Earlier today, we heard that the Timberwolves are putting together a package for Pau Gasol. According to Brian Kamenetzky from ESPN Los Angeles, the Lakers big man recently addressed his future in Los Angeles:
"There's talks and rumors every day. Today I was reading it was Minnesota is really interested in trying to put a good package together," Gasol said. "[Other teams are] calling, and it seems like things are just waiting for the right offer to come along, for [the Lakers] to pull the trigger."
Gasol goes on to say that he wants to stay in Los Angeles to try to win another title, but knows it's not up to him. Gasol also indicated that it hasn't been easy to ignore all the trade talk.
In addition to Minnesota, we have heard the Rockets are still interested in Gasol despite David Stern vetoing their first attempt to land the 31-year-old. The Celtics may also have kicked the tires on a Gasol deal.
three team trade with the suns that send nash and hill to the lakers pau to minnesota and williams and first round pick from minnesota to the suns
I would think a 2013 first round pick plus Derrick Williams and Malcolm Lee for Gasol would be best for the Lakers.
