Despite not being traded by the Spurs as he requested, Pau Gasol did have something positive to say about his former Memphis Grizzlies at the trade deadline. Tom Orsborn reported:
Pau Gasol grateful Grizzlies traded both him and his brother to title contenders: “It speaks highly of the Grizzlies…I think that’s an appreciation and a great sign of respect for the player." #Spurs https://t.co/mMiKi5jpCF
