Pau Gasol continues to sing the same old song, he does not want to leave the Los Angeles Lakers franchise. The Spaniard denied reports that linked him with the Chicago Bulls saying his goal was to continue to bring jewelry to the City of Angels for as long as he could.
My position is still the same,” Gasol said. “I still would love to be a part of the Lakers and continue to be here to help the team win more championships as soon as possible. It’s out of my control and it’s out of my hands, no matter what.”
“I don’t know where that [report] came from. It’s pointless to really worry about it. I’m totally cool with it, whatever they say. The stories will appear and then disappear on something that does or doesn’t happen again. It sucks to be in that position, but it is what it is.”
Gasol would have been a Houston Rocket this past season had the NBA not intervened in the trade that would have sent Chris Paul to Los Angeles.
