Los Angeles Lakers power forward has struggled under the new offense implemented by Mike D'Antoni and has been rumored to be on the trading block, but despite those rumors the Lakers have yet to pull the trigger on the numerous offers they've received.

One such offer came from Minnesota Timberwolves, who have been in pursuit of Gasol for the past two seasons in the hopes of pairing the two-time NBA champion with fellow Spanish teammate Ricky Rubio.

Unfortunately for Minnesota, the Lakers seemingly have no interest in trade offers proposed by the team.

Though Gasol appears to be on a short leash with the Lakers moving forward, their front office has let it be known that Gasol will be on the trading block if things don't change in the near future, but appear to be holding out for Steve Nash's return. The team assumes a drastic turnaround will take place with Nash back in the fold and Gasol may benefit more than most.

It remains to be seen whether or not the Lakers ultimately trade Gasol before the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 21, 2013, but it seems as though there are plenty of trade options out there with teams interested in taking on Gasol's contract for the rest of this season and the next.

Other big-names mentioned in potential trades for Gasol include Ryan Anderson of the New Orleans Hornets and the New York Knicks' Amar'e Stoudemire. Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks has also been rumored to be a potential deal, but doesn't seem to be very likely with the Hawks not expressing interest in Gasol.
