Gasol is sitting not because a trade involving the former four-time All-Star is in the works, according to multiple league sources. However, a source told ESPNLosAngeles.com that Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has recently spoken to Gasol's representatives and the gist of the conversation was that if Gasol is unable to adjust to D'Antoni's system, the team will have no choice but to search for possible trade scenarios.Gasol tanking it to get away from Kobe

Does anybody run the Triangle?
What will the next act in this circus be?
It's a tough transition to make. While Brown and D'Antoni's systems share "Come on! Come on!", Gasol has never played under a coach who stressed "Let's go! Let's go!" the way that his new coach does.
D'antoni
Such a change of tuneWhatever it takes -- one game, two games, 10 games -- I don't know. It's day to day but he's got to be healthy. It wasn't fair (to him). He's trying to battle through some stuff and in this league, you just can't do that.
What if the other 29 teams said "not this time Mitch...you're on your own"....instead of always helping them out, but inevitably someone will. This is why I believe there are under handed deals like ill give you that beach house, or that business property, or will place a large order from your other business, or something of that nature. Why else would other GMs line up to help the Lakers out?
Bad news. Cue the Gasol for Harden, Asik and that Emo Coward. Then cue Emo Coward turning into a combination of Charles Barkley and Felix Baumgartner.
feel sorry for Gasol. He is gifted to the Lakers and they immediately go to 3 championships. Without that move Kobe will go down unarguably as the most overrated player of the past decade, instead the Gasol trade reinflated the myth yet Pau receives very little credit. Plus didn't Kobe snitch (per par) him out to his fiance? Gasol needs to get out while he can.
Pau needs to get to a team who will appreciate him and get him the ball....
Odom for Pau, done deal, do it Mitch, Lamborghini mercy, per par, tbh, imho, etc....
Stern already kept Gasol out of Houston once. With everything else going on I don't think the Rockets would dare cross him again.
Who could they ppossibly trade him to, NY? for Amare?
Man I'm beginning to feel sorry for gasoft. Just demand a trade yourself.
How many humiliations is he willing to put himself through just to be someplace where he isn't even wanted?
Kobe and the Lakers used this guy, got a few champs out of him and now are trying to get rid of him. What a sad existence over there.
At the time, no one would know Stern was doing Houston a big favor.
how much more help does kobe need to ring?.....
Lakers grasping at straws again, get rid of that wasted Kobe he's the cancer
Blair grasps offense. Trade straight up.
They don't need another big ing idiot ego. They need a coach and Derrick Fisher.
Lakers should try benching Kobe next game, and then Dwight the next one. The real problem should reveal its roots.
Probably would need LeBron's help to ring this year.
Who said that?
a players meeting only
What will the next act in this circus be?
Except LeBron would actually need the ball in his hands
