Marc Gasol was drafted by the Lakers, but had his rights traded to Memphis for his brother, Pau, before he ever played an NBA game. Now, he'll get a chance to help the Lakers win back-to-back titles. https://t.co/ztEI09NFl0

If Gasol is at the min, which is a little more than $2.6 mil – then his hit on the Lakers' cap and tax is $1.6 mil – any more $ and it's via S&T, no other way if full BAE to Wes and full MLE to Trez

Gasol is a 2yr though as I see reports … So his cap hit would be the 2.6 mil straight up.

Cleveland is trading Jordan Bell and Alfonzo McKinnie to the Lakers in the Gasol deal, sources tell ESPN.

Both are on non-guaranteed deals that the Lakers can waive. https://t.co/xnFWdVTHv3

As we finish the show, this breaking news.
Fantastic signing. Equalizes the offense defense mesh. Great signing Rob!
Michael H says
Sorry they couldn’t get rid of Kuz for you Tom Lol. We also get Jordan Bell an end of the bench emergency center. Not bad at all.
LakerTom says
LOL. I’m happy we still have Kuz but not sure he’s safe yet. The trade deadline’s coming up sooner than ever before. Now Kuz is probably 6th in the scoring pecking order after AD, LeBron, Dennis, Trezz, and KCP. Talk about an upgraded Lakers roster.
TRUST IN PELINKA! TRUST IN PELINKA! TRUST IN PELINKA!
LakerTom says
Bell probably waived but maybe not. We’ll see.
Gasol far better than Ibaka.
Pelinka making lemonade out of lemons!
Legend44 says
McKinnie noted as strong perimter defender. Wonder if he’ll stick?
LakerTom says
I saw him play on the Warriors. Good defender and finisher. He could stick. 6′ 7,” has hops, OK shooter, and we need more 3&D wings.
LakerTom says
Now we need Markieff to complete the coup!
Magicman says
Gasol and Baynes land in good spots. Happy for both.
John M. says
All the credit goes to Magic for getting the hell out of the way ?. Mitch and Jim get honorable mention ?.
LakerTom says
LMAO! Good one, John.
John M. says
Magic’s exit was messy, but he did help pave the way back to the top. Jeanie done her daddy good…
Buba says
Hahaha! That’s hilarious, Michael. Never laughed this hard in a long time. That made my night.
