If they trade Gasol its because he showed them signs or told them directly that he wants to be traded. He may not be over the situation with his girlfriend and Kobe's wife...who knows?
This is how I see it.
Before Gasol was traded to the Lakers, LA was full of drama. Kobe was demanding to be traded, talking crap about Bynum saying he should be traded for Kidd and that he sucks, he was throwing Jerry Buss under the Bus, Phil said Kobe was uncoachable a couple of years before that, the Lakers hadn't made it past the 1st round since Shaq left.
Sounds terrible...
Then they trade for Gasol. Kobe stops bitching. The lakers start winning... a lot.
Gasol's the reason why they got to the Finals 3 times in a row. If they never traded for him, Kobe would have been gone and Lakerland would have been dealing with an average team and 2 less titles.
Unless you trade Gasol for Dwight Howard, don't trade Gasol.
Idc if he was getting pushed around by Carl Landry and Dirk in the playoffs... and who cares if his gf and Kobes wife have issues... keep gasol.
Of course unless, like you said... he asked he wants out. But I doubt that. He seems to like it in LA.
I don't know why LA would even consider something like this.
