They have wanted him for years. They tried getting him last season, and were looking at acquiring front court help at the deadline and are expected to try and address the need in the off season.
They also tried to trade the #2 pick (which turned out to be Derrick Williams) to the Lakers for Gasol to pair him with Rubio. They have the cap space to take on his contract with out having to send someone back in return.
