Pau Gasol senses the Lakers are ready trade him in the event a good enough deal comes along.

"There's talks and rumors every day. Today I was reading it was Minnesota is really interested in trying to put a good package together," Gasol said. "[Other teams are] calling, and it seems like things are just waiting for the right offer to come along for [the Lakers] to pull the trigger."

Gasol would like to remain in Los Angeles, but admits the situation is out of his hands.

“I'd like to make his team better and get back to a championship level, but it's not up to me," he said.  "Every day I tell myself, try to let it go. Don't think about it. Have fun, be the player you are out there. That's all that you can do."
