Memphis doesn’t play again until Thursday, at which point the trade deadline will have passed. The fact that he’s not making the trip is a pretty clear indicator that the Grizzlies believe there’s a good chance that he gets moved, and Gasol himself thinks he’ll have a new home by the end of the day.
