The Lakers already brought Marc Gasol to their squad on November 24.
Now the Lakers are discussing bringing back older brother Pau, a former Laker, who last played NBA basketball almost 2 years ago, in March 2019.
Pau is 40 1/2 years old, and will be near 41 by the time the season ends. Interestingly, Marc seems more concerned about his brother's health than the chance to finally play together:

I can't imagine that Pau, at age 40 and coming back from a long injury, could be effective anymore. I realize he'd only be a backup, but this seems more like a gimmick than anything else. Do the Lakers really need this?
