Brook Lopez became unplayable for the Milwaukee Bucks in their series with the Indiana Pacers as well as in the last few games of the regular season. Will he find himself with another team?
He has the freedom to do that as an unrestricted free agent but with whom?
Betting odds have him as the top signing for the Los Angeles Lakers who just like the Bucks were at the wrong end of a gentleman sweep. The difference is that they were the higher seeded and was a favorite against their opponents Minnesota Timberwolves.
Lopez played for the Lakers in 2017-2018 season.

Other teams showing interest on Milwaukee Bucks veteran
Lakers are in dire need for a big man as they were not able to provide an answer to Rudy Gobert in the first round. The four-time DPOY feasted on the Lakers in Game 5, scoring his career playoff highs of 27 points and 24 rebounds.
They had Anthony Davis before but they traded him in exchange for superstar Luka Doncic.
“No comment,” Lebron James said with a smile when asked if they need a big man. “My guy AD said what he needed and then he was gone the following week, so, I got no comment.”
There are still confirmation whether Lopez will still be with the Bucks come the 2025-2026 season but he could be a covered center during the offseason.
Another team being linked to Splash Mountain are the Brooklyn Nets, his former team.
