Eric Pincus's post on LA Lakers | Latest updates on Sulia

Pau Gasol has been loosely linked to the Wolves, primarily because of Ricky Rubio. The two are close.

Rubio told reporters in Minnesota "[Gasol] proved to the league he is one of the best," Rubio told reporters in Minneapolis. "He can pass. He can shoot. He can rebound. He can do a lot of things. I think if you use him in the right way, he is a top player in this league. If they don't want him, we are more than welcome to get him." The hard part is finding something that actually interests the Lakers - if the Wolves are still interested. I know they promised season ticket holders they're make the playoffs - and that's not looking so good right about now. http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakersnow/la-sp-ln-ricky-rubio-speaks-out-pau-gasol-20130131,0,6628117.story
