Marc Gasol
You would think that Marc Gasol came from a laundromat with how washed he ha
s looked this season. Now the Los Angeles Lakers may be trying to cut their
losses on him.
Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer reported Tuesday that some rival executives
speculate the Lakers could buy out the three-time All-Star big man.
Gasol, 36, is having a disappointing year with 4.8 points and 3.9 rebounds a
game as the Lakers’ starting center. The team just signed Andre Drummond,
who will presumably supplant Gasol in the starting lineup. Montrezl Harrell
can also play as a small ball 5, as can Anthony Davis whenever he returns fr
om injury. That would appear to leave Gasol as the odd man out in the frontc
ourt rotation.
A buyout might not be too difficult, as Gasol is making just $2.6 million th
is season and $2.7 million next season. He also has an NBA championship ring
already, meaning that he might not be too opposed to leaving the defending
champion Lakers for better playing time elsewhere. We do know of one rival t
eam who seems to be looking for more size.

现在，洛杉矶湖人队可能正试图减少对Gasol的损失。
B/R的杰克·费舍尔周二报导说，一些竞争对手的高层们推测认为湖人队可能会买断这位
三届全明星大个子。
现年36岁的Gasol作为湖人队的首发中锋，这赛季的表现令人失望，平均得分为4.8分
平均篮板为3.9个。 在球队刚刚签下了Andre Drummond，后者可能会在首发阵容中取代
Gasol。 Montrezl Harrell也可以做为小球5号位打球，Anthony Davis伤愈归来后也可
以打。 这让Gasol的位置很尴尬。
买断可能并不难，因为Gasol本赛季仅赚260万美元，下赛季仅赚270万美元。 他已经拥
有一个NBA冠军戒指，这意味着他可能不会太反对离开卫冕冠军湖人队在其他地方获得更
好的比赛时间。 我们确实知道有一支湖人的竞争对手的队似乎正在寻找中锋。
