Wow.
I’m still in shock.
Pau Gasol’s a Laker?
Am still having a hard time getting my head around it.

Lakers Library
Many different stories are circulating about the Laker Grizzly Pau Gasol trade. Chicago was up in arms for supposedly Gasol was ticketed for the Windy City; however, John Paxson never made an offer even close to what the Lakers offered.
In fact, the Bulls did a much better job of spreading rumors then actually making offers. I think Paxson expects people to call up and offer All Stars like ...
