Roland Lazenby: Interesting to see what is offered for Gasol. I do think the Lakers have established their commitment to get value for Pau. So they might. Twitter

A plugged-in league source tells SheridanHoops.com that the feeling is mutual, and Orlando is prepared to trade him sooner rather than later. The source said that when Magic team president traveled to Michigan last weekend to speak in person with owner Rich DeVos, the conclusion was reached that not only was it time for Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith to go, but Howard, too.

Johnson is obviously upset to see the Lakers lose to the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games in the Western Conference semifinals. That marks the second consecutive season the Lakers lost in the second round, spurring the former Laker to suggest adding youth and speed to their roster even if it comes at the expense of trading Andrew Bynum or Pau Gasol. "Those are your tradeable pieces," Johnson said of the Lakers' two big men. "You still build around Kobe [Bryant]. He was still great no matter what his age is. This man showed he's still dominant as a player. To me, you have to get younger and more athletic. Oklahoma City is young, athletic and fast. The team to beat is the team that knocked you out. That's Oklahoma City and then the San Antonio Spurs." Los Angeles Times

"After you get past Dwight Howard, Bynum and Tim Duncan, that guy, Pau Gasol, is the best big man in basketball," Johnson said. "Nobody has more skills than Gasol. The problem is you have him sitting on the high post. Yes, Mike Brown's offense drives me crazy. How can you say this guys' skills are eroding and he doesn't have them? No, I've seen this man dominate in the playoffs and the regular season. If a team wants a big man, you have to call the Lakers. You have two sitting there that are great." Los Angeles Times

If the Sixers are eliminated by the Boston Celtics in Game 7, the general consensus around the league is that they’ll try to trade Iguodala this summer. Even with Philadelphia’s recent success, league sources insist that Iguodala is a player who could be moved this offseason if the right offer comes along. HoopsWorld

The Lakers, who are looking to shake their roster up this offseason, are expected to once again emerge as a potential suitor for Iguodala. The 28-year-old would be an excellent fit for Los Angeles and solve their problem at small forward. Sources close to the situation say that Kobe Bryant would welcome the move since he has wanted the Lakers to acquire an athletic, versatile small forward for several years. HoopsWorld

The Mavs will attempt to trade Odom before June 29. Any team that has Odom on its roster by that date will be responsible for paying him the $2.4 million in guaranteed money he's owed next year. If Dallas can't get rid of Odom in a trade, it will likely waive him and be responsible for paying Odom his guaranteed money. That's something Dallas would obviously rather avoid. ESPN.com

The source says the Knicks would be "on the top of his list" if Odom became a free agent. "Lamar is big on being comfortable," the source said. "And New York is somewhere he can be comfortable." ESPN.com

"It definitely won't be the fiasco that it was last year," the Odom source said of the 13-year veteran's approach to 2012-13. "He wants to find a place where he can end his career, and New York is ideal. He's won championships in the past and he wants to win another. And to do it there would be great." ESPN.com

The Lakers are mindful of taking on too much additional salary because of the league's luxury tax, but they do plan to make a contract extension offer to Bynum, Kupchak said. So it’s easy to understand why Gasol believes he could be the odd man out. “If something does happen, it does,” Gasol said. “If it doesn’t, I’ll be happy to be back next training camp ready to go, and have a more peaceful year and focus on our goal to win a championship."

Yet Gasol didn't seem to be in any rush to leave the Lakers' practice facility, knowing this could be his last visit there. “It’s still very much possible that this is one of my last days," Gasol said while standing outside the practice facility. "Every day could be my last day. It’s not sentimental, but it does cross your mind that there could be a change." Yahoo! Sports

Mike Trudell: Kupchak: "I don't see us being under the cap any time soon." Only way to improve team aside from trades is the small exceptions. Twitter

Thoughts on OJ Mayo's season? Marc Gasol: Very good season. It may have ended on a sour note in the playoffs because he wasn't able to hit shots and became frustrated about it... Maybe he got tired because we had him putting full-court pressure on Eric Bledsoe. When the time came to shoot the ball, maybe his legs were not fresh enough. But that's a player I really like. We're friends, we've been together a lot of years and I have a lot of confidence in him. HoopsHype
