The Lakers are reloading. The defending champs made another splashy signing on Sunday, agreeing to a deal with center Marc Gasol, according to multiple reports. ESPN was first, and also reports the deal will be for two seasons.
Gasol, 35, spent the last season and a half in Toronto, winning a championship in 2019. For 2020, he averaged 7.5 points in 26.4 minutes per game, shooting 38.5% from three. Los Angeles traded JaVale McGee to make room for Gasol, which means both of the centers from the Lakers’ Finals run—McGee and Dwight Howard—have been replaced. Gasol will join Montrezl Harrell in L.
