Marc Gasol's arrival in Toronto met with mixed reactions.

Gasol came alive in the Finals to record three games with 17 points or more, but remained fairly ineffective in playoff match-ups prior to that point. After averaging as high as 19.3 ppg in the postseason just the year prior, the 34-year-old scored just 9.4 points per playoff game during the Raptors' title run.

Despite shooting more from three-point territory in the playoffs than his previous year with the Grizzlies - where he was the prime scorer - Marc's conversion dropped to 38% from deep.

During the 26 regular season games he played(starting in 19) after the trade, Gasol recorded his first single-digit scoring average(9.1 ppg) of his career. Playing over 25 minutes per contest, Marc's numbers included 6.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. The big man is slated to make another $25 million if he opts in for next season, which is far more than what any other team might be willing to pay him.
