Lakers acquire Gasol


Recommended Posts

Lakers are 2007-2008 champs. I'm already getting my clothes ready for the parade.

:D

I'm rooting for the Lakers too, but be careful with the hubris. Gasol does not by any means guarantee anything.

The key is if Bynum can come back at 100%.

Not a bad trade for Memphis. They clear cap space by getting Brown's expiring contract, they get 2 prospects, and 2 first rounders. What will dull the impact for them is the likelihood of both first rounders being pretty low.

I feel sorry for Kwame. Pretty much everybody is hating on him right now hah. Jordan's chosen one must feel the pressure.

But yeah, I'm really excited for this trade. Lakers gonna have two effective 7- footers on the court at the same time! I'm interested to see how they would match up now against the Celtics (although we won't get a chance to see that until the Playoffs). Can Gasol pass? It'd be interesting to see what type of back door cut plays Kobe can come up with between him and Gasol.

Whoa guys, slow down, did you forget you still have to play Boston... I would say that the Lakers are my 3rd favorite team (Chicago Bulls my 2nd, and the home-town Boston Celtics my 1st) but I don't even think they'll get past Utah in the playoffs... I know you're saying "UTAH!!" but believe me, they're one of those "sleeper" teams like Golden State last year.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
