The 29-year-old is also considered one of the best defensive big men in the league. Gasol previously said that he doesn't see himself anywhere other than Memphis. 

From the Daily News:

“I haven’t weighed anything yet,” said Gasol, who will wait until talking with his agent, Arn Tellum, this offseason. “We’ll sit down and have a human eye-to-eye conversation. We’ll see what we’re looking for the next four or five years of my life with this team, different teams and my family. Whatever decision I make, it would be the best.”

Will the

Lakers

become one of those candidates?

“I won’t say no to anything right now,” Gasol said in an interview with Los Angeles News Group. “If it’s presented to me, I’ll think about it. If not, I won’t.”

Memphis currently sits in third place in the Western Conference with a 24-8 record. The Grizzlies face the Nuggets in Denver on Saturday.
