The Los Angeles Lakers have one less 2012 NBA All-Star on their roster after they agreed to trade veteran big man Marc Gasol to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Gasol began his NBA career with Memphis in 2008. Should he decide to retire, the trade will allow him to do so as a member of the Grizzlies.
The Lakers have stacked their roster with aging former All-Stars this offseason, so it’s no surprise that they are parting ways with one of them. Gasol, 36, averaged 5.0 points and 4.1 rebounds while playing 19.1 minutes per game with L.A. last year.
