I tried posting this under the Tyrus diary and was told to move it, so...

I'd like to  get back to Pau Gasol rumors/scenarios.  According to McGraw's article in the Daily Herald, Pax is not backing down from publicly stating his desire to make the team better.

From the article...

Paxson pointed out that the Indiana Pacers seemed to jell quickly, winning six of nine games since making an eight-player trade with Golden State last month. Then again, the Pacers have played just two road games with the new lineup.

"Here's what I think it boils down to in a lot of ways: All of our guys, they're high-quality players," Paxson said. "They don't fall into the category of the superstar, though. They're not Kobe (Bryant). They're not (Dwyane) Wade. They're not LeBron (James), Carmelo (Anthony). Those are the guys that are basically untouchables in the league.

"So, you know what you have and you know that they're terrific players. But you're also looking for that guy that maybe is a franchise-type guy."

Paxson gave the impression that while he has high regard for the Bulls players, none of them are off limits right now.
"I'm real comfortable with the group we have in terms of how they play the game and how they approach it, all those things," he said. "And I put a high value on that. It always goes back to if there's a deal to be made that makes you better, you certainly have to take a hard look at it."

Now Talk amongst yourselves...
