Memphis Grizzlies disgruntled star center Marc Gasol is continuing to harp on his team during this trying season. After the team’s 12th loss in 13 games, Gasol called out some of his teammates Friday night for “not playing with urgency”.

Postgame – When asked what's missing… why team doesn't have cohesion, Griz center Marc Gasol said: "I'd rather not comment on that right now."

Gasol recently played a part in the firing of head coach David Fizdale, which shed light on the chasm between player and team. Memphis came into the season as a fringe playoff team in the loaded Western Conference, but seeing the foundation crumble the way it has is surprising.
Memphis general manager Chris Wallace has come out and said the team has no plans to rebuild by trading Gasol or point guard Mike Conley. However, if the situation worsens, the Grizzlies may have no choice but to explore the market. Comments like these from one of the team’s star players is certainly startling.
