Marc Gasol's deal with Lakers worth $5.3M over two years

"The Los Angeles Lakers have re-signed forward Markieff Morris, it was announced today by Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Rob Pelinka".

Gasol will suit up for the Lakers almost 13 years after the franchise acquired his older brother, Pau, by trading Marc's draft rights to the Memphis Grizzlies in February 2008 while Marc was still playing professionally in Spain. Having said this, it makes sense as to why the Lakers were so adamant about finding a way to bring Morris back this season, as the Lakers look to win two titles in a row. He averaged 9.7 points and 3.8 rebounds last season while shooting 38.6% from long range.

Morris had also reportedly been the subject of interest from the Lakers' rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers.

This will be a one-year, veteran minimum contract (the only kind of contract the Lakers can still hand out), although the Lakers can give him 120% of the minimum through non-Bird because he was with the team last season.

Clarkson was a free agent.

Morris was acquired by the Clippers from the New York Knicks in February and played 19 regular-season games with his new team.

He is one of just six players in the league to claim over 6,000 rebounds, 1,100 blocks and 350 three-pointers.
