The Lakers have agreed to trade Marc Gasol, a 2024 second-round pick and cash to the Grizzlies for the draft rights to Wang Zhelin, sources tell ESPN. Deal saves Lakers $10M. Gasol and Grizzlies will work together on waiver and release to allow him to remain in Spain w/ family.

Was he willing to play if the Lakers didn’t move him?  This makes them worse.  Marginally so, but still worse.

It was clear last year when they recruited Drummond over Gasol last spring that the Lakers/LeBron had moved on, and more clear with their recruitment of Howard and DeAndre Jordan this summer.

Gasol is completely washed, but had a little different skill set than howard and Jordan. Hope this doesn’t mean the lakers get someone else. Kind of wish Gasol would play this year in Memphis.

I'm sure they'll get someone else. Just a matter of if they do it now or wait until the trade deadline/buyout market.

I'm guessing he wanted to retire so the Lakers looked for a way to clear his salary and it is kind of cool he gets to retire as a Grizzly.
