Brook Lopez — Update: Expected to sign four-year deal with Bucks

The Los Angeles Lakers made a colossal mistake when they let Brook Lopez walk following the 2017-2018 season. While he started to trend upward in LA, Lopez reminded everyone why he’s an all-time great Brooklyn Net last season.

An improved three-point shooter, Lopez was dominant from deep last season along with being one of the best defensive big men in the league. After averaging 20-plus for four seasons throughout his career, Lopez put up just 12.5 per game this past season, the lowest of his career.

While that might seem unproductive for Lopez, it was arguably one of his most impactful seasons. He was a key contributor, connecting on 2.3 threes and block 2.2 shots per game, on the league’s best regular season team.

Lopez signed for $3.3 million this past season. He’s easily looking at an eight-figure contract if he wants it. Lopez has played on some of the NBA’s worst teams while making over $20 million per year. If he’s willing to lower his cost yet still look to make more, he could accept Golden State’s MLE.

Lopez would be a quintessential fit for Golden State.
