Its appears that Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol is on his way to the Chicago Bulls. On the heels of reports that Gasol will sign on the dotted line with Chicago soon, the Lakers are now engaging in three-team trade talks with the Bulls and Houston Rockets.
Lakers in 3-way talks that would send Pau to CHI + net them 1 or 2 picks. As of now, no players coming back to Lakers. 3rd team possibly HOU

It remains to be seen what parts would go where, but in the end Gasol will likely end up in a Bulls jersey.
Chicago reportedly prioritized signing Gasol over Carmelo Anthony, who it feared was going to end up re-signing with the New York Knicks. An eventuality that happened on Saturday.
Teaming Gasol up with Joakim Noah in Chicago’s frontcourt could very well form one of the better power forward/center combos in the NBA.
