Lakers get Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown, Crittenton

Just when Lakers fans started to get a little bit worried about the wild road without Bynum, a trade no one expected may change the .

The Lakers have just acquired Pau Gasol from Memphis, sending Kwame Brown, rookie Javaris Crittenton and a future first round pick to the Grizzlies. With the absence of Bynum, the Lakers have lost five of eight, including a disapointing loss last night in Detroit, to open a nine game road trip.

Pau Gasol is averaging almost 19pts & 9rbds an will be able to play center until Bynum's return to the court. Even if he was injured at times this year, Pau Gasol is an all star caliber player who will definitely make L.A rest of the season more brighter than it appeared these days - and of course, push the team into championship contention.
