NBA 2019-20: 5 biggest expiring contracts this season

#4 Marc Gasol (Toronto Raptors): $25,595,700 for the 2019-20 season

Marc Gasol was a key part of the Raptors' squad

Marc Gasol was a player out of place in what turned out to be his final season with the Memphis Grizzlies, a place where he and Mike Conley made their name. Gasol was about to be traded to the Charlotte Hornets but instead, he was shipped out to the Toronto Raptors.

He became one of the key players in the Raptors' squad as they marched their way to the 2019 NBA title, which was one of the biggest surprises of the season, and Gasol won his first ever title as well.

Gasol, though his offensive numbers have declined with every passing year, has still been the same reliable defender. He averaged 13.6 points and 7.9 rebounds a game. Gasol is one of the best passers of the ball from the post and continued that this season too, averaging 4.4 assists a game.

His numbers on defense were crucial for the Raptors, as he averaged 1.1 steals and blocks for the 2018-19 season. With the Raptors probably moving towards a full rebuild, Gasol becomes a really good proposition for championship caliber teams.

His contract of $25 million a year can be a big deterrent to most rosters, but those who need a passing big man with some of the best defensive game in the NBA, look no further than Marc Gasol.
