From Paul Garcia:
“@ramonashelburne: Regarding Pau: top two now Chi/Spurs..if Bulls can't do sign and trade with Lakers, likely he goes to Spurs”
EDIT: Late as usual...
For us new to basketball, what is sign and trade? And why would Pau do it? Or does he have to agree to it?

Exactly, the Lakers are up to 56mil with Lin, Hill and Swags contracts. no they want that 17 mil contract from the Bulls. I'll pull a chris here, 85% Pau comes to the Spurs at this point.
Nah. Now, if he were to pick OKC...
Here's something to ponder while we wait.
Are these players in the top 3 ever to come from their respective countries to play in the NBA? It's amazing, even if we don't land Gasol.
In my opinion, 4 are no brainer number ones.
France - Tony Parker, Boris Diaw
Argentina - Manu Ginobili
US Virgin Islands - Tim Duncan
Spain - Pau Gasol
Brazil - Tiago Splitter
Italy - Marco Belinelli
Austrailia - Patty Mills
Bulls can still amnesty boozer but their owner seems to be cheap
Dammit lakers may be desperate enough to take what Chicago can offer
Just saw all they have left is $5mm/year - so, I doubt they can absorb Boozer.
Yeah they don't seem willing to do that .now it comes down to can they strike a deal with la
Don't see how S&T is possible now, Lakers have no cap room and must have renounced his rights to do the Lin/Swaggy/Hill moves.
I'm nearly 100% certain that today's other transactions mean that the Lakers can no longer do an S&T with Gasol. Gasol will sign as a free agent with another NBA team.
Still think he's using the Spurs as leverage.
He can get more money through a sign and trade than if he just went to the Bulls.

LA is just re-signed with Nick Young (4 years 22 million) and Jordan Hill (2 years 18 million) They also get Jeremy Lin with their cap space.
So when you sum up these, they have no place to absorb any player of Bulls.
And they don't need to sign&trade with Gasol and get back another 7-8 million contract.
Ill take ur ur workd for it.i had a funny feeling something big was happening for the spurs but I don't want to get my hopes up
Edit: Nevermind. Amick corrected himself.
Sam Amick @sam_amick now Correction confirmed. This scenario was in play before today's moves. RT @EricPincus: cap doesn't work for Boozer now - Lakers spent
You are right.
Oh okay, thanks man.
