Marc Gasol is finishing his one-year tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers after the team agreed to a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies. Individually, the Spaniard player spent his best years in Memphis, but he won’t be staying in the city for that long. 

After a couple of months full of rumors and speculation, the big man is finally leaving the Lakers for the Grizzlies. However, the young team won’t keep the veteran on the roster and will work on waiver. 

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Gasol is returning to Memphis only for a couple of days. Then, he would go to Spain to spend some time with his family. 

The Lakers have agreed to trade Marc Gasol, a 2024 second-round pick and cash to the Grizzlies for the draft rights to Wang Zhelin, sources tell ESPN. Deal saves Lakers $10M. Gasol and Grizzlies will work together on waiver and release to allow him to remain in Spain w/ family.

The Lakers signed two former All-Star centers this offseason — Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan — for franchise's frontcourt. Gasol has a one-year, $2.7M that multiplies with Lakers luxury tax. Gasol, 36, is three-time All-Star, an NBA Defensive Player of Year and NBA champion.
