Grizzlies star Marc Gasol cleared up things about his future and his relationship with coach David Fizdale that was fired a few weeks ago.
Per ESPN, Gasol called letting forward Zach Randolph and guard Tony Allen leave as free agents last summer a mistake.
"I understand that I've made some mistakes," Gasol said Monday. "I understand I'm responsible for some of the things -- not all the things. In any relationship, there's multiple moving pieces. Not just one.
"There's not a message I want to get across. I just want to win games."
"The season's not going the way we all wanted early on, obviously," Gasol said. "It's not an easy situation for anybody."
Gasol reiterated Monday that he had nothing to do outside the court with Fizdale's firing after just one season. Gasol said he obviously was not playing at the level he should, but that he and Fizdale "couldn't make it work."
"I think we both wanted what was best for the team, and we were not figuring it out, how to be on the same page," Gasol said. "It got to a point that things were getting out of control fast, and [management] decided to go in a different direction."
