here is how i answered him:
When I found about Pau Gasol being traded to LA, I was
in total shock, but in a good way. We basically gave
up a big man who could play alright defense and a
promising point guard who wasn't even in the rotation
for an allstar who would fit in incredibly well in the
triangle offense.
My expectations for Pau's first game is that he will
get a huge standing ovation for at least a minute or
two. I think that Pau will do very well in his debut
and get us the win. My prediction is that he will get
the bulk of the shots because of Kobe's injury.
What surprises me is that Pau fits in with the team and
the triangle offense amazingly well even in his first
game with the team.
Pau brings leadership and basketball smarts to the
Lakers. I don't think this year because of all the
injuries, but I think Pau will ultimately bring the
Lakers a championship in the near future.
On another note, Since I live in AZ, I get to see the
Suns fans' reaction towards the trade and every one of
them thought it was a great trade. Some wouldn't say
it up front, but I could tell on their faces they
liked it.
I'm going to the Lakers vs. Suns game next Wednesday
and am extremely excited about it. I Can't wait to
beat some Suns but!
Thank you for your questions and time. Lets go
Lakers!!!!! |

Hello, I am more then willing to help answer your questions...
1- your impressions about Pauâs transfer to the Lakers?
When I first found out that Pau Gasol was coming to the Lakers I was ecstatic. I couldn't believe that we were getting an All-Star player on our team.
2- your expectations about his first game in LA next Tuesday
Well this is going to be a revenge game for the Lakers, we played the Atlanta Hawks February 6th 2008 and we lost to them when we shouldn't of have. That is why I personally believe this is going to be a HUGE game... were out for revenge as well as it is the first game after the All-star break. It is also the first home game in 15 days (we recently had a 15 day road trip). I expect Pau to come out an destroy the hawks in that game, we were over-zealous and were too complacent because we were thinking that game would be a breeze... Pau and Kobe will come and show the Laker fans that a new Championship Dynasty has started again under Kobe and Pau... it will be like the old days Of Shaq and Kobe or the Showtime days... It will be a great game to the start of Pau's new great career with a team he deserves to be on.
3- what has most surprised you in the first days
His ability to come in and play with the Lakers instantly, The triangle offense is a complex system of basketball and he came in and played flawlessly, he scored 24points and 12rebounds in his first game with the Lakers against New Jersy... If he is putting in figures like that on his first game its going to be great to see what he puts in later in the year or next year or the year after that, when he gets better entwined with the Triangle offense I imagine his number's will go up significantly.
4- what will Pau bring to the Lakers?
He will bring the Power Forward of my dreams, the Lakers have always struggled with that position, he compliments the Lakers perfectly... he will also bring his Double-Double point/rebounding stats every game, as well as a legitimate 2nd choice scorer... he will also open up better shots for his team mates as he is so good he will be double teamed, not to mention he is so tall that he will make the easy shots when Kobe is double teamed... all in all he brings to the lakers what they have needed since the departure of Shaq, A big man that will compliment Kobe and has the Basket Ball IQ/Length/Height/Passing ability that makes the Lakers a surefire championship contender.
My name is Kal Rubaye and I am a 22 year old Medical Student. I would like to thank you for taking the time to interview me, Pau Gasol is a dream come true for everyone in Laker-land... hopefully next year we might be able to Pick up Juan Carlos Navaro for the Lakers as well... you never know!
thank you
-Kal |
