It would be interesting to see Gasol join the Bulls roster alongside Joakim Noah, especially if Derrick Rose can finally come back at 100 percent.
The next question would be whether or not Carmelo Anthony would join forces with Gasol, as well.
Whether or not this report proves to be true is yet to be seen, but get your popcorn ready.
One thing is for certain, and that is Gasol is ready to move on from the Lakers after turning down two offers from the team.
