Unreal.
Then again, when a guy wants out, WTF can you do?
Ya never know...maybe that was the best deal he could get?
Gasol was with Grizz for like 6-7 years and Memphis sucks.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Memphis Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace has agreed to a multiyear contract extension.
Team spokesman Dustin Krugel told The Associated Press on Sunday that Wallace had agreed to the deal. Terms weren't immediately available.
The move gives the team some continuity among its leadership. Head coach Lionel Hollins signed a three-year contract with the team in April.
Wallace, also the team's vice president of operations, was present at the team's predraft workout Sunday. Among the six players auditioning for the Grizzlies were Kentucky forward Patrick Patterson and West Virginia forward Devin Ebanks.
The Grizzlies have the 12th, 25th and 28th picks in the first round of Thursday's draft.
Wallace has worked as a scout, director of player personnel and general manager for seven teams. He was the Boston Celtics' general manager before he was hired by the Grizzlies in 2007.
Wallace has been involved in three of the team's most pivotal transactions. He was the GM when the Grizzlies traded forward Pau Gasol to the Lakers -- where he has become a two-time NBA champion -- for a package that included the draft rights to Gasol's brother, Marc Gasol.
He engineered the draft-day deal that brought guard O.J. Mayo to Memphis in 2008. And, in July 2009, he traded journeyman Quentin Richardson to Portland for forward Zach Randolph, who led the team in scoring and rebounding last year and made the All-Star team.
Last season, the once-woeful Grizzlies were part of the playoff picture before folding down the stretch, falling just short of their first .500 season since 2006.
