2021-2022 Post-Mortem: Robin Lopez

Post #1 » by **Knightro** » Wed Apr 27, 2022 1:13 pm

Hi everyone,

I'm going to do a poll about every player on the roster over the next few weeks leading into the draft lotto. Looking to get some general thoughts on what the Magic should do with each player moving forward.

We'll go from the guys who played the least to the guys who played the most.

Robin is a good chemistry guy and there were some fun moments watching him play Captain Hook, but he's pretty much washed up at this point. I wouldn't bring him back even as a third-string center.

Resigning Lopez is dependent on to things: 1) Bamba's contract and 2) the Magic SRPs.

3) Bol Bol's Health

Just no. We need to aim higher than RoLo.

I'm fine with keeping him. He's a good vet and when you ask him to play, he'll make hook shots lol. I say resign him.

Sure, he's a nice guy and a good teammate, but I just don't see the point. He can live near Disney on his own dime if wants to. Give me a high-energy, young cast-off as a 3rd center. There are plenty around.
