Marc Gasol will be the New York Knicks' main free agent target next offseason, but the San Antonio Spurs will pursue Gasol assuming Tim Duncan retires after the season.
Gasol is also appealed by staying with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies can offer Gasol the most money, and he has grown to love the city, having lived there since high school when Pau Gasol broke into the NBA.

I dunno a core of Marc, Tony and Kawhi is better than anything Memphis could put together. Add in Splitter, Mills, Diaw, Anderson and maybe Green and that's a pretty solid team.

Yeah, I guess you have a point there. Another factor will be playoff runs this year. If Memphis goes far everything will be lovey-dovey there and he might stay to chase a title but if they get run from the playoffs early he might bolt. On the other hand if we go deep or win a championship again I don't know if any FA's will want to come and try to live up to the past 3 years. They could be destined to fail and might want to win in another city where if they fall short it wont be because of them.

If Duncan does retire Marc would be a perfect fit.
Thoughts?
