I think Kupchak should win executive of the year personally because he kept 5 players he drafted in the past few years, the one guy that didn't work out(Cook) was traded for Ariza. Why the Gasol trade is huge isn't just because they got an allstar PF, but because they got rid of Kwame. I don't think people outside of LA can see why it's important unless their team is stuck with playing him for 20 minutes a game. What's more, remember the Shaq trade from 3 years ago? Looking back now, what Kupchak traded for is Odom, Gasol(Butler who got sent for Kwame then for Gasol), and a pick that became Bynum. I know Gasol's arrival is kind of late, but after 3 years Lakers can contend for at least 4 to 5 years without mortgaging their future or their bench. And either Gasol or Odom's contract can be moved if things don't work out.
