Lakers fans, meet your new savior: Robin Lopez. Nope, not Brook. The other one.
Here’s Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski:
Another serious consideration for Robin Lopez: The Lakers.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 3, 2015
This came right after Woj tweeted the Knicks and Lopez were working toward a quite fruitful deal, which, of course, blew up Twitter preemptively.
So, when news dropped the Lakers are active in such negotiations, there went Twitter again.
The numbers might be mind-boggling, but once the cap goes up, any deal the Lakers might sign becomes great value, injuries and such variables aside. The point here is the Lakers haven’t simply wasted their afternoon in some hopeless second meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge.
Lopez, 27, could grow alongside Randle and do many of the things the latte cannot, mostly on the defensive side of the ball.
So, here we are, Jeannie Buss vs. her fiance, Phil. Winner takes all! Okay, fine. Winner takes a serviceable big man.
