Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Fri Jul 3, 2015 3:23 am

Robin Lopez has committed to signing with the New York Knicks, contingent on DeAndre Jordan not choosing to sign with the franchise.

Jordan is considering the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks.

Lopez received an offer worth approximately $12 million to $13 million per season from the Knicks.

The Lakers were also pursuing Lopez.

Well good for him, gotta take the best offer on the table. Maybe he will average a double double this year on a horrendous Knicks squad.

Lillard
Henderson/cj
Aminu
Ed Davis/Noah Vonleh
Mason P/Leonard

with upwards of 25m of cap-space left to make things happen. Am I sad we're losing all our guys for nothing? Obviously but we're making some smart moves and reloading in a way that I can't hate. We're a lotto team for a few years but we're not in a hope-less situation by any means to me.

I think he is perfectly suited to their team: just get the missed shots from Carmelo, rebound and bang around. He could easily be a 12-10 guy for the season.

Good consolation prize gives us a legit starting center! Hopefully it's for no more than 12 mill for the 1st year!

Robin Lopez is a really solid center and hopefully a nice compliment to Melo and Porzingis. This is a good get.
