FC Barcelona recently renouncing ACB rights on the experienced big man was the first step and the second step will be a way around the rule prohibiting a person holding a front-office position from actually playing for the team. It is clear that all involved parties wish to watch Gasol suit up for Girona in the 2022-23 season. Therefore, this will ultimately be the case. The Catalan star last played in the top division of Spain back in 2008, as a member of CB Girona, the previous club representing the city in the ACB. In 2014, he founded Basquet Girona and this season stepped in as a player to assist in completing the drive from LEB Plata and LEB Oro to the ACB.

Marc Gasol an option for Warriors?

Marc Gasol is a name to watch. He just wiggled his way away from the Lakers and, according to an ESPN report, plans to remain in Spain while sorting out the next (and perhaps last) phase of his playing career. Gasol nearly signed with the Warriors last summer — and might have done so had Thompson not ruptured his Achilles before free agency. It may never materialize, but he has the exact passing acumen and center skill set that has traditionally fit Kerr’s offense best, similar to David West and Andrew Bogut.
