Pau Gasol Will Sign with the Chicago Bulls
It hasn't been easy. After meditating it a lot I've chosen to play with the Chicago Bulls. Looking forward to this new chapter of my career — Pau Gasol (@paugasol) July 12, 2014 And with that simple announcement, Pau Gasol is a Laker no more. It is fitting that the man from Spain, where this […]
Friday Forum

Here’s to you, Pau
In all likelihood, Pau Gasol will play a maximum of 25 more games in the Lakers’ purple and gold. Pau’s contract, which pays him $19.3 million a year, will expire at the end of this season. He’s past his prime, sure, but he still has a ton to offer to a team who needs a […]
