Could Pau Gasol win a Championship?
If you replaced his sidekick Kobe with another guard that was shooting 30% in the 4th quarters in 09' & 29% in the 4th quarter in 10' could Gasol still carry his Lakers to a victory?

Re: Could Pau Gasol win a Championship?
I'd bet that even an inferior SG like Michael Jordan could help Pau Gasol wil the championship.

Re: Could Pau Gasol win a Championship?
OP im sorry to burst your bubble but Odom was Pau's sidekick. Kobe was more of an "x factor" piece a la jamal crawford etc.
So the thread makes little sense.

Re: Could Pau Gasol win a Championship?
Is this thread a joke? Pau could carry Mario Chalmers to titles based on how futile Kobe was in 4th quarters.

Re: Could Pau Gasol win a Championship?
They're not even getting there in the 1st place without Kobe dominating the Jazz and Suns. There's only 1, maybe 2 other players at that time that could come close to matching that kinda production. Stop it.

Dirk top 15 all time

Dirk, Wade, DUrant, Lebron, Harden would have had a real shot to win it all with that lakers roster minus kobe. (obviously everyone in his prime)
Dirk putting up better numbers agains nuggets in the WCSF than kobe, but his second best player was 38%-Terry and 38% Howard. Playing wiht d. george and antoine wright. Or next year against the spurs as well
In the time between 2006-2012 a guy like Pau gasol would be exactly what dirk needed for a deep run. 18-20ppg, 12-14reb, 50-60% from the field with decend Defense.
Kenneth hate against Gasol is funny. What would Kobe reach with Gasol roster? What is Kobes Playoff record without Gasol or SHaq? YOu have def. small balls and you are scared if you cant assume that gasol contributed in a huge way to the lakers success

Pau killed it in the Playoffs, too:
2009: 18/11/3 58% FG with 2 blocks per game
2010: 20/11/4 54% FG with 2.1 blocks per game
20/11/4 with 2.1 bpg on 54% Dream come true haha

don't be an idiot
Dirk in 11 had Terry averagin 18ppg, Chandler playing at a DPOY level.. and if you just straight up replace Dirk with Kobe your starting guards are Fisher/Brown and the only guard off the bench is Farmar
Harden.. lmao what's he done in the playoffs exactly.. dude is in his prime playing with another all nba player and still can't make the finals..
Dirk and Pau together down low would be an absolute joke defensively..
there's really no difference between Lakers Pau and Bulls Pau, and we all saw how weak he looked in the playoffs..
Lebron would be reduced to Scotty Pippen in the triangle, his lack of iso/mid range game combined with playing alongside guys who clog the paint would be his downfall
KD in 2010 wasn't good enough,
Wade maybe, but I still don't see that, he had bran and bosh and still couldn't win as the man the very next year
