Shatter The Backboard:
As the trade deadline approaches, there are at least 5 teams that could use Pau Gasol. Lakers forward Pau Gasol has come up in conversation in regards to a trade since the beginning of the season. He was technically already traded to the Rockets in a three team deal that would have brought in Chris Paul to play for the Lakers. The deal obviously didn’t go through, so here we are with the deadline quickly approaching and the Lakers in desperate need of some help. The following are 5 teams that could trade for Gasol and make the Lakers better in the process.

If the Lakers have a lick of sense they will not trade Gasol,because he will come back and make them wish they had kept him.The Lakers are alright,they just need to jell in time for the playoffs.The coach needs to light a fire under Pau"s ass and get him and Bynum to be more aggresive on both ends of the court.They can"t be afraid to pick up fouls,just go in there and knock some people over,like La Queen Jane does.He does"nt get called for fouls.

Gasol has been soft overall in the playoffs but he is also one of the best Forwards in the game! If the Lakers could actually get a bench that can produce than we can talk about another championship.
