Type: Unrestricted
2014-15 Season Stats: 17.2 PPG, 7.4 RPG
Potential Landing Spots: New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Oklahoma City Thunder
Brook Lopez was shopped heavily leading up to the NBA trade deadline as he looked to be slowed by injuries and was lethargic on the defensive end. Lopez has averaged 17.9 points and 7.3 rebounds in his career and closely matched those numbers last season when he averaged 17.2 points and 7.4 rebounds.
Lopez made himself a lot of money this summer because he was a big reason why Brooklyn snuck into the playoffs, as he averaged 20.2 points and 9.2 rebounds in regular season games in April. He kept those numbers high against the Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs when he averaged 19.8 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.
Look for Charlotte to be one of the many teams angling for Lopez this summer. Oklahoma City could also be in the mix if they decide not to retain Enes Kanter.
Next: Dwyane Wade
