Bulls reportedly still eyeing Grizzlies’ Gasol

By Mike McGraw

Could Bulls forward Andres Nocioni be on his way to Memphis in a trade for Pau Gasol?

A league source suggested any talks between the Bulls and Grizzlies are in the preliminary stages. But Memphis general manager Chris Wallace flew to Argentina in recent days to meet with Nocioni, sources confirmed.

One theory is the Bulls would be willing to send Nocioni, first-round draft pick Joakim Noah, backup point guard Chris Duhon and filler to the Grizzlies in exchange for the 7-foot Gasol, who averaged 20.8 points and 9.8 rebounds last season.

Nocioni is a restricted free agent, which means the Bulls can match any offer the third-year forward receives. Bulls general manager John Paxson stated emphatically Monday that he’ll match any offer sheet for Nocioni.

If that was the trade, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Not a bad trade. Really it's Nocioni and Duhon for Gasol. Noah hasnt stepped on a court as a Bull. We wouldnt be missing anything. I love Nocioni but with Deng progressing the way he is, it kinda leaves Nocioni out of the mix.

Memphis likes Nocioni. With drafting Conley Jr. I don't know where Duhon would fit, but he'd give them more as a backup for Mike than Lowry would. You toss Noah into the mix, who gives them great engery, and a great NCAA championship game rookie duo.

Thank god Jerry West has stepped down.
