On it

[TheDoctor]

The Chicago Bulls are aggressively shopping All-Star forward Pau Gasol, league sources told The Vertical.
Gasol, 35, can opt out of his contract this summer and become an unrestricted free agent, and Bulls general manager Gar Forman seems determined to move him before Thursday's trade deadline with the hope of bringing back value.
Gasol is expected to decline the player option on the $7.4 million owed him in 2016-17.
Gasol is averaging 17 points and 10.9 rebounds for the struggling Bulls.

LOOOL

Watch the Warriors trade Bogut and parts for him.

2016 lineup: Curry/Klay/Green/Durant/Pau

They need to pull a Gasol-to-the-Lakers move and get him.

He can be the 2nd C and maybe Spurs don't have to play Diaw/West lineups anymore.

I'd gladly take Gasol as a Duncan replacement once he retires, but what would they do in the meantime with Timmy/LMA/Gasol/Diaw/West? All 5 of those guys are deserving of big minutes. I sincerely doubt they pull Diaw out of the rotation, and I don't think West gave up 10 million to be a benchwarmer.

Agree.

Still would like a 2nd reliable center to use as necessary..
Oh well..

I don't get why the Bulls are so relentlessly mediocre, but don't care to think about it too much.

I have hated the D.Rose bulls for years. They are extremely boring to watch and are over hyped every year as the team that will take out Lebron.

I made a thread about them 2 years ago, re: being perennially overrated..

The media always looks at the names on their roster, rather than production..Thibs was the scapegoat, the media and fans found a reason to bury him(the minutes issue, etc), but it's now evident to everybody that the roster has always been the issue..

It is now worse than ever..only a few impact players(Butler, Gasol, Gibson, Noah) and only 1 2-way player on the entire team(Butler)..

It's because Gar and Pax suck at running a franchise and become to attached to the players. So now they are trading Pau to avoid paying the luxury tax, lol, what a joke this team has become. I hope Pau winds up a Spur, that's the least they could do for him.

Gasol is still a great player. Lakers Gasol suffered a lot from schemes at the end. Bulls Gasol has been a beast, especially this season. And the Spurs could totally put him in places where he could play to his strengths defensively like they do with Tim. On a two-year deal, he'd be pretty great, and his contract would line up with Parker's and Diaw's contracts as well as Green's and LMA's options.

[Chillen]

Diaw for Pau works in ESPN trade checker, salarys match. Bulls could buy out or waive Diaw.
