The deal through a few Media Outlets is getting finalized as we go to press bit it's not conventional. Pau Gasol has agreed to leave the Staples Center Home Games with Black Mamba and join the Chicago Bulls playing Home games at the Madhouse on Madison.
Now Gasol could have easily signed the $5.3 million (annually) Mid-Level Exception but he wants not want Wells Fargo Wagon but three or more. The Bulls can accommodate that by getting a Sing and Trade from the Lakers and apparently that is what's getting done.
What the "Spaniard" brings to the Bulls is a 5-Star low-post presence when he is on his game. He is the most skilled (he and the Hornets Big Al Jefferson) "Big" in the Logo from an Offensive Standpoint. He can Face-Up, Back to the Basket, Mid-Range, Hook Shots either hand, off the bounce, up and under...you name it Gasol can do it. I wonder though about his toughness and desire and I think playing with Jo All-Star and the TAJ-manian Devil along with Coach Thibs yelling on every possession will light some Kingsford Edge Briquettes under the "Spaniard".
@paugasol 2013-14 Numbers with LAKER GANG
60 Gms 60 started 17.4 ppg 9.7 rpg 3.4 apg 1.5 blks
Gasol is arguably with Jo All-Star are the two best Passing "Bigs" in the Logo and the movement of the Spalding Orange is essential to winning Chips...ask "POPS" and the Spurs!
360 Degrees...Gasol is coming off of a 2013-14 Salary of $19.285.850 million...and a Total of $156.5 million in his Career...take those Wells Fargo Wagons as that is some Dead Presidents right there!
Note Gasol is 34 year of age turning 35 in July 2015...
