Los Angeles Lakers: 5 Potential Pau Gasol Trade Packages

With the NBA trade deadline quickly approaching, and the Los Angeles Lakers sitting six games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder for first place in the Western Conference, a potential trade may be lurking around the corner.

There are several rumors swirling around the possible movement of Pau Gasol, once (and arguably still) a centerpiece of the Lakers franchise.

With his pivotal role in recent back-to-back NBA Championships in 2009 and 2010, it is hard to imagine the Lakers parting ways with Gasol, but his lack of production in Mike Brown’s system may spur some movement before the March 15th NBA trade deadline.

Gasol’s skill would make him a valuable addition to many teams around the league lacking a presence in the paint, and with the Lakers' lack of additional scoring on the outside to compliment Kobe Bryant, there are various trade scenarios that could possibly be in the cards.
