Los Angeles Lakers: 5 Trade Destinations for Pau Gasol

After another second round bounce, the Los Angeles Lakers will undoubtedly look to improve in the coming offseason. In order to return to the promised land, they must ship Gasol out of town.

A package involving Gasol will not net the Lakers a player like Dwight Howard, but a few good players could do the trick. 

The Lakers will look to get more younger and athletic, but most importantly, their bench production should improve.
