Over the last few years, Los Angeles Lakers’ power forward Pau Gasol has been at the center of trade rumors.

Although it doesn’t look like the Lakers are going to move Gasol (and star guard Kobe Bryant doesn’t want them to deal Gasol), several teams, including the Charlotte Bobcats, have inquired about his availability.

Gasol wants to stay in Los Angeles and just wants to get the next two days over with.

In other news, Gasol scrimmaged on Tuesday and looked good, but likely won’t play when the Lakers welcome Dwight Howard and the Houston Rockets to the Staples Center Wednesday night.

Gasol is averaging 17.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.5 blocks per game this season.
