Marc Gasol got traded to the Memphis Grizzlies 2008, part of the Pau Gasol trade package. Initially, the Pau trade was viewed very negatively, as everybody thought the Lakers got the steal of the decade. But it turns out...it was a great trade for both parties.

A little story about Marc Gasol: When I was nine years old I went to my first ever Grizzlies game. I had no clue what was going on because I didn't know basketball too much and it was still very new to me. During halftime though, the Grizzlies were walking to the locker room and I was in one of the stands close to their entrance. Marc Gasol gave me a fist bump through the stands out of all the other players who were there. Looking back on it almost 10 years later, I see that Marc actually cares about his fans and that Memphis will be his forever home. Great video by the way! Absolutely killed it!

@torreystennitt5079 3 года назад

Marc Gasol is BY FAR the best player in Grizzlies franchise history, although I’m still puzzled as to how he could have won Defensive Player of the Year in 2012-13 if he didn’t make First Team All Defense.

@mjwbulich 4 года назад

@Nicholas Davis I guess if you are a lower tier team relevancy counts for something. Maybe those Memphis teams would have been better with Pau. Marc was a better rim defender but Pau was a better overall player. Regardless it was a huge win for the Lakers(there is no way you can convince me that Marc fills Pau's shoes in the 2010 Finals)and at best it turned out to be a push for Memphis. I don't think so but there is a argument to be made.

The Gasol trade was evaluated terribly by the NBA press, mostly due to lack of knowledge about the ACB at that time. While during the previous year Marc had been a pretty average player, and was selected in the second round of the draft, the year of the trade he was playing at a level that the ACB hadn't seen since Sabonis. If he had been drafted that year, he would have been a mid to high lottery pick.

@lakerfan2874 4 года назад

They have the potential to bring it back with the young core that they have today. I maybe a Lakers fan but I'm not one of those that blame some player for losing, except that time Lebron choked and missed 2 free throws last season against the Spurs and for ruining for what could have been a great young core in the league by joining. They may be in the Finals but they did what the Cavs did when he came back and stopped the rebuild by trading mostly everyone just to win a ring. Only team that didn't do that was the Heat since they had the pieces. It could be nice to see how a Kobe, Pau and Marc tandem would have performed if we played our cards right instead of floundering like Kupchak did. Not that pissed about not getting CP3, just pissed how the team went after the 2012-2013 season and now since I was hoping to see how the core would turn out to be.

They had a phenomenal young core of Pau Gasol, Jason Williams, Mike Miller, James Posey, Shane Battier, Bonzi Wells, Earl Watson. Then after that season they made a disastrous trade with Miami trading Jason Williams and James Posey for an aging Eddie Jones. Posey and Williams became key pieces to that 2006 Heat championship team, and Jones lasted a year and half with the Grizzlies before they were soon one of the worst teams in the league.

@slackerofhell 4 года назад

Marc was a major key player for the Raptors winning it all last year. Offensively in the playoffs he was brutal and I felt like I was gonna have an aneurysm watching him, but on the defensive side he led the team. If you watch him closely on defence you can see he's directing the rest of the team. Kawhi is a great individual defender, but I think the Raptors defense was really beefed up by the addition of Gasol. And as much as I love JV, he struggled against Embiid a lot. Without Gasol keeping Embiid in check, I don't think the Raptors would've made it past round 2.

Marc was always a huge presence. It was like having a giant iceberg in the middle of the court.

As a Raptors fan watching Marc's playoff games last year, his 3 pointers, although not lights-out shooting, were enough to keep the opponents honest and can't leave him wide open. His defence is not as flashy, as Ibaka's blocks, but essential in the overall team defence. Not to mention he overplayed Embiid!

And that's another example of why NBA teams have to look up in big FIBA tournaments. In 2006 world FIBA championship, Pau Gasol got injured in the semifinals against Argentina, Marc came to save the day in the finals game, completely cancelling the big man from Greece, Sofoklis Schortsanitis, who destroyed USA team in the semifinals. And here, Marc was not supposed to be either in the Spain team, he had only 21 years and he was completely out of weight, but it was a perfect example of what it is said in this video.

Talk about making Lemonade out of lemon. I was pulling for Marc. I loved that Grit N Grime squad in Memphis.

You gotta make a How Good Was Zach Randolph. Dude was a beast for over a decade

Another thing to consider and this is once mentioned by Doug Collins during the TNT broadcast of the 2010 NBA All-Star Game is that this Pau Gasol trade for his brother Marc and other throw-ins basically create enough space and use it to bring in Zach Randolph.

This was honestly one of the very few cases where you can say it was a win-win for both sides

As spanish i allways like Marc and i think the video resumes pretty well why i like him. He is a very smart player that makes impact on a deeper level than more flashy players in the league. When you get to recognice that makes you like more the game and it become more of a team game than a iso one

He is a hall of fame player. An nba title, a world championship, greatest grizzly, multiple All NBA, multiple all stars and DPOY is too complete of a resume to be passed on
