Gasol Pau Gasol Lakers LA reunion wants to end his career with LA Lakers Barcelona Courtsideheat

Gasol-Lakers reunion? News is buzzing that Pau Gasol wants to return as a Laker. News broke loose when he came out and said that he wants to play another season of basketball with the NBA or in Europe.

Gasol is considering both: Barcelona and the Lakers. He says that both teams are “attractive” towards playing basketball on. The main reason why he wants to return for one more season, is due to the fact that he wants to make it to the Olympics.

He really feels the need to play another season to have another shot at the Olympics before it is too late. We have to remember that he is 39 years old. So, for him, this upcoming season will decide a lot for him.

Why does he want to return to the Lakers?

I think because he had so much success there. When he was playing with the Lakers back in 2008-14, he won 2 championships. When people think of the Lakers; they think of the Lakers with LaMar Odem, Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, and Pau Gasol.

You got to remember Gasol was very good with the Lakers and was a good big man for Kobe. Plus, you got to remember, he was scoring 18 points per game (each season).

Furthermore, you got to admit. He could win another ring, if he joins the Lakers. How? Well, if he joins and LeBron James and Anthony Davis is still there. We could be seeing his third ring come to him next year. Having Gasol, Davis, and LeBron would be pretty cool. Those are three big man that could explode.

That would help get more attention to the franchise, and Gasol. Imagine the headlines if they win a championship, imagine if they win a back-to-back championship (if they win this year). Just think of all the fame, glory, and power that team would have. They would be finally back on the map of noticeable.

Why does he want to return to Barcelona?

To end your career on your terms would be amazing, wouldn’t? To end your career with your first basketball team would be cool too, wouldn’t?

Imagine coming home to your hometown basketball team where it all started for you. Gasol played from 1998-2001.

I think for me, it would be cool to see him return to his hometown basketball team one more time. Have a retirement season there, and start a new chapter in your life.

What should he do?

Both options sound really good, but which one? That’s the question. You could either be with a superteazm (potentially win a championship), or play for your hometown (potentially win a championship).

My decision would be quite easy. If everything works out the way it should with the foot injury recovering and wanting to play another season. I’d say play two more seasons, one with the Lakers (if given a contract) and then one more season with Barcelona.

But, sadly, that may or may not go the way everyone (mainly him) how it wants to go. He did say he’s going to weigh in his options, but to be honest I think those are his two preferences.

Pau Gasol is done with NBA and returning to Spain!

Pau Gasol is done with NBA and returning to Spain! Before we jump into this topic, let’s here from him in a statement:

“I’m happy to return to the club where I began, and I’m excited about this new opportunity: I hope to contribute to the first team very soon. I want to thank Barça and its technical staff for making it possible to join them.”

Originally tweeted by Pau Gasol (@paugasol) on February 23, 2021.

What’s happening with Gasol?

The 40-year-old is signing back with Spain’s team, Barcelona. Barcelona was his original team before going to the NBA and winning The Rookie of The Year Award when he was with Memphis.

This past Saturday, the Spanish Media Reports tried getting a scoop on Gasol and going back to Barcelona. Gasol did not want to comment on that at the time and said that he is just “focused on my recovery and I am not ready to get back to competing just yet.”

However, he made up his mind today. Only four days later. Wow fast turnaround but here we are; Gasol has won two NBA Championships, a 6-time All-Star, plus played with several teams. Of course his draft-team, the Grizzlies. He did play for the Spurs, Bucks, and Bulls. Gasol has averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game for his entire career.

Boogie

DeMarcus Cousins and Rockets split!

DeMarcus Cousins and Rockets split!

DeMarcus Cousins and Rockets split! The center, known as Boogie, has split from the Rockets. This move was already made a few days ago, so this was just a leading cause of what was going to happen.

Also, this was a metal decision for these two-sides to call it quits. The 25-game run with Boogie is over, however, he could have another run in the NBA with a team. He has been trying to come back stronger than ever after Achilles’ injuries, knee injuries, etc.

The fallout happened when DeMarcus Cousins wanted more playing time, didn’t like the way he was being utilized. As a brief note, he was the backup center behind Christian Wood. However, due to the fact that Wood has been out with ankle injuries; the Rockets have lost their last eight games.

Defensive issues were catching up with Cousins and Silas did not want to pair up two centers on the court. That would have included Woods and Cousins.

That was the final straw and this meant that the Rockets have released him, or in terms, waived him.

Cousins is averaging 9 points and 7 rebounds per game since signing with the Rockets. He is averaging 20 points per game throughout his career.

Marcus Smart will be out until after the ASG!

Marcus Smart will be out until after the ASG! Even though Smart has been traveling with his team, the Celtics, he will be out until the All-Star Game is over.

Since the beginning of February, Marcus Smart has been out due to a left calf strain. However, he is scheduled to miss their next seven games due to rehab. That’s even with him shooting around, practicing, and whatnot.

So, he should be back around March 5th-10th after the All-Star Break. All-Star Game will be played on the 7th of March.

He is averaging 13 points and 6 assists for the season. The Celtics have been 5-6 with Smart missing games, defensive-lack has been key for this team since missing Smart.
