Gasol, 35, just completed his 15th NBA season, in which he averaged 16.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game for the Chicago Bulls. At 7-feet tall and able to play both center and power forward, he could truly aid the frontcourt while providing veteran leadership and reasonable production at a low price.
