Serge Ibaka is no longer on the free-agent market, reportedly agreeing to a two-year deal with the LA Clippers.
As Ibaka's deal was reportedly agreed upon, the Toronto Raptors were working on trying to get Marc Gasol to return, but they are receiving some competition.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Golden State Warriors are also courting Gasol.

Marc Stein of The New York Times also reported that the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers are interested in Gasol.
The Lakers also seek one more big man, league sources say, but they face much tougher financial constraints in the chase for Gasol after signing Montrezl Harrell away from the Clippers and re-signing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

In the twilight of his career, Gasol would be a great veteran fit on the Warriors - a team that will be welcoming plenty of young faces in Kelly Oubre Jr., No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman, Andrew Wiggins, Eric Paschall and Jordan Poole.
While the Raptors reportedly have failed to bring back Ibaka, they have reportedly re-signed Fred VanVleet - one of the biggest free agents this offseason - to a four-year $85 million deal.
