For the Los Angeles Lakers, adding another big man in DeAndre Jordan means a greater chance of winning the championship in the 2021-22 season. However, a report shows that for veteran Marc Gasol, this may also mean bad news.
Even before Jordan’s potential joining, there were already Rumble The 36-year-old Zijin Army has no future. Anthony Davis and the return of Dwight Howard have been selected-this means that the former NBA Defensive Player of the Year has become the third choice of head coach Frank Vogel.
After reports that the Lakers planned to sign Jordan, Gasol’s situation got worse. The All-Star center, who was recently traded by the Brooklyn Nets to the Detroit Pistons, is expected to sign with Los Angeles once he is exempted. Sports meeting Report.
With this in mind, according to Jowan Buha, the future of Gasol’s Purple and Golden Legion has become even more bleak. Sports meetingHe hinted that the Spaniard’s time in Hollywood may be over.
Buha pointed out that as early as the last NBA season, Gasol’s time with the Lakers has been uneven. The Los Angeles team brought in Andre Drummond-which clearly shows that the Lakers are looking for other options to improve their midfield position.
Drummond has moved to the Philadelphia 76ers. But Jordan’s potential arrival suggests that the 36-year-old may no longer be part of Vogel’s plans for next season.
Once the 6-foot-11-inch center signed a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Lakers, Gasol’s position on the list is questionable.
Gasol’s NBA career has been declining. Last season, he averaged only 4.1 points and 2.1 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was only 45.4%.
Whether any NBA teams are interested in introducing Gasol remains to be seen. The Lakers can try to trade him and add another player to fill other positions on the roster.
As mentioned before postalOne option for the three-time All-Star is to go to Europe. According to reports, Barcelona is interested in adding him to the team and reuniting him with his brother Pau Gasol.
