While NBA fans follow the Pau Gasol trade rumors, also paying close attention to them is Pau Gasol himself.

"It's not the first time that my name appears in the rumor section of the NBA," Gasol said. "It's not something that worries me at this time although I am following the story from the press.

"The only thing that has changed with respect to the past is the delicate situation of the Grizzlies in terms of results, as well as the changes that have taken place within the offices with the change of ownership.

"My aim right now is to return to play and help the Grizzlies win games," Gasol said. "I will soon return to train with the team. It's not a question of whether I want to play for the Grizzlies or not."
