For Carlos Boozer, #ReallyTho….If the Lakers make this trade then I’m done with

them…#RealSh*t

The Chicago Bulls are exploring avenues to acquire Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau

Gasol before Thursday’s trade deadline, according to sources close to the situation.

The Bulls have long hoped to wedge themselves into the trade running for Orlando

Magic star Dwight Howard, but sources told ESPN.com that Howard’s well-chronicled

lack of interest in a trade to Chicago has prompted the Bulls to switch their focus to

Gasol in advance of Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline.  Sources say that the Lakers, how-

ever, have limited interest in the players Chicago would be offering, starting with

Bulls forward Carlos Boozer.  So the Bulls would have to recruit at least one more team

to the discussions to have any shot at Gasol, sources said, with the Lakers known to be

insistent on getting back at least one certifiable star if they consent to trade the Span-

iard.  Sources say that the Lakers, furthermore, are talking to other teams about Gasol

in advance.
