One possible way to shake up the team and breathe some fresh air into a roster that seems to be on its last legs is to trade Pau Gasol.
The 31-year-old big man has helped the Lakers win two championships and make three finals appearances, but he hasn’t found a comfortable role in coach Mike Brown’s new system.
