He chose to sign with the Lakers over re-signing with the Toronto Raptors. With this move, he gets closer to his brother Pau, who also lives in California.
The Gasol brothers are the first brothers in team history to suit up for the Lakers at some point in their careers.
The 35-year-old will serve as the team’s starting center. He became the starter when the Lakers traded JaVale McGee to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The three-time All-Star was a second-round draft pick by the Lakers in the 2007 NBA draft. However, he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in 2008.
He was traded on February 1st, 2008 with Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, a 2008 first-round draft pick (Donté Greene was later selected), and a 2010 1st round draft pick (Greivis Vásquez was later selected) to the Grizzlies. In exchange, the Lakers received Pau Gasol and a 2010 2nd-round draft pick (Devin Ebanks was later selected).
This will be Gasol’s third NBA team. There was also speculation before he signed with the Lakers that he would sign with an overseas team.
