Sportingnews.com Thinks That the Milwaukee Bucks Could Lose Brook Lopez To the Golden State Warriors This Offseason
Sportingnews.com writer Colin Keane thinks that the Golden State Warriors could make a move for Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez this offseason. Lopez is 36 years old and will become a free agent after this season. The Bucks could very well not re-sign him after this season. He will be 37 in April.
“Given his age, Lopez probably won’t demand that much money for his next contract, which works out well for the Warriors. A one- or two-year contract that barely cuts into Golden State’s cap room would be ideal for the Warriors as they look to fill out the rest of the roster.
Lopez would represent another player with championship experience in Golden State’s locker room. He’s also on the same timeline as Butler, Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green.
Warriors fans should keep a close eye on Lopez playing for Milwaukee the rest of this season. It’s more than likely that Golden State GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. will be doing just that as he evaluates whether Lopez would be a good signing in July.”
Draymond Green and Quinten Post have been playing center for Golden State lately. An addition of Lopez could help Golden State next year for a team that is trying to maximize its championship window under Steph Curry and also head coach Steve Kerr.
Also, another factor could be what the future holds for Jonathan Kuminga in Golden State. Lopez so far this season for the Bucks is averaging 12.5 PPG, 5.0 RPG, and 1.7 APG, along with shooting 49.3% from the field. Milwaukee will most likely have to find a replacement for him this offseason. He could retire, go to the Warriors, or elsewhere also.
