Rubio talks Gasol

The two have known each other for years and Ricky Rubio has seen Pau Gasol play at his absolute best but these days it seems as if the Los Angeles Lakers lack appreciate for the former All-Star.  Rubio recently shared his thoughts on Gasol to the media before their next showdown tonight.

"He proved to the league he is one of the best," Rubio said. "He can pass. He can shoot. He can rebound. He can do a lot of things. I think if you use him in the right way he is a top player in this league. If they don't want him, we are more than welcome to get him....It's been the last two years that it seems like they don't want him, but actually they need him....He's a great player. He can do a lot of things and he had some issues with the knees, too. It's been a lot of years without resting for him. But he's a veteran. He knows how to play.....It's hard, when you are hearing things with the rumors that you are going to be traded, to be focused," Rubio said. "Like he says, he's a professional and he's been playing for a long time and he's going to keep doing what he doing."
