Right now Gasol is much better. Gasol is soft but Aldridge is even softer. Down the line Aldridge could become the better player however Gasol is pretty damn good. Gasol has long arms, big hands and can catch anything. If the Lakers can de-Grizzlify him, Gasol should be able to be a top ten big in the game for a long time.
For the Blazers, Aldridge is the better piece because he'll gladly stay out of the paint and fits very nicely next to Oden. Starting a new team? Gasol.
