NBA 2017-18: 5 players who could be traded before the mid-season trade deadline

Boston Celtics v Chicago Bulls
Nikola Mirotic and Robin Lopez

#2 Robin Lopez

Chicago Bulls v Los Angeles Lakers
#42 Robin Lopez

Digest this - Robin Lopez is the highest paid player on the current Bulls roster ($13.5 million).

And he's owed $14.3 million next year in 2018-19, which is also the final year of his 4-year deal that he signed with the New York Knicks in the summer of 2015. He might not be an offensive threat in the post but can be a good defender individually in the post and even in a system.

It would be difficult, however, for the Bulls to find a landing spot for Lopez but surely some non-contending team would love to take up his contract if they are getting back anything of considerable value.
