The Memphis Girizzlies traded Pau Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday for two first-round draft picks and the draft rights to his brother, Marc. The Lakers’ acquisition of Gasol, a 7-foot center, figures to change the look of the team and instantly makes them, at least on paper, one of the early favorites to win the crown of the Western Conference, along with the Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs. For more details and analysis of this basketball trade I share with you a video from ESPN’s Pardon The Interruption.
