The Los Angeles Lakers appear more and more likely by the day to move on from Marc Gasol this offseason. As more reports surface, and more players are linked to the team in buyouts and free agency rumors, Gasol’s future in Los Angeles looks grimmer and grimmer.
The veteran big man had anything but a smooth first season as a Laker, shuffling in and out of not just the starting lineup, but the rotation as a whole. The result was a frustrated Gasol that appeared to be considering asking for a buyout before opting to remain with the team, only to struggle in the playoffs, raising more questions about his future with the organization.
