In a move that I was hopeful could happen, but had no clue how the team could actually execute, the Lakers lured Marc Gasol “back” to Los Angeles to play for the team that originally drafted him 13 years ago.
That tweet, inspired a smile so wide…it’s hard to even put into words. The Lakers have a Gasol on their team again and it just feels right. Gasol will sign a 2-year contract for the veteran minimum, paying the former defensive player of the year roughly $5.3 million over the life of his deal.
