

[mitchyisgay]

Stephen A's reaction after Walton says "executive of the decade" is priceless. After first he thinks he's just going to say "of the year" and he was still a bit unsure about that and when then Walton just went completely over the top he wanted to slap him lol.

[MrCHITOWN247]

Kwa-may Brown God bless him,,,,is a scrub! lol

[UltramanMebius2006]

They said it here that Lakers were in 6 seat and Gasol took them to the final and lost. But still a 6 seat made the final?that's crazy,so Lakers fan you all will regret about wanting Gasol to leave the team just because u lost to Dallas but it seems everybody has forgotten what Gasol meant for them.

[mrdunkalicious]

@UltramanMebius2006 im a laker fan but idk why every1 want him to leave it's crazy they should get rid of ron artest a.k.a Metta World Peace and the entire bench besides Odom and brown

[UltramanMebius2006]

@mrdunkalicious ppl that wanting Gasol to leave r the ppl that dont know basketball.sometime players plays bad because of the match up But Lakers fans has gotten of where was Lakers when the team has Kobe and Lamar, they were getting killed by the Suns with Nash and Amare LOL and they'd were in a low seat.I hope I made my point LOL

[mrdunkalicious]

@UltramanMebius2006 lol true gasol helped the lakers a lot but he obviously wasnt the only reson they've been successful

[UltramanMebius2006]

@mrdunkalicious Yes u r right, but him,Kobe, and Bynum r the main keys.Artest defenses aint there no more he is there as a spot up shooter and for Odom.. he does good when he has a size advantage.As for Fisher he is sucks BUT he is clutch.

[puunjabirockstar]

LMAOOO ia had water in my eyes from laughing from 0.50 to 1:30

[tehboss09]

bill shouldnt be talking.has he watched his son? lol

[luisbo3]

I wonder if Rick wouldve wanted the great Luke Walton in his team right now. Another thing, is it me or is BIll Walton chewing gum everytime he talks?

[MrOsmabinladen]

I'd Hate to be Kwame Brown

[e3erockstar08]

@MrOsmabinladen No, Id hate to be Byron Scott. Kwame Brown is a rich bench player. The best job in America.

[trolling1011]

"kwame brown god bless him is a scrub" hahaha

[LALkobebryantLAL]

Stephen A Smith made teh perfect definition of a hater.

[rsohlich1]

Gotta love/hate Bill. I choose to love the guy. Very intelligent, just a little neurotic/eccentric.

[TheMackdaddy007]

Kwame Brown=Luke Walton

[TheMackdaddy007]

Aye thats Rick Carlisle. He's been studying L.A. since Gasol got there in 08

[fhab525]

the got Pau Gasol for "nothing" because the Grizziles GM is a Lakers legend , he may be working for Memphis but his heart is wit LA .. same wit Boston getting KG , the T-wolves GM at the time was Kevin Mchale , Celtic legend

[mrwhatever213]

@fhab525 what do you mean nothing? they got Marc gasol who is better then Pau right now.

[livinggreatness]

3 straight western conference titles, 2 straight NBA titles thats what Pau did for the Lakers, even if Memphis wins the next couple games against okc they can never be looked at as a winner in this trade.

[FenqShuAlex]

Plow Gasshole(otherwise known as Pau Gasol) is one UGLY MOTHER EFFER!!!!!!!

[chitsweire]

"The DECADE? The decade? OH MY GOODNESS!"

[forREALSjoHN]

Rick still had hair?! 0_o haha.

[DonRMB]

"The GREAT luke walton"!?!?! WHAT!? Just cuz he's dad is there you dont have to Lie haha

[staliequi]

Kwame Brown is the best.. I mean, LOOK AT HIM!! Look at how he plays with the ball!!!

.

.

.

I hope you can smell the sarcasm...

[LakersFan188]

the great luke walton?!!!!

[wallaceX2jc]

Wow, now it makes the Memphis GM a pretty smart one. Spurs are probably wishing,"Where is Pau Gasol? We woulda been sweeping the Grizzlies right now."

[ricard1394]

Bill walton says the true but... i think he's son has the same level of kwame brown XD

[dwfan6995]

"Is this a trick question? They gave up Kwame Brown. The city of Los Angeles should be celebrating, throw a parade." I remember that from the other video and can't stop laughing.

[nelvern07]

this was a corrupt trade lead by jerry west, the lakers gave up literally nothing, and added gasol who is an allstar making the lakers the tallest team in the nba, memphis could of gotten a better trade somewhere else, marc gasol is good but he is not an allstar, plus when memphis made the trade they had to wait a year for marc, nobody knew how good he would be, it be interesting if the lakers play memphis in the playoffs

[alnes32]

@nelvern07 yea but in the nba, it is all about being a contender.. and pau gasol ( the great player he is) could lead them to a playoff win much less the second round.. so they traded him to clear cap space and rebuild, which they did a good job of that is you are watching them tear the top seed in the nba up (with out their best scoring threat is Rudy Gay i might add)

[mrwhatever213]

@nelvern07 he is better then his brother Pau now. so take that post back.

[DjRat3]

Carlisle looks a lot like Bruce Campbell

[davd1986]

Jim Carrey??

[ian718]

3 years later ......... great trade

[onn1320]

@ian718

Maybe 3 years later for the Grizzlies, but for the Lakers it was a good trade when it happened.

[h1imcam3r0n]

THE GREAT LUKE WALTON HAHAHA...someone chuckled in the background

[Nhzharuthopar]

@h1imcam3r0n Yea. It was Bill!

[h1imcam3r0n]

@Nhzharuthopar lmao yup and the guy who said that was the dallas mavericks coach lol

[vkiller320]

@h1imcam3r0n is the dallas mavs' coach

[LALkobebryantLAL]

@h1imcam3r0n opps ..i think tht was me cos' i had a goooooood laugh ;D

[thlin]

@h1imcam3r0n LOL, His dad chuckled. Sigh his own son =/

[magic45ist]

@h1imcam3r0n that was bill walton

[TurboKock]

EPIC AND HISTORIC DAY FOR LA. Really was.

[xYouthAttackx]

"when your replacing NOTHING, it makes you SOMETHING" LOL bring back stephen A! i used to think stephen a was annoying but i was wrong.."

[Saitou1983]

I cant stop laughin...pau gasol in the anti-kwame brown....omg HAHAHHAA

[Metalstryke]

3 NBA finals appearances later, lol they went from 6th to 1st spot in the west that year

[lawmancpa]

@Metalstryke If they are healthy...can they be stopped? That was the steal/trade of the decade. Now, I understand why Greg Popovich objected to that trade so much. NBA teams still are upset about that trade. Funny thing though...Kevin Garnett went to the Celtics and there was little complaining, if any. Since Kevin McHale sent Garnett to his old team (Celtics), Jerry West (behind the scenes) had to level the playing field for the Lakers. Hopefully, they will win the chapmpionship this year

[onn1320]

@lawmancpa

When it happened no one knew Marc Gasol had game - it was a steal. But Marc who was part of the deal turned out to be pretty good.

No one said anything about the KG trade because Boston gave up a sht load of players. A young Al Jefferson was one of those players. He was putting up like 14 and 10 and could block shots with the potential to get better which he did when he avg. 20/10 in his first year with Minn.

[2pacisthebest90]

kwame for pau damn!!!

[chess1993]

2 championships later steal of the decade haha

[pothwei76]

Damn! what does that say about MJ?

[pothwei76]

Damn!

[koofoolz]

lol stephen A feels some sort of way about kwame brown

[TheGamer32121]

LOLOLOLOLOL "doesnt matter cuz he replacing kwame brown"

[iba0809]

You gotta feel bad for Marc Gasol...being called "nothing" while being traded for his brother...

[japong24]

@iba0809 they're not talking bout marc gasol here.. theyre bashing kwame brown here LOL!!

[leaderofsithclan]

worst trade of all time Memphis got a steal right here and the lakers got robbed

[matacuas249]

@leaderofsithclan u serious?? lakers went to three straight finals apperance and back to back championships ever since pau gasol got traded. Lakers came up BIG

[8USMNT17]

@matacuas249

You're retarded.

[matacuas249]

@8USMNT17 haha stop hating on the lakers bro

[8USMNT17]

@matacuas249

Your stupidity hurts my head.

[MasterShadow28]

lol at Stephen A Smith. Its funny how he talks trash about Kwame Brown.

[tanoka1980]

@MasterShadow28 i dont find funny talking trash about anyone,specially when who speaks ,has never played profesional basketball

[MasterShadow28]

@tanoka1980 ... calm down. I didn't insult Kwame Brown. Im just saying that its funny on how he talked when he was talking about Pau Gasol going to LA. his facial expression and his voice. if I offended anyone in anyway then im sorry

[tanoka1980]

@MasterShadow28 Dont worry and no offense by the way,its just that i dont like that guy,specially after seeing a vid of him talking about jordan, i know he thinks he´s cool but for me is just a clown

[erepnp]

BILL WALTON IS FUCKING HILARIOUS

[Jreythe2nd]

Man. we were 6th place in the western conference, with a poor team. and we mad eit all the way to 1st!!!. Yessir!! if we would have had him since the beginning of the season we would have homecourt and we would be going for the rare 4 peat!

[alexert41]

Bill Walton is the Michael Scott of sports commentating

[MaxAime]

this trade still seems EXTREMLY FISHY FOR ME

[MrLovingspain]

@MaxAime then u should never watch nba again...i just don't understand how u can say such things

[MaxAime]

@MrLovingspain your gonna tell me this trade is even?

[lilmikyb]

championship championships championships :p

[jusam23]

Stephen A. really hates KWAMAY BROWN!

[n0o01]

"They got a big man who can run, rebound, think, catch."

Think.

That's a big one.

[ExposureExpo]

Stephen A and Skip Bayless should have their own show LOL!!!!!!!!!

[americanGTA]

@ExposureExpo steven A just started his own radio show on 1050 espn radio

[SportsTroll]

THE FAG IS OVERRATED

[Teddy2M]

@SportsTroll Oh Brother, please. Still better than Kwame. Look at the two now. Gasol is averaging more than 18points, and what about Kwame? Is he even averaging five points a game? I am doubtful. And at the time, Gasol was even better and Kwame was even worse. 

[SportsTroll]

@Teddy2M Gasol is still a sorry ass Big Bird Scummy piece of shit.

[Teddy2M]

@SportsTroll Whatever you think, man. But I persoanlly think the adjectives that you use would be more appropriate to Kwame or Luke than to Gasol.

[linkin49park182]

@SportsTroll Dude Gasol has 2 rings though?

[TrendSettazz]

They gave up Kwa-May Brown!

[majiicpu3D]

bill walton is a douchebag

[Lkr721993]

kwame brown, god bless him, is a scrub!
