    The latest report had the Bulls wanting to re-sign Pau Gasol rather than trade him.

    Not everyone buys that.

    K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune:

    Two rival executives aren’t convinced the Bulls are done gauging the market for Gasol, whom the Bulls would like to re-sign this offseason but at their price.

    Gasol – who’s averaging 16.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 blocks per game – provides value to the Bulls. But they also have Taj Gibson, Nikola Mirotic and Bobby Portis and could re-sign Joakim Noah. Perhaps, a team without so much big-men depth would value Gasol even more and, accordingly, make a larger financial offer.

    Of course, money isn’t everything. Gasol rejected bigger offers in 2014 to sign with Chicago.
