The nice thing now is that with Gasol they won't feel compelled to rush Bynum back to secure enough wins to make the playoffs. They certainly lose some low post defense with Gasol in there, but their offensive options are greatly improved and should get Kobe some easier shots. Its certainly a "now" trade as they let go of the rights to Gasol's brother and two future 1st round picks. It seems like they overpaid slightly, but sometimes you have to do that to win now. Heck, just getting someone to take Kwame off your hands has to be a major feat.
