When the Memphis Grizzlies placed Marc Gasol and Mike Conley on the trading block in February, it was unsure if they would actually pull the trigger on a deal. While they were lukewarm on offers for Conley (who is understandably more difficult to move due to his larger contract), they sifted through offers on Gasol and ultimately decided to sever ties after 10.5 seasons.
Marc Gasol was nearly dealt to the Charlotte Hornets, but he was quickly rerouted to the Toronto Raptors in the closing moments of the hectic NBA Trade Deadline.
