“They can always trade you, they always look to the future and have to make decisions for the next three, four or five years”, said Gasol who admitted that he ready for every possibility, even if he has a special bond with Memphis: “Such a decision by the management will have an impact on me, but at the end, it’s business. It is clear that I have an emotional connection with the city and, even if my relationship with the team changes, it would remain the same with the city. I arrived here when I was 16 and now I am 33. My son was born here. This will never change “.
