#2 Oklahoma City Thunder
Lopez has a history with the Thunder having been involved in a heated bust-up with Jerami Grant earlier this season. The melee occurred after Kris Dunn shoved Russell Westbrook, with Lopez and Grant eventually falling into the first row of fans after squaring off. Nevertheless, neither player has a negative reputation, and the pair have likely already moved on from the clash.
This makes a route to OKC possible, and if Lopez was to sign for the Thunder, he would slot right in as Steven Adams' backup. The veteran can expect to play a similar role to that of Nerlens Noel, who is likely to exit the franchise in search of a longer and higher-paid deal.
Lopez could expect to play around 15 minutes per game from the bench, and Billy Donovan's preference for throwback bigs could make the Thunder a natural fit for him.
