Bulls fans might see Pau Gasol's performance at EuroBasket as a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, Gasol was dominant while scoring 40 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in leading Spain past France to earn his team a spot in the 2016 Rio Olympics. But on the other, with training camp less than two weeks away, do you really want to see one of your key players exerting this much energy?

Either way, Gasol was awesome.
