Gasol to Stay if Melo Signs with Lakers?

The Lakers are envisioning a future with Carmelo Anthony and Pau Gasol together in their frontcourt, hoping to make it a reality with step one Thursday.

The Lakers will meet with Anthony at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles, pitching their franchise as a perennial championship contender and their city as a wealth of opportunity.

If Anthony eventually chooses the Lakers, they feel they have a good chance of bringing Gasol back.

“If the Lakers get Carmelo, Pau will stay,” said a person familiar with Gasol’s thinking.
