One year ago, the Memphis Grizzlies sent Pau Gasol to the Lakers for questionable returns and under questionable circumstances. It transformed L.A. from hopefuls to contenders, with seemingly no basketball benefit for the Grizz.
Then, last night, the Lakers agreed to send Chris Mihm* to the Grizzlies in a Camby-esque salary dump. Chris Mihm for a future conditional second round pick? Hello Lakers? It’s common sense calling. You just made a HUGE mistake…or did they? It all seems a bit suspicious. Could it be that the real prize of the Gasol trade was not Marc Gasol’s rights or the mythical creature known as cap space, but actually a highly conditional side trade which would ultimately steal away the Mihmster? The Mihmdog? Mihmastopholes?
I’m on to you, Chris Wallace.
*Chris Mihm is terrible at basketball.

Okay, “Mihmastopholes” made me laugh.
