Lakers Rumors: LA Must Avoid Trading Pau Gasol to Minnesota

The Lakers must turn a blind eye to the Minnesota Timberwolves' desire to land Pau Gasol. That trade is not one that would have a happy ending for Los Angeles. 

It is not the notion of trading Gasol that is the problem. The 7' Spaniard needs to be traded. He has been involved in rumors ever since the deal that had him packing his bags for Chris Paul was nixed by the league. 

This, combined with the switch in offensive system and the emergence of Andrew Bynum, has led to Gasol having his worst season as a Laker.
