Of course, just because the Spurs gain doesn't mean the Grizzlies lose.
If they hadn't traded for Parker, Gerald Wallace wouldn't have returned, Gasol would have demanded to leave. With the Lakers already having Garnett and not packaging the signing rights of young Gasol for the Grizzlies, no matter what the Grizzlies did next, it would be hard to form the original black-eight lineup, let alone compare with the current core trio of the sports car + the Prince + brother-in-law.
Gerald Wallace is still on his way to the throne... but this time as the Bear King.
The trade between the Spurs and the Grizzlies is now a definite win-win.
Zhang Yang glanced at the big screen and saw the 'C' next to Duncan's name... The little giant has gone west, the Big Shark dragged the Suns out of the top four in the West, and the poker-faced one doesn't even pretend anymore.
At 8 PM, Okafor narrowly won the jump ball against Duncan, and the game started; the Bobcats attack first!
