Losing streaks are never fun, and while the Memphis Grizzlies have endured their fair share of them over the past two seasons, Marc Gasol‘s body language was an indication that the franchise would not shake its funk until something major took place.
That something wound up being a trade with the Toronto Raptors on the date of February 7th, 2019, sending Gasol as part of a trade package en route to Toronto. In the process, the Grizzlies shed one of three max contracts. It was the end of a 10.5-season era of Marc Gasol donning a Memphis Grizzlies uniform — the only NBA jersey he had known until the significant trade took place.
