The Lakers fired Brown about two days after publicly supporting him. I would trust anything Lakers sources say one way or the other. I agree that it might make sense to involve a third team, but BC might make the deal now then try to flip Gasol to a contender closer to the deadline. I think he says yes as soon as the Lakers ask. Anyway, I don't think that Gasol is unmotivated, simply that he's an awful fit for a d'antoni's offense.
