Marc Gasol was drafted 48th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers back in the 2017 NBA draft, although the Spaniard's rights were later traded to the Memphis Grizzlies and Gasol has been with the team ever since. Nevertheless, Marc Stein from the New York Times is reporting that the Grizzlies could look to trade away Gasol, bringing an end to their longtime association:

One whisper making the rounds: Marc Gasol can become a free agent at season's and, amid a growing belief around the league that he will indeed exercise that option, Memphis could be moved to explore trading Gasol now rather than face the threat of losing him without compensation

After an excellent start to the season, the Grizzlies have recently fallen out of the playoffs due to their 19-24 record. Meanwhile, Gasol is averaging 15.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.
