ANALYSIS: The Dallas Mavericks apparently emerged as a finalist for the veteran center, but Gasol has now narrowed his choices down to returning to Toronto or signing with the Lakers. Toronto is working hard to try and re-sign the big man after losing out on Serge Ibaka.
The Lakers, who are definitely
interested in Gasol, face an uphill battle to clear room for the
potential signing of the big man out of Spain. Marc Stein of The New York Times
says the Lakers have discussed trading JaVale McGee to make space
for Gasol and the Knicks have emerged as a potential landing spot
for McGee now.
