Unfortunately, the source is Vecsey. It would be nice if there was a more credible source.
But it's certainly believable.
Lakers were the only team made aware of Gasol's availability

New York Post columnist Peter Vecsey called the deal that sent Pau Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers "the Memphis Grizzlies' tax-deductible donation to the Lakers.''
Vecsey reported that other than the Lakers not a single team was approached regarding Gasol's manifest availability. Had they been, there's every reason to believe the Grizzlies could've gleaned more. At the very least, there's no way Gasol should've been traded for next to nothing except promises of something to come unless Brian Cardinal's contract ($6.3M/$6.7M after this year) was part of the outgoing package.
Guaranteed, Pat Riley would've said "yes" to that in a heartbeat, as evidenced by the Shaq deal. Phoenix insisted Miami assume Marcus Banks' remaining three ($4.2M/$4.55M/$4.847M) years after this one. I assure you, that would've been a Steve Kerr stipulation no matter where Shawn Marion wound up.

NBA wouldn't do anything about it, even if its proven to be collusion.
Vecsey knows his !
It's pretty easy to verify...
Vecsey says it's so? Then it probably ain't. Memphis has had him on the block since he injured himself playing for Spain in 2006.Anyone who didn't know is a putz.
Lakers Are Dynastyyy
Funniest post of the week.

Thank You.
....and all that talk with Chicago doesn't count?
That's what I thought. I've been seeing Gasol's name come up in rumors pretty consistently since then.Vecsey says it's so? Then it probably ain't. Memphis has had him on the block since he injured himself playing for Spain in 2006.
Makes you wonder if we'd have ever heard about the Joe Smith secret deal if it wasn't in Minnesota.

Somebody should bannd the little jerk .
What a legit ing moron.
I believe everyone knew Gasol was available.
But if I'm reading Vecsey right, he's saying that the Lakers were the only team that Memphis approached. I'm sure plenty of other teams approached Memphis.
