Los Angeles Lakers they make the final moves to finish making up the super team of the season NBA 2021-22. Lebron James has a new partner as an old man who, as expected, gave way to the exit of a star of the California team.
On Thursday, September 9, it was officially announced that DeAndre Jordan he was a new Lakers player and with a pretty comical first message it was already starting to be news. With the arrival of the pivot, the Los Angeles team went on to have four big men.
Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, Marc Gasol and the said Jordan would go on to fight for two of the five places in the formation of initialist, but little hard battle. The arrival of the former Brooklyn Nets player opened the door to the Spanish pivot.
With only one season in Los Angeles Lakers, Gasol could not consolidate in the team and except for a couple of games did not play a major role. Marc averaged 13.4 points, 7.5 rebounds per game in the NBA 2021-22. Those numbers at the pivot didn’t reach him to remain LeBron’s teammate and company.
The Los Angeles Lakers trade Marc Gasol for the rights of an NBA prospect
As reported by Adrian Wojnarowski, the Los Angeles Lakers agreed the exchange of Marc Gasol, a second-round pick for the 2024 Draft, and cash with the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for receiving selection rights from Wang Zhelin. With this exchange, the LeBron James team and company saved $ 10 million because of the luxury tax they had to pay if they assumed the salary of the three-time All-Star: $ 2.7 million.
