Free-agent Gasol trusts gut in signing for Bulls

Recent free agent Pau Gasol says signing for the Bulls over NBA champion San Antonio or Oklahoma City came down to a gut decision.

Gasol says on Tuesday that after speaking with Bulls players Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, “instinct told me to pick Chicago.”

The 7-foot Spanish forward says Chicago was a logical choice since “without doubt it is one of the championship favorites in the East alongside Cleveland.”
