Marc Stein of ESPN has reported that “Pau Gasol, as expected, officially notified the Bulls today that he’s declining his 2016-17 option and going to free agency.” The Charlotte Hornets will have a void to fill at one of their big man positions this summer and Gasol could be a prime target. There has been nothing that has linked the two but a potential deal between the two could be in the best interest for both sides.
Gasol will be entering his 16th season in the NBA next year and he is still able to produce at a high level.
