• NBA.Marc Gasol closes the circle: he signs for the Los Angeles Lakers for the next two seasons

  • NBA.There is already a destination for the Hernangómez

This summer,

Juancho and Willy Hernangómez

watched the NBA bubble on television.

Their teams,

Minnesota and Charlotte

, had not been good enough during the season to win a ticket to the mini-tournament that the

NBA

put on at

Disney

headquarters

and they were one of the eight franchises that did not travel.

They packed their suitcase and got ready in the gym for the new course.

In Orlando's regular league games, prior to the start of the Playoffs,

Ricky Rubio's Phoenix Suns

achieved eight wins in the eight games they played.

Victories that inspired for the future but were insufficient to assault one of the positions that gave access to the playoffs.

The

Toronto Raptors of Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol

did arrive in the fight for the ring

, but they failed in their attempt to revalidate the title achieved in 2019. They fell in the second round against Boston and left

Spain without representation in any of the four best teams

of the season: Lakers, Nuggets, Heat and Celtics.

The future of his franchises did not seem the best scenario to see a Spaniard in the NBA Finals soon, not even in one of the big cities, but

the transfer market has changed the atmosphere of the league

, of its best franchises, its stars and the players of our country, who reappear in some of the most interesting places in the competition.

Four of them have changed teams and another, Juancho, has renewed his contract with the Timberwolves.

After all the moves, it's easy to assume that all five of them will be happy.

The 'Battle of Los Angeles' and the fight for the Playoffs

Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka

will be part of the so-called '

Battle of Los Angeles

', the biggest media spotlight in the coming months.

Lakers vs. Clippers

.

The Gasol middleweight has signed for two seasons with those in purple and gold, while the Hispanic-Congolese has done so for two years with the

Staples Center

neighbors

, the pavilion they share.

A historically favorable fight for the Lakers that in recent free agent markets has also moved to the offices.

In the summer of 2019, the Clippers won the race for the signatures of

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George

, stars of the league, but now it has been the Lakers who have stolen

Montrezl Harrell

, the best sixth man of the past season from whom the Clippers They wanted to renew but that has ended up agreeing a contract with the eternal rival.

In response, the city's 'small' franchise signed Serge Ibaka, whom the Lakers also wanted, who ended up winning the fight for Marc Gasol, also wanted by the

Warriors, Clippers

and their former Raptors.

A confrontation between neighbors that will now move to the track, with Gasol and Ibaka meeting in the Staples painting as luxury squires of the great stars of the competition:

LeBron, Davis, Leonard

... The

next Finals bear his name

.

One step down,

Juancho and Ricky will

share a dressing room in some interesting

Timberwolves

who have just selected number one in the draft,

Anthony Edwards

, and who have on their roster two young stars like

D'Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns

.

After the initial disappointment of his departure from Phoenix to

Oklahoma City

, Ricky's final return to Minnesota puts him back on the scene.

He returns to the team that selected him in the draft and will start a franchise that must fight for the Playoffs.

And

Willy

, after a few years without many minutes in Charlotte, now comes to

New Orleans

to play alongside one of the league's sensations:

Zion Williamson

.

A colorful team that will have an impact around the world, quite the opposite of the Hornets, and in which you have the opportunity to earn a place if you want to extend your career in the NBA.
