After two-and-a-half seasons in San Antonio, Pau Gasol is moving on. The future Hall-of-Famer and the Spurs have reportedly agreed on a buyout, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
This is not surprising. In fact, it was predictable. Gasol started the season as a sub and eventually lost his place in the rotation after suffering a stress fracture in his left foot. The Spurs tried to showcase him prior to the trade deadline, but they didn’t find a buyer. Since then, he has been playing scrap minutes behind Jakob Poeltl when he got to see the court at all, and he’s been also getting some DNPs.
