PAU GASOL RUMORS & GOSSIP

World Peace a challenge in LA

When it takes a Kobe baseline jumper and a five-second violation for the Lakers to pull out a last-minute victory against the Raptors, you know things aren't going well for the Lakers. Kobe, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum are playing really good ball, but past that the team is playing pretty poorly. Their fourth highest paid player is Metta World Peace and he is having by far his...

The Houston Rockets Are Still Interested In Pau Gasol

In early December the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Hornets, and Houston Rockets executed a three-team deal that would have sent Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic, and a 2012 first-round draft pick to the Hornets, Pau Gasol to the Rockets, and Chris Paul to the Lakers. Now, as we all know, David Stern nixed that trade and Paul was eventually traded to the...

Pau wants to get inside

7-footers belong down low, right? It only makes sense. Well tell that to former San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Mike Brown. In Brown’s new offense with the Los Angeles Lakers, Gasol finds himself outside of the lane a lot of the time, sometimes all the way out near the 3-point line. After years of playing in Phil Jackon’s triangle offense, this is a tough adjustment for Gasol...

Don’t Tell Gasol He’s Not an All-Star

Amidst the “Greatest Laker Debate”, the Los Angeles Lakers get their second road win on their six-game roadie last night in overtime against their arch nemesis, the Boston Celtics 88-87. With the relevance of this rivalry being questioned for the first time in four years, the all-star snubs became the hot bed topic of the evening. And one individual, in particular, took...

Pau Gasol discusses Rajon Rondo trade rumor

I actually have always liked Pau Gasol's game. He'd be a tremendous addition to the Celtics, but based on age and contracts the Lakers would be getting the better of the deal. I think the main thing to take from this rumor is that it doesn't look like Danny Ainge wants to rebuild around Rajon Rondo, so unfortunately we need to be prepared for Rondo's possible ...

Rajon Rondo has been a hot topic of discussion this season. There has been speculation of a Rondo for Chris Paul swap, and while that didn’t fall through, Celtics president Danny Ainge has said that big moves for the Celtics aren’t out of the question. On Wednesday, an NBA insider reported that the Celtics have expressed interest for a Pau Gasol-Rajon Rondo swap. The...

Gasol Responds To 'Soft' Label

Since he came into the league, Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol has been called soft. I’m definitely not going to disagree. The guy is a 7-footer who’s afraid to take it strong to the rim and will settle for a baby hook when he should be taking some contact instead. The comments have never really seemed to bother Pau, he continues to play the same way year after year. He...
