Marc Gasol contends he will never ask for a trade from Grizzlies
Gasol is due $24.1 million due in 18-19 and $25.6 million on a player option in 19-20
Marc Gasol told Zach Lowe of ESPN that he will never ask Grizzlies to be traded.
Gasol is due $24.1 million due in 18-19 and $25.6 million on a player option in 19-20.
Per ESPN (via RealGM), "I have a responsibility to this city," Gasol said. "I'm not gonna quit, no matter what."
Gasol was asked whether that would stay the same if the Grizzlies fell 30 games under .500.
"I would want to see how we got there -- what the process is," Gasol said.
"But as long as [owner] Robert [Pera] wants me here, my teammates want me here, they think I'm part of the solution -- and not part of the problem -- that's all I need."
If the Grizzlies approach him with a trade, however, Gasol would accept it.
"If they think it is best, I would do anything for this franchise," Gasol said.
