Pau Gasol is going to want to stay in a cave for a few months, because he's about to get hammered even more with questions speculating where he could be traded to and how he feels about it. Today's fun rumor comes from Bull.com's Sam Smith who writes that Gasol would like to be traded to the Bulls.
The interesting part, according to Lakers' insiders, is Gasol would like to play for the Bulls. And what you hardly need any sources for is to see how he and Bryant basically can't stand one another. It was no secret around L.A. what all those post series comments were about. "We got to be committed to each other," said Ron Artest. "This year we wasnt as committed collectively, and that hurt us a lot." Said Bynum: "We just werent doing it together.”
Honestly I feel bad for Gasol. Dude seems to always get ripped on. From Laker fans, to the media, to his own teammates (Kobe), and I really don't think he deserves it as much as he seems to get it. For his sake I hope he does get dealt, because I do think he has some good years in him. The Bulls would certainly be an interesting team, but it would be all about cost. Some say Boozer, and Gibson, which would be a terrible deal for the Lakers. The other deal would be Deng, and I don't see the Bulls doing that. I do think the Lakers are going to deal one of their big men, but their biggest problem is Kobe's contract which is going to be the biggest in the NBA next season.
