Robin Lopez, Chicago Bulls

Quietly, Robin Lopez is averaging a career high 13.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and nearly one block per game this season with the lowly Chicago Bulls. Word out of Chicago is that they could move some of their veteran pieces in exchange for draft assets.

That means that Lopez could hit the trade market sooner rather than later. It’s difficult to gauge whether Lopez will be moved, simply because there isn’t a great demand for the center position in today’s game.

Although, he’s more than a capable starter and comes at a low price. Lopez getting moved for a late first-round draft pick or a couple second-rounders seems like what it’ll take to get the deal done.
