9. Robin Lopez (Buy)

In the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors quickly learned the value of having capable veteran players on the bench. When things took a turn for the worse and multiple stars began to suffer from injury, the Dubs rotation became extremely thin, likely costing them a title.

The position in which they are currently lacking the most is the center position. Outside of a few productive games from DeMarcus Cousins and Kevon Looney (when healthy), the Dubs were struggling to find a big man that could stay on the floor for them.

The solution: Robin Lopez. He gives the Dubs everything they are looking for. A big body that is comfortable getting physical down low and banging for rebounds. Last season, Lopez put up 9.5 points and 3.9 rebounds a game in just 21.1 minutes of playing time.

Lopez is the perfect player for the Dubs to insert into the game when they need a big-man presence. Seeing as how he shouldn’t be too expensive, this signing makes too much sense.
