Type: Unrestricted
2014-15 Season Stats: 17.2 points, 7.4 rebounds
Potential Landing Spots: Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks
The only reason Brook Lopez opted out this summer was to secure his future. He wants a long term deal for protection from his injury-prone self. Still, there is a scenario in which one of the more desperate teams with gobs of money in free agency — the Lakers, Knicks of Mavericks — ends up throwing insane money at Lopez simply to get someone.
At the end of the day, I just don’t see it happening. Lopez will remain with the Nets on a three or four-year deal.
Where he signs: Brooklyn Nets
Next: 9. Draymond Green
