Free agent Pau Gasol has decided to join the Chicago Bulls he tweeted out on Saturday.
It hasn’t been easy. After meditating it a lot I’ve chosen to play with the Chicago Bulls. Looking forward to this new chapter of my career

Gasol spent the past six seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers but turned down their offers of two years worth $23 million, and three years worth $29 million. The Lakers and Bulls discussed a possible sign-and-trade but those talks failed.
In order to make room for Gasol the Bulls will likely have to amnesty Carlos Boozer and the final year of his deal that pays him $16.8 million.
Gasol averaged 17.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game for the Lakers.
