Marc Gasol has found a new team in the NBA with the defending NBA Champs. The Spanish player was linked with several teams around the league, like the Clippers, Lakers, and Warriors during this offseason. Even a return to Spain was a possibility for Gasol after the Orlando bubble. Now, the younger Gasol is headed to LA to bring all his championship experience.

Marc Gasol was drafted by the Lakers, but had his rights traded to Memphis for his brother, Pau, before he ever played an NBA game. Now, he'll get a chance to help the Lakers win back-to-back titles. https://t.co/ztEI09NFl0

Gasol agreed to a two-year deal with the LA Lakers. He might not be the All-Star he once was but can still be a great addition to any team looking to compete. He’s bringing his intelligence and passing skills to the table, along with his championship pedigree.
This is a good signing for the Lakers, which deepens their defense and puts them in a very favorable position to compete.
