		<description><![CDATA[The claims regarding Gasol instantly killed the credibility of this rumor. Remember, if it wasn&#039;t for Dave Stern, Gasol would be a Houston Rocket. So any claim that Howard would be behind Gasol in the pecking order makes no sense considering the Lakers have already attempted to trade Gasol for a point guard.... and likely will again....

But the best way to shoot down a bogus rumor is to give an actual quote with a source stating the exact opposite.... like this one: 

&quot;Kobe Lists Bynum As 2nd Option, Not Gasol: &#039;Andrew is thirsty to score and he can score. He has more of a scorer’s mentality [than Gasol], so we’ll take advantage of that&#039;&quot;

http://www.hoops-nation.com/kobe-lists-bynum-as-2nd-option-not-gasol/

Anybody of sane mind and awakened consciousness would agree that if Bynum is a 2nd option over Gasol... then so would Howard.]]></description>
