Pau Gasol will become a free agent in the offseason and is all but assured of not return to L.A.
Gasol reportedly has not ruled out a return to the Memphis Grizzlies among what will be many options for the veteran power forward.
“It’s appealing,” Pau Gasol said. “One of the best centers in the NBA, one of the best interior players, is my brother. There’s a lot of attractive factors there. But who knows if that’s even a possibility or if that will ever happen. Right now, I’m just trying to focus on (the Lakers’ opponents) and staying healthy and playing a very successful year so this team and others will have the certainty and the confidence that I am a difference maker, that I am an elite player and I have a lot of years in me.”
“If there’s possibilities of being in a place that has those type of chances, it’s something I will think about,” Gasol said. “But, again, I’m not in that position yet. I’m here. We’re just kind of guessing here. We’ll see. We’ll cross the bridge when I get there. No rush.”
Even with his numbers down and injuries plauging him, Gasol should have a nice list of suitors.
A Grizzlies front line with Randolph, Marc Gasol, and Pau Gasol would give teams nightmares.
