From Ramona Shelburne and Marc Stein: "The Lakers have yet to engage in any
Gasol-related trade discussions with other teams, sources told ESPN.com. But
Gasol's recent comments about his frustrations with his role in the Lakers'
offense, his impending free agency, and his struggles offensively and
particularly defensively have essentially forced the team to consider its
options."
According to Shelburne and Stein, D'Antoni called all the players together on Friday and told them to come to him if they have issues with their role on the team.
One trade that works is Gasol going to Memphis, to play with his brother, with Zach Randolph coming back to LA, however the Lakers would decline that deal since Randolph will be signed through 2014-15 after he picks up his $16.9 million option. Teams like the Knicks and Bulls could also call, but they likely can not put together a package that would be acceptable to the Lakers.
