The Memphis Grizzlies were in town and beat on the Knicks winning 103-82. Prior to the game, reporters were able to speak to Marc Gasol who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and is highly coveted by the Knicks. A few weeks ago a report surfaced that Gasol ruled out the Knicks as a possible destination but he confirmed the report is not true.
NBA: Report, If Tim Duncan Retires, Spurs Make It Known They Are Going After Marc Gasol
San Antonio has been the league’s most consistent franchise for going on 18 years now, but two of the three players that have been in place for much of the team’s recent success — Duncan and Ginobili — are in the final years of their respective contracts, and could very well choose retirement at the conclusion of this season. If that happens, the Spurs aren’t going to pursue a long rebuild through the draft. They’re instead expected to go hard after one of the top unrestricted free agents that will hit the market this summer.

Knicks fans…you can all let go of the hope that we were going to be able to sign Marc Gasol in the off season and steal him away from Memphis. He just made it very clear that New York will not be a destination for him and can you blame him? The entire franchise is a joke, and with the exception of the 2012-2013 season, we have been a joke for over a decade. Hopefully things will turn around next season, but Gasol won’t be apart of it. He did however drop a hint to a new possible location.

At the end of the 2014-15′ season, Amare Stoudemire and Andrea Bargnani will come off the New York Knicks books. That means for the first time in a longgg time, they will have substantial salary cap space and can make some moves during free agency. One of the biggest names that will be available is former Defensive Player of the Year, Marc Gasol. The Knicks could certainly use his help and will definitely make a run at him but it’s expected that they won’t get very far and apparently they know that too.
