    Gasol of Marc sucks. He was a beast on Memphis wish we kept him over Pau. Probably win in 2008 and three peat

  2. paraMAYBE_DO_LESS

    Huge supporter of Marc when he was here. I got a shit ton of downvotes that season for defending him when people made him a scapegoat.

    Passing was amazing, shooting was good, and his defense was so underrated that season.

  3. It worked great until AD got hurt, and Marc got Covid.

  4. ThisAnswerIsLit

    Could have if we didn’t push him out for Drummond

    The most underrated team we had in the LeBron-AD days.

    Schroeder-KCP-Lebron-AD-Gasol. Best defense in the league and a 21-6 run before injuries.

    Anyone who says Gasol was a liability need to go back and re-watch those games. He fit AD’s style perfectly. The 2 of them covered each other’s weaknesses.

    We just needed a slightly better PG so that Schroeder could’ve come off the bench.

    Man if we had Marc 2-3 years younger we would three peat. I don’t actually remember seeing AD and Marc play together but this is the ideal situation for AD. AD at the 4 and a real C.

  7. the-Aleexous

    Yes, great team. Lakers need a big 5 to match up and body Jokic, the AD can play 4.

    If he would have slimmed down like Pau in his later years he wouldn’t have got burnt. Then again this was the year when every team went small.

    Didn’t he say at one point that he didn’t want to sign with the Lakers because they did Pau dirty? And then he ended up signing here and then they did him dirty.

  10. i was so hyped when we got Marc. He was the ideal center for AD to play alongside. He got a bad rap cause his three point shot wasn’t falling but i remember our defense was still top notch.

    Still upset we treated him like shit like his older brother. Gave up his starting spot for Drummond. Didn’t even give him significant playing time in the playoffs(played garbage time). It was like we were forcing him to retire so his final year didn’t go towards the cap which he did.

    Bad things happened when Harrell subbed in for him.

  12. Js_On_My_Yeet

    That was another legit championship team before AD’s injury.

  13. double-endbag

    Probably win the title if ad doesn’t get injured but that’s all speculation. What ifs and could have beens are always there and maybe if ad doesn’t go down he goes down a week later. Was a weird season 20/21. Feels like it was an eternity ago.

  14. Honestly loved Marc’s fit here

    We just got real unlucky with the injuries that year
