#2 Robin Lopez targets Warriors

Action from Chicago Bulls v Washington Wizards game

Chicago Bulls center, Robin Lopez continues to be linked with a move away from the team, and Yahoo Sports is reporting that Lopez has been looking to exit the team since last month:

Lopez’s representation has been in discussions with the Bulls’ front office about an exit strategy since late December.. The Bulls have been reluctant to part ways with the 30-year-old 7-footer, who happens to be the oldest player on their roster. They would rather part with Lopez via trade to get an asset

During an interview with Yahoo, Lopez also discussed his interest in joining the Golden State Warriors, saying, "I think it’s an appealing situation for just about anybody in the league. You go there, they share the ball, they play defense, they play the right way."

Lopez is currently in the final year of a four-year $54 million contract that he signed back in 2015. If the Warriors manage to pull off a trade for the experienced center, Lopez will provide backup for DeMarcus Cousins, who is set to return this week.
