Of the 15 players on the Los Angeles Lakers full-time roster in 2020-21, upwards of 10 could be free agents during the upcoming offseason. Marc Gasol is one of just five players under a guaranteed contract in 2021-22, but even he has some uncertainty surrounding his future with the team.
If Gasol wants to play another year, the Lakers would surely welcome him with open arms with his role likely being dictated by other moves the team makes. However, there is a chance he could retire as he is entering his age-37 season after what could be one of the most physically difficult seasons of his career.
