"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago Bulls center Pau Gasol told &lt;em&gt;The&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;New York Post&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;that it is possible his younger brother, Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol, could play for the New York Knicks starting next season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Knicks are expected to go after the younger&amp;nbsp;Gasol during next year\u2019s free agent period, as they will have well over $20 million in salary cap space to spend after the contracts of forward Amar'e Stoudemire and Andrea Bargnani&amp;nbsp;come off the books. Six other players that are currently on the Knicks roster have contracts that expire after this season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CWe\u2019ll see what happens next year, what he decides. Hopefully he\u2019ll have a strong year and all the options in the world, because he\u2019s one of the top centers, interior players in the league, so any team would be fortunate to have him,\u201D Gasol told &lt;em&gt;The&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;New York Post&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gasol, who signed a three-year, $22 million contract with Chicago in the offseason, said he considered going to the Knicks because of the presence of his former coach Phil Jackson and former teammate Derek Fisher, who are now part of the franchise as president and coach, respectively. He says he would have taken an even bigger pay cut to play in New York after making $19.3 million with the Los Angeles Lakers last season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 DOLLINGER: Derrick Rose takes first step again in his return to greatness&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 29-year-old younger Gasol, the 2013 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, has averaged 13.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in his six NBA seasons.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CIt\u2019s a personal decision. I talked to my brother enough about Phil that he knows what he brings to the table,\" Pau&amp;nbsp;Gasol, 34, said. \"I don\u2019t know how much he\u2019s involved in the team, really. He\u2019s in an upstairs position, management position. He\u2019s not on the court every day, so it\u2019s something that [his brother will] consider when he gets to that point.\u201D\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The younger&amp;nbsp;Gasol scored 32 points and also had nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks in team's 105-101 opening game victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Scooby Axson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
