- Two-time NBA champion Pau Gasol is leaving the San Antonio Spurs to join the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks, ESPN reported on Friday, a move that will add veteran experience to a young team trying to win the franchise their first title since 1971. The 38-year-old Spaniard has struggled this season, missing 26 games with a stress fracture in his foot and seeing his on-court production dip to the lowest averages in his 18-year career.
But the Bucks may be less interested in what Gasol can do on the floor and more interested in the six-time All Star’s ability to serve as a leader in the locker room on a team led by 24-year-old MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo.“It’s been a dream to play for 1 of most storied franchises in history, an honor to be part of Spurs family... thank you for making this place so special.”
Gasol was guaranteed $6.7 million of his $16 million salary in 2019-20 and is earning $16 million this season, according to ESPN.Pau’s younger brother Marc joined the Eastern Conference’s Toronto Raptors last month in a trade-deadline deal with Memphis Grizzlies. With the Raptors in second place in the conference, the two could potentially face off in the playoffs.
