According to multiple reports, Marc Gasol will continue his career in the Los Angeles Lakers, the team that drafted him and traded his rights to Memphis for his brother Pau Gasol.
The Lakers are getting an NBA and FIBA World Cup Champion who is leaving the Toronto Raptors.
In order to sign him, the Lakers traded JaVale McGee to Cleveland Jordan Bell and Alfonzo McKinnie who are expected to be cut in order to open up space in the salary cap.
Gasol is expected to get a two-year deal, ending the speculation about a possible return to Europe in the near future.
The 35 years old center will try to imitate the success of his brother Pau, a two-time NBA champion with the Lakers.
According to ESPN, Pau and Marc Gasol would be the first set of brothers to each play for the Lakers at any point in their careers.
Marc Gasol won his first and only NBA ring so far in 2019 with the Toronto Raptors.
